Quote:And how about that guy they arrested in a "dirty bomb" plot. The guy was in custody A MONTH before the media found out and made a news story out of it.I'm in no way down playing law enforcements efforts. They are working diligently chasing down every lead and busting their ass to protect us.
But the dirty bomber was a public relations ploy by Ashcroft. The media did not stumble across this, Ashcroft called a press confrence in Moscow to announce it. He wanted to take the heat off the FBI due to all the negative press going around about what they didn't do with pre 9/11 intel. If you look at the facts surrounding the dirty bomber, there is little to nothing there. He had travled to Pakistan and met with al-Queda. That is his crime. As to dirty bomb plans, other than some internet research, there is nothing else. This was a thought in it's early stages. It was good that they stopped the thinking/planning before it became something bigger. The problem is there is a dirty bomb already out there somewhere. That's the one they want to find.
