Al Qaeda Trying to Change the Look of Terror

(Or is it the Bush Administration/neo-cons are trying to change the way they scare you?)

Group Is Training Europeans, Americans to Use in Attacks, CIA Chief Says

By John Hendren

WASHINGTON, March 30, 2008 - ABC NEWS

The nation’s spymaster said the United States faces an imminent threat of attack from al Qaeda fighters training today along Pakistan’s mountainous frontier with Afghanistan.

And the attackers, he says, will look like many of us.

(This means ANYONE could be a terrorist…even you. Maybe even me, and I don’t even know it. That’s how dangerous Al Qaeda is…)

“…That they are bringing operatives into that region for training, operatives that … wouldn’t attract your attention if they were going through the customs line at Dulles with you when you’re coming back from overseas,” he said…..

(This means don’t travel overseas or you will share a plane with an American-Muslim terrorist…or perhaps it is just insinuating that REAL Americans are not Muslims…or maybe it’s noting that REAL Americans are white, hence, you wouldn’t suspect white people, but it’s okay to suspect brown people?)

….Instead, former senior U.S. officials say, these days they favor blond-haired, blue-eyed recruits….

(This means every remotely liberal, non-neoconservative American, no matter what your ethnicity, is open to being spied on, put under surveillance, or sent to Guantanamo without a lawyer, or “waterboarded”…)

“….And I think the fact that their current rhetoric is much more aggressive and confident, than it had been over the past year or two suggests they have the operatives they want to attack.”

(This means ignore the high gas prices, the looming economic recession/depression, the foreclosed homes, the 4,000 dead Americans in Iraq, the tens of thousands coming home injured, etc…there are bigger problems.)

Wait - I thought “silence” was a danger sign, cause it meant they were about to attack…or was it “lots of chatter”? Or was it videos by Bin Laden that contained “secret messages to operatives that would be transmitted by CNN or Al-Jazeera?” Or maybe it was if we pull the troops out of Iraq…or was it if we stay in Iraq?

Or maybe it was if we eat a meal and go swimming before waiting an hour…
