"If There Is Enough Dead In The Streets We Will Do Things We Don't Want To Do"

[Adnowwwwn]

Why do educated people become so called "terrorists"??

MAYBE BECAUSE THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR A LEGITIMATE CAUSE. Stop keeping the public in the dark and tell them the truth about Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and our roles/actions in them.

[forloveoffilm]

The V A S T majority of so-called Islam extremists are from upper, or upper-middle class, educated individuals - much like the Christian extremists. This is not new information. Sam Harris wrote in detail of this in his 2004 book, The End of Faith. Recommended reading for thinking people.

[akaEtoo]

this new abc anchor is horrible

[marniespeaks]

7these nut job would racially profile the president

[fleetingdays]

Airline travel will never be the same. Only government elite will have safe travel.

[marniespeaks]

dian sawyer had sex with richard nixon

[deveousdevil]

wait, the guys were set free from the Saudi prison??? the NY Post (a joke of a paper) reported that they escaped....... -_-

[fleetingdays]

Airline travel will never be the same. Only the government elite will be able to travel safely.

[FlowerClown]

Same problems after all these years after 9/11. Thanks for keeping us so much safer.

Now we have to take off our shoes, no GPS, no blanket, no bathrooms no liquid.

What are we doing this for? 99% for show 1% safer.

Come on we can do better.

[callouschristian]

Napolitano takes the fall for yet another issue which our government neither cares about or has any intention of fixing. How could they? Robbing the American People for the benefit of AIG and the rest of Wall Street is a very consuming job! Got zionism???

[twilightawakening]

Um how is the crap he wrote in that chat room signs of being a terrorist? I mean yes he was a terrorist but the fucking media really likes to fluff things up don't they.

[Bunnicula71]

I've seen the conspiracy types talking about this guy getting on a plane without a passport, escorted by CIA agents etc.

Any of y'all wanna cite some evidence. I have an open mind, but I also have little faith in successful coverups and vast conspiracies.

People tend to F up, and most of the theories espoused hinge on people executing perfectly. People are fallible and balls get dropped in every endeavour.

[73cupcake]

Bunnicula71, Listen to the Kurt Haskell interviews. He's a lawyer who was on the plane.

[drgoodvibesxxx]

every time a terroris  plot comes to light our rights are getting eroded. American is becoming a police state slowly but surely. I can guarentee that we will stop most terrorist plots but will pay with our liberty for it.

[Kerrville911Truth]

The whole scheme was sitting in Langley, and supposedly the C.I.A. passed on the info to homeland Security.

This is not true. The CIA directed the whole thing, and was escorted onto the plane by an agent.

The passengers were meant to die at the hands of the CIA.

The only failure was the CIA failed to kill these people.

[LoryLandskipper]

where the fuck do people like you come up with this horse shit? Your fact-less rants are hilarious!

[Kerrville911Truth]

Factless, watch the video again fool. Of couse the CIA had the info, they admit it.

Pleased to hear you think such serious issues are hilarious.

[mikheii]

The guy also didn't have a passport to get on the plane. That should have been enough.

With that many red flags ignored, you wonder if he was purposely allowed on that plane. Honestly- an attempted attack just weeks after Obama makes the case for staying in Afghanistan, and just before the new year. YOUR GOVERNMENT NEEDS MORE POWER.

[iTellYouNoLie]

patriot act is due for a re-authorization too.

[mcc11505]

Witch hunt.The "Christmas bomber" looks like another staged event & coverup to me.The web of lies. Torture law abiding citizens for years, + raise federal airline ticket taxes, & this the result. sucks. Fascism = citizens surrender our rights & privileges for the greater good to corporatism & bureaucracy.

[klegster]

@mcc11505

yup, it sounds like the elite wants to have a war for some reason in Yemen, must be some valuable resource there.

[doctorofghetto]

Wow, is this real news from ABC? But, here is what I do not get, if this (and many other) situations can bypass these intense security measures, then we should abolish these implementations. What would be next in having high security, NYC Subways? Buses? Amtrak Trains? At the same time, have increase fares and pay services for travel/commute because of these measures? Those that want to give up freedom for some security, deserve none of security or safety. And by destiny, I want freedom.

[ReliableInsider]

I don't know how they did it but the Right Wing seems to have miraculously re-created the McCarthy era with all the attendant paranoia and stupidity.

Since we've seen it all before, let's not be stupid. Let's not repeat the same mistakes.

The first thing that Congress should do is set up a House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and then JAIL ANYONE who wants to be on it.

[greshamweed]

The McCarthy era never ended, in fact it predates McCarthy.

Not repeating mistakes means learning from history which the general masses never do.

Religion is not genetic but cultural hatred is pretty close.

You are correct about recent converts.

Religion is the path to eternal enlightenment. I find it facinating that it is also the road to external destruction.

[ReliableInsider]

I think the primary problem with profiling people who are genetically Muslim is that there's no such thing.

Religion is not actually genetic. It's a belief system.

As Malcolm X was famously shocked to discover, Muslims come in all colors.

And one of the most passionate kind of zealot is the recent convert.

So "racial profiling" is . . . idiotic.

Will there be a distinguished elderly Caucasian Islamic fundamentalist who is female and supports killing civilians someday? Unfortunately, yes.

[LoryLandskipper]

Not only that, but if we had RELIGIOUS profiling, how the hell can anyone truly believe that a terrorist simply won't act Islamic, or religious at all for that matter?

Profiling makes no sense, but I agree, it's FUCKED UP we all suffer because of one dumb bastard.

I personally think the scene from Total Recall is the only accurate portrayal of our potential future in the entire movie: People just walk on through an x-ray machine, and if there's a weapon, an alarm goes off.

[twilightawakening]

Agreed with the first two paragraphs.

[LoryLandskipper]

You don't think having the xray machines is an ok alternative? Even if they're shown to be completely safe?

[mynameisbobtoo]

@LoryLandskipper I would agree but recently there has been a news story about the CAT scans used in Hospitals. They were certified safe too.

CT scans deliver far more radiation than has been believed and may contribute to 29,000 new cancers each year, along with 14,500 deaths, suggest two studies in today's Archives of Internal Medicine.

So, how safe is safe?

Are you willing to trust some minimum wage worker at an airport to get the radiation settings correct?

[LoryLandskipper]

lol well I'm fairly certain they wouldn't be controlling the level of radiation, and I'm positively certain they wouldn't equip these machines with the capability of delivering lethal doses of radiation.

If a trustworthy source can use science to show why the machines are safe, then I'm all for it. Until then, I'm weary. When it comes down to it, that's the main issue I have with them. I couldn't care less if someone wants to save an image of my immaculate Adonis-like body.

[LoryLandskipper]

^Oh and you do realize that only female staff would be able to view female passengers in such machines right? Same with males?

Personally, I have no problem allowing someone to see my dingdong if it means I can simply walk through a checkpoint easily lol

[OneCourageous]

i dunno man i think the attacks are going to start intensifying b/c of the continued stay in the middle east. We have Saudi Arabia completely surrounded now could that be a future altercation? Either way until we stop treating this like a law enforcement issue and call it how it is, we will continue to get attacked. Next the Taliban will shoot up our malls and schools and what's funny is I have not heard one single outcry from any Muslim in the country..

[ogapadoga]

some of TSA's SOP are really bad.... try to read SOP from different airports around the world.. some of them are very clear and very good

[squared34red]

Jesus...

[Pellegrino80]

Just go buck naked on the planes then we all be sure there's no bombs hidden, more security regulations to get into a damn plane... haha

[DVincentW]

@Pellegrino80 theyll still do an endoscopy on orifices...

[Garlannd]

YES full body exams for every passenger! That's the solution!

[phospheneca]

u will never get support for your war in yemen.

[superfuzz]

@phospheneca they've been sending in missiles for months already. that's what started this whole thing. the media just isn't talking about it.

[drewsick]

They going to attack Yemen

[superfuzz]

@drewsick they have been bombing it for months

[drewsick]

I mean - Iraq style

[IlluminatiSeer]

inside job !

brought to you by FBI

[Squirelbutt]

cosponsored by the CIA

[OneCourageous]

isnt that the reason why we have the Department of Homeland Security was all about to share information? These incompetent imbeciles are going to get us killed.

[UpperCanada1812]

bet you cheney wanted that attack to happen and some cia repub didn't follow through on purpose.

[MrMP81]

Believe me this isn't about Republican & Democrat. Obama continuing the same policies as Bush, even more extreme should prove just that.

There was an Indian man who put the Nigerian on the plane WITHOUT a passport, no one is talking about, or even bringing him up. Who was this guy?

There's too much b.s. going on...
