• http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6073730n Play CBS Video Video Abdulmutallab's Chilling Claim U.K. intelligence confirms that alleged Christmas day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab boasted close to 20 other young Muslim men are being prepared to blow up planes. Armen Keteyian reports.

(CBS) By CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian and investigative producer Pat Milton.

British Intelligence has confirmed perhaps the most chilling boast that accused Christmas Day bomber Umar Abdulmutallab made to investigators after his arrest: that close to 20 other young Muslim men were being prepared in Yemen to use the same technique to blow up airliners, CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian reports exclusively.

"I think the fact we know that there are other operatives being trained by al Qaeda in Yemen is extremely troubling, and is the most dangerous dimension to come out of the December 25th event," said CBS News national security analyst Juan Zarate.

That is why, sources say, the U.S. government issued this directive last Sunday - announcing "enhanced screening" for "every individual" on U.S.-bound flights from 14 countries, including Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen.

Special Report: The Christmas Day Terror Attack

In addition, a team of FBI agents is now on the ground in the West African nation of Ghana, having arrived last Saturday, attempting to piece together Abdulmutallab's whereabouts and activities in the two weeks prior to the attempted attack on Flight 253.

Timeline of Abdulmutallab's Actions

According to a government official, Abdulmutallab first arrived in the Ghana capitol of Addis Ababa on December 9 after spending five months in Yemen.

U.S officials strongly suspect Abdulmutallab met Al Qaeda operatives in Ghana who may well have offered final preparations for his suicide mission investigating if it was there that the would-be bomber obtained the specially-designed underwear packed with highly explosive powder.

"One of the keys is to get to London, to Ghana, to Nigeria, to Yemen to find out who Abdulmutalab was talking to, what he was doing, what else may be at play here with respect to a pipeline coming out of Yemen to hit the United States," Zarate said.

Well this government official needs some help. Accra is the Capital of Ghana and Addis Ababa is the Capital of Ethiopia.

Doesn't inspire much confidence in who's looking out for us, does it?

 

[Whataburger]

And we have to get full body scans and take our IDs out of their holder? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, history proven where the ducks come from, it's probably a duck.

 

[lookin4better]

It is time to clean house, I would completely support killing squads to hunt these people down, and kill them and leave no evidence of where the body may be. It is the only thing these thugs will understand.

The only "justice" these scumbags deserve is knowing they will be killed, and no one will know when or how they died, and their body will never be discovered. It may sound harsh, but they are more than ready to do it to us.

These sub human scumbags are ready to die, might as well help them get there.

I will add to the above that in no way are all Muslims violent or terrorists, there are over 1 billion of them in the world, if they were all extremist nuts, we would be in some serious trouble. The fundamentalists are the problem...and a serious one at that.

How about abolishing the TSA and all security restrictions for everyone EXCEPT those with passports from the middle east? At least until we have suicide bombers that are white, afro American, native Americans, Hispanic, etc. Stop this nonsense and start protecting the citizens of this country. All we know where this terrorist come from or what religion they are from.....

Hate to tell you, put Nigeria is not the Middle East. The the Afro bomber was from Nigeria. The Middle East is not the sole problem. The problem is radical moslems everywhere. Especially in Europe. The most dangerous ones are the western converts who know our system.

The most important line of the original post in my opinion. Even if you fly a Saab, ERJ, or a 747 it could happen to you. Terrorism hurts more in the fear it creates than the actual attempt. If regional and cargo guys don't think they are thinking of everything then we are ignorant fools.

Hate to tell you, put Pakistan is not the Middle East nor is the Afro bomber from Nigeria. The Middle East is not the sole problem. The problem is radical moslems everywhere. Especially in Europe. The most dangerous ones are the western converts who know our system.

And some who may even be pilots.

 

[bluechunks]

Especially in Europe. The most dangerous ones are the western converts who know our system.

Indeed.

For example the 12/25 bomber was from a very upper class family, educated in "English" schools as a child, and earned an engineering degree from a University in London. He would find it very easy to "blend-in" and give the appearance of somebody other than a crazed terrorist.

 

[Hamburger]

Gotta give it up for the kid's father. Cut him off when he learned that he wanted to go to jihad camp and turned in his own son. Must've been hard to do the right thing. Who would have thought a Nigerian Banker would have our back?

It's truly frightening that Barry Hussein NoBama, commander in chief, is incapable off uttering the words "muslim terrorist" instead we get "al-Queda terrorist" out of him. Can't upset the muslims you know. The Bush administration would have had this latest 72 virgin seeking muslim terrorist singing like a canary. Instead we get a leftwing politically correct president who thinks these muslim terrorists deserve lawyers. This president is the worst in history hands down. What an embarrassment.

Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem?

By Yii-Ann Christine Chen

Ms. Chen is a student at the University of Washington and an intern at HNN.

Is it Muslim or Moslem?

When Baby Boomers were children it was Moslem. The American Heritage Dictionary (1992) noted, "Moslem is the form predominantly preferred in journalism and popular usage. Muslim is preferred by scholars and by English-speaking adherents of Islam." No more. Now, almost everybody uses Muslim.

According to the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, "Moslem and Muslim are basically two different spellings for the same word." But the seemingly arbitrary choice of spellings is a sensitive subject for many followers of Islam. Whereas for most English speakers, the two words are synonymous in meaning, the Arabic roots of the two words are very different. A Muslim in Arabic means "one who gives himself to God," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means "one who is evil and unjust" when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.

For others, this spelling differentiation is merely a linguistic matter, with the two spellings a result of variation in transliteration methods. Both Moslem and Muslim are used as nouns. But some writers use Moslem when the word is employed as an adjective.

Journalists switched to Muslim from Moslem in recent years under pressure from Islamic groups. But the use of the word Moslem has not entirely ceased. Established institutions which used the older form of the name have been reluctant to change. The American Moslem Foundation is still the American Moslem Foundation (much as the NAACP is still the NAACP--the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). The journal The Moslem World--published by the Hartford Seminary in Connecticut--is still The Moslem World.

Let's just send Delta Force in there and cap those motherfu***s without taking prisoners. And if we do, then torture the bastards to make them talk. Enough with this soft bullsh** we've developed.

I think the reason why is defining them as Muslims and creating an us against them mentality would just help Al-Qaida recruiting efforts. The problem is Al-Qaida and the fringe Muslim nut cases, not the entire Muslim Religion. If you guys think we can define the entire Muslim world as the enemy and somehow defeat them you are just as twisted as the Muslim terrorists are. The enemy is the fundamentalist nutcases. It was Muslims that prevented the subway bombing in London. The Muslim Father in the DTW case tried to protect us but we screwed up. Our best chance is to continue trying to connect to the vast majority of moderate Muslims and keep supporting them when they try and help us root out the terrorists.

Reading my preveous post you might be surprised, but I agree with this. Send in Special Forces and kill the f$$#rs. They've got the intel that says there is 300 of them in Yemen? How hard can it be to track them down and kill them, That's who we are war with.
You gotta admit if that turd in DTW was the best they got, it can't be to hard to track those types down and just take them out.

Unleash the Seals and all other Special Forces and let them do....WHAT THEY DO BEST!! Enough of this Bull@#$% of letting the Terrorists work OUR Judicial System! Being a Terrorist means....YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS! You are just the lowest piece of crap on the food chain. Wipe em ALL out!!:uzi:

Yeah, ok, buddy. ALL the intelligence to stop this guy was there in the system. The incompetent US government and intelligence agencies couldn't put 2 and 2 together. His father was desperate trying to call the US embassy to try and tell them about his nutjob son. No one listened, and people sat on their asses. Only when an the NWA airliner was almost blown to pieces did the government wake up. The Bush administration wasn't any better.

By the same logic, if I said an "American football team" won the Superbowl, you should be happy with that, too.

Is Al Qaeda muslim? Yes. Are the Cowboys American? Yes.

Which way do you want it?

1) The NFL won the Superbowl; or
2) An Al Qaeda terrorist attacked us.

If you want to be pissed at the president, go for it. Just pick something that matters.

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Foot note: Fort Hood Texas ......another Muslim 39 years old killed 13 people and wounded 30 some odd others... Does this fit the profile!

NOW OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IS TELLING EVERYONE THAT THE YOUNG MUSLIM THAT ATTEMPTED TO BLOW UP A NORTHWEST/DELTA JET AS IT APPROACHED DETROIT ON CHRISTMAS DAY WAS (QUOTE) "AN ISOLATED INCIDENT". YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME OR WHAT!!! MY FATHER USE TO SAY: "PLEASE DON'T WEE WEE ON MY LEG AND TELL ME IT'S RAINING."

 

[SpauldingSmails]

in an email i recieved today:

So what does a Muslim look like? How do you detect Muslims?
Muslim, means a follower of Islam; how do you profile a belief?

A lot of folks aren't necessarily opposed to profiling because its not PC; its because you can't effectively "profile" someone at a security checkpoint by looking at their passport.

If you say, "We're profiling for young middle-eastern looking men", then you just start strapping the bombs to older guys who look Caucasian.

There is no real answer to the problem, other than the powers to be need to cut the red tape and start sharing information. But each agency wants to act like a little lids and keep secerts and have hidden agends at the expense of the people they are trying to protect.
