An American Mass Transit Attack
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 10:31AM See my previous posts A Terror Plot Busted(?) In NYC? and More Terrorist Attack Data for NYC - Sept 14th, 2009.
Three terrorists have been arrested for LYING to the Feds. I was just wondering what is so illegal about LYING to the feds but that's just me. Anyway, today we have the following posts up:

The FBI is looking for 12 other people...I mean terrorists.
