1. In this specific instance, I fee that the threat is real and well supported with documentary evidence
2. I concur with TR
3. I commend the current administration for being specific in their information and their concentratrated efforts and attentions
4. If the intel does indeed stem from the capture of the computer engineer then it is indeed a "treasure trove." (Note: the rules exist and they make sense - FOR USERS - that said, admins are log junkies and pack rats (redundancy, redundacy, redundancy!) - the potential here for tracing the from/to lines of communication is incredible.)
I would think the intel groups are ecstatic less for the value of found documents, (although it does certainly appear as if the data is useful in the immediate future,) than for the potential for monitoring comminications henceforth. I know if I was an intel weenie, I'd be thanking the spirits for hitting the motherlode right about now.
The best part of this scenario is that one terrorist out there doesn't read forums or the news and in bound to f***-up. I fully aniticpate that the fragile house of cards will be tumbling hither & thither in the next few months as a result of this.
Wake up call - better pre than post trauma.
p.s. Kerry? It does appear that he is miffed with Dean's comments.
