Whenever we post stories that inform the American people of the ongoing threat from terrorist enemies a good number of people on the left, and a few who post comments here, are quick to say we are just trying to scare people. Some imply that the information is nonsense, that terrorists are not smart enough or clever enough to be more than a criminal threat and therefore don’t pose a serious threat at all. Some believe the news is manufactured as a way to further the vast industrial complex that only wants to make money on oil and the tools of war. Oh my!
So what about you? Would you rather know about the threats that face us or would you, as a mere citizen, prefer to go on about your days in blissful ignorance? If you love that ignorance read no further. If you prefer to know what we face, read on:
Al Qaeda planners are lying in wait, plotting another major attack on U.S. soil involving weapons of mass destruction, according to a dire new report. ** Osama bin Laden’s terror network has made several attempts to acquire large-scale biological, chemical or nuclear weapons in the years since the Sept. 11 attacks, according to a new report. ** Former high-ranking CIA official Rolf Mowatt-Larssen reported in a paper for Harvard’s Kennedy School that al Qaeda operatives are desperate to launch the most devastating terror attack yet.
I think we should be kept informed. I also think information like this makes the decision to hold terrorist trials in New York City even more ridiculous. It was an egregious error of judgment that should be reversed immediately!
