I'm thankful this holiday season that it appears that U.S. and allied intelligence agencies have succeeded in thwarting terrorist attacks. For once the high state of alert and warnings seemed to be about specific threats, not vague possibilities. Actual flights targeted and cancelled based on hard intelligence.
Impressive.
Some thoughts:
- While the TV media continues to downplay the intelligence value of capturing Sadaam, it seems that the U.S. military in Iraq has rolled up some key cell leaders in the resistance and that will probably snowball as they start talking.
- Likewise in Libya, where Ghadaffi (?) has been giving up the weapons and secrets. Interesting story on World Net Daily today about the tour the Libyans have given of their secret weapons plants and tales of the bio-chem weapons they sold Al-Qeida. In the thousands.
- If you surf the internet news sites this week there are lots of troubling tales of imminent terrorist strikes. I'm hopeful that the intelligence successes continue and the strikes are thwarted.
- Will they catch the pilot of the Air France Flight that was cancelled who was a no-show. Capture him and the whole network goes down with him.
