9/11 Again; Only More Severe?
I listened to most of the Michael Savage program yesterday, where he interviewed Paul Williams, a former FBI consultant. Mr. Williams, according to the Savage program, is due to have a book out in a few months detailing how al-Qaida has 5,000 sleeper-cell terrorists that already are in the U.S. via entry through the U.S. - Mexican border. Mr. Williams also claims these terrorists have twenty suitcase nukes in the U.S. and are planning to detonate them in Boston, New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Miami , Las Vegas, Houston, Los Angeles and other major cities.
A caller to the program, who said he was former military, said he doubted that it is suitcase nukes that the sleeper cells possess. He said it was more likely that they had Dirty Bombs.
Somehow, I don't rest any easier knowing its Dirty Bombs rather than Suitcase Nukes.
Of course, there are those who call these predictive allegations outrageous. And maybe they are. But what if they're not? If you thought that the economy and consumer confidence waned after 9/11 (and it did!), what would you think it would be like after a dirty bomb or suitcase nuke attack?
As if that isn't enough to be concerned over, we also have the possibility of KGB agents in cahoots with al-Qaida:
Representative Tom Tancredo was to meet with Mr. Williams today. I haven't yet heard or read if that took place or not. Tancredo is one of the few voices urging a stronger stance in the border issues the U.S. faces with Mexico.
HERE is, purportedly, the full text of Osama Bin Laden's letter to the United States. Clearly, this man (or whomever wrote the letter) is a madman, practicing violence and mass murder in the name of his religion.
It appears that at least three Britons of Pakistani descent carried out the attacks in London on July 7. This certainly makes the argument for a stronger and more guarded policy for borders, language and culture.
If someone has made up their mind to kill you, chances are they are going to either succeed in their goal, or die trying. The only defense you have is to have knowledge of when and where it is to take place and avert it, or apprehend or kill them before they kill you.
One bomb ("dirty" or suitcase nuke) would devastate the U.S. Twenty would return us to the 17th Century. It would make the Great Depression seem like a Sunday picnic.
If Nazism had been a religion during World War II, would we have afforded Nazis the same benefit of the doubt that we now afford suspected terrorists at Gitmo? At Abu Ghraib? Hardly! Well, not unless you believe in the erroneous Liberal ideology that terrorists can be dealt with through legal channels and the court system. One can only imagine people like John Kerry or the former, ousted Spanish government asking Heinrich Himmler if he'd prefer Splenda or Sweet N' Low with his coffee, and if the air conditioning is too cold.
