Reply #23: I admit to being skeptical

Especially considering that it's the U.S.'s closest (possibly only) ally that "thwarted" the plot. On the other hand, there seems to be a lot more concrete evidence than previous vague terror alerts. On the OTHER hand (if you're an octopus, maybe) whatever happened to those guys who were arrested in FL (another close Bush connection) who were accused of planning to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago (which is where I live). There was a 24-hour news frenzy about it, including reports that the guys who were arrested didn't ACTUALLY have a plan; they were just talkin', then nothin'.

To sum up, I don't trust the MSM OR the govt as far as I can throw 'em.
