The Terrorists are coming! The Terrorists are coming!

Today's broadcast of "The McClaughlin(sp?) Group" had a short segment  
discussing the likelihood that terrorists will get and detonate a nuclear  
device.  The opinions of the five journalists varied from "not likely" to  
"almost certain".  At the end of the show, when the journalists are asked  
to make their predictions, one of them said that due to the terrorist  
threat, the US needs a larger and more powerful intelligence capability  
that ever before.

  first of all the only "muslim" (NOT ARAB, NO ARABS HAVE NUKES, the only 
country with nukes in the middle east is Israel) country
with a nuclear program is pakistan, and they're years away from anything
that could be stolen.

second of all there are more deaths caused by lighting on golf courses,
ask any insurance agency.

some call it pork barrel, I call it consperasy theory to protray muslims 
as terroists.

Hi Yusuf

I don't recall the Jim's article mentioning "muslim" terrorists
specifically. Or are only "muslims" terrorist in your book? :-)

The only other people who are called terroist are the IRA, and I don't see
the FBI scrambling to protect Great Britian's consulet in DC when a 
car bomb goes off in London

I'd rather respond to anything further on this thread by e-mail
rather then spam the Cypher mailing list.

True, but only because they haven't gotten their hands on any yet.  It is
well known in certain international arms circles that Kadaffi or Hussein
would absolutely *love* to have their own means of producing nuclear
weapons.  And they aren't alone.

I don't think so.  Most of the world's terrorists (with the exception of the
IRA and a handful of others) are recruited and trained by folks in the
Middle East.  It may be true that they have gotten more than their share of
publicity in the past, but the fact remains - the Middle East is *the*
training ground for that sort of thing, and there isn't a fundamentalist over
there who wouldn't like to shove a suitcase nuke up Bill's ass.

Haven't you heard?  America *is* THE ENEMY to a majority of the folks over
in that part of the world.  If you don't believe me, travel to that part of
the world carrying an American passport and see what happens.
