The one thing I've noticed in all of this though, is a change of attitude about how the Federal government wasn't spending enough DHS dollars to keep the York city safe.

Or, at least, the ones doing the complaining about a week ago , have shut up about it. This is likely the strongest admission of a success at the hands of George W. Bush that you're going to find these days.

[...] Terrorist Plot to Bomb Holland Tunnel UncoveredOutside Beltway - Of course, the stupid wannabes are also the easiest to catch, as seems to be the case with our Sears-Tower paintball squad in Miami. Somehow, I doubt that Mohammed Atta was hangin in chat rooms and expounding on what he was going to do to the WTC [...]

The terror symps have a good thing going. If anyone gets arrested itâ��s propaganda and oppression and if there are any successful attacks itâ��s criminal incompetence. But donâ��t question their patriotism.

I could say something equally stupid:

The right-wing fascists in the US have a good thing going. If there are no attacks, then torture, illegal surveillance programs, and lost civil liberties are working. If there are successful attacks, then we need more torture.

But I won't because it is just silly, and doesn't really advance the debate about keeping the US safe.

'The closer we get to November, the more we will see â??NEWSâ?? stories about â??potentialâ?? terrorist threats. Last week it was the â??Gang That Couldnâ??t Shoot Straightâ?? in Miami. Now New York is announcing a foiled â??terroristâ?? attack on the Holland Tunnel. â??PLOTâ?? FOILED Wow! Homeland Security makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. It is such a relief knowing they are out there working so hard 24/7 â??protectingâ?? us.' The terror symps have a good thing going. If anyone gets arrested it's propaganda and oppression and if there are any successful attacks it's criminal incompetence. But don't question their patriotism.

Iâ??ve driven through the Holland Tunnel more a few times recently. Iâ??ve always wondered how easy it would be do do something like this. Maybe the plotters will turn out to've been inspired by John Updike, who will thus be the next treason indictee. Because it looks like the Daily News is getting a pass. (And what the hell ever happened to "no comment" in response to a news story about sensitive matters? Why can't Peter King shut his mouth?)

Isreal using Lebanon again to pay off for invading Gaza and we can't forget these too:'Jordanian associates of top terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi .'

Holland Tunnel is old as the original 9/11. Maybe we should call up that FSB agent that worked out of the New York FBI field office?

I've driven through the Holland Tunnel more a few times recently. I've always wondered how easy it would be do do something like this. There's a tremendous amount of traffic going through this bottleneck, and it would be relatively easy to do. After 9/11, the Port Authority put police at the entrances to inspect all large vehicles, but I haven't seen any lately at the Holland nor the Lincoln. I hope they are watching nonetheless.

Oh come on now .. just was just a plot to make "America more likable" again. As Christopher Hitchens points out, "The last time everybody said they liked the United States (or said that they said they liked the United States) was just after Sept. 11, when the nation was panicked and traumatized and trying to count its dead." So after the feds put in all those billions into NYC, the least they could do is offer up a few dozen citizens for slaughter so "America more likable" again. Don't get me wrong here, I don't mean anyone important .. just a few "little Eichmanns".
