| | | Credible threat against NYC Subway system
The title says it all, here is a link: [url]http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=1190231&page=1[/url]
Apparently, this was to happen in a few days and was just discovered in the past few days in Iraq by the military, CIA and FBI during raids.

| | | You know, and I hate to sound like the devil's advocate on this... this is about the umpteenth "credible" threat I've heard since 9/11. But nothing happened.
I could theorize a lot of reasons why, but I'm not going to get into any arguments on it, though eventually I get the feeling we're going to be treating these like our weather reports. |

That doesn't mean the threats weren't real. Maybe they're actually stopping these guys BEFORE they are able to pull something off, or maybe they're deterring them with the increased public awareness and police presence.
Either way, I'd rather be alerted before an incident that doesn't happen than not alerted to an incident that does...

| | | I saw it on South African news. I'll pray for anyone if there'll be attacks. Sure don't hope so. I don't think america will withstand another tragedy, not so short after Katrina. What is our world coming too!?

| | | Uuuh huh, it happens over hear and the US officials start jumping about having a spazz attack over the idea?
Remember 9/11 and how aprently somthign so similar was going to happen in London in the following weeks? Did it...? No.
Copycat bombings or not, i couldn't care less. The less peopel worry about this crap, the less meaning the word '[i]terrorist[/i]' will have.
I went into London today. I used the tube. As soon as stuff gets back to normal here, it seems somone has decided we better mess things up again out there...
Get on with your daily lives. If somthings gunna happen, it will, and you wont be able to avoid it. |

| | | these terrorist really need to take a philospohy class. ever since i took that i have had an open mind about life. and i got to tell you, i was pissed off when 9/11 happened. the thought of a attack now just outrages me. there is [B][U]NO[/U][/B] need for an attack. none. life is hard now without any bs to deal with. but ending the life of someone is just pointless. what will you succed in? [COLOR=red][B][I][U]NOTHING.[/U][/I][/B][/COLOR][COLOR=black] there is no reason for violence. IF you really hate us so much, why dont you just LEARN to ACCEPT IT, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE???[/COLOR]

| | | To us, there's no reason. To extremists like them, they'll ascend to heaven and be rewarded with 71 virgins, or something like that.
I've got to agree with Steven on this one, though. It seems like the government is just being the boy who cried wolf on these attacks

yeah that would really work, great idea!
anyways these threats are the biggest pieces of crap that come out of the government. these terrorists are smart. no matter how much people hate them, they are smart. once it gets out in the public that there could be a possible attack, they will switch it to something else. so now when we're all expecting an attack in a subway, boom we get hit in the lincoln tunnel or on the GW bridge. they may as well just say that there is a very possible threat on every single building, tunnel, and bridge in the country. then when something does happen, they can say "we told you so"
