After six guys had planned for over a year to bust into Ft. Dix (NJ), spray the base with automatic gunfire, and kill as many troops as possible, "White House spokesman Tony Snow [said] there is 'no direct evidence' that the men arrested in the Fort Dix plot have ties to international terrorism."
Well, certainly I am no terrorism expert, but isn't that one of the goals of establishing "cells", i.e., having groups of people with the same ideology that are very loosely connected or not connected at all and have "no direct evidence... [of] ties to international terrorism"?
Saw this elsewhere and thought it was insightful.
Well, I don't think there was evidence of direct ties of those troublesome lads who blew up a couple London's trains to "international terrorism" either.
Let's not get blinded or be obtuse just so we are not labeled "alarmist;" there do not have to be direct links for people to be involved in Islamofascist terror of the kind espoused by jihadists all over the world. TX
Indeed.
