FoxNews reported:
U.S. counterterrorism officials stressed that there was no reason for Americans to believe plotters or others connected with the terror scenario were in the country. Still, the FBI has so far assigned an estimated 200 investigators to track down potential links.
Why keep 200 investigators running down leads if there is no connection? Here is why:
Two other U.S. counterterrorism officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation, said the British suspects placed calls to several cities in the United States before their arrests. At least some of the calls were placed to people in New York, Washington, Chicago and Detroit, one official said. The suspects are all British citizens, mostly men in the 20s and 30s of Pakistani descent.
Yet do not expect the New York Times to report the surveillance of calls between the United States and foreign countries assisted Scotland Yard’s disruption of the latest terrorist plot. Nearly sixty hours have passed since Time Magazine first reported that and, so far, not once have they mentioned it.
Author’s note: Some might mistakenly think I’m happy that someone leaked to the press that the US intercepted communications. My point here is to point out that US officials are prematurely saying no one here was involved in the plot, two major media sources (Time and FoxNews) say the US intercepted communications into the US from those involved in the plot, and the NY Times is intentionally not reporting the latter. The blood in the mouths of the NY Times’ editors must be getting deep as they bite their tongues and refrain from reporting another incident of “illegal domestic surveillance.” It is obvious the program helped save thousands of lives and the Times does not want to report that.

You are right, Tim. These NYT editors would rather chew their own tongues off than to give the Bush Administration any sort of credit for having staved off another terrorist attack.
I say the hell with them. They know that they are losing power, losing readership, losing their credibility among the American electorate.
And they know that avatars of Conservatism like Mark Levin are gaining- Mark is adding about ten stations a month! And the NYT is pinching pennies on newsprint (physically making the newspaper smaller- cutting it down to size!).
I say the hell with them…

The rights of those freedom-fighters have been violated! How dare Bush listen in on their phone calls!
They should be flown to the US immediately (at taxpayer expense) and released on their own recognisance!
Their religious freedoms should not be restricted. They must be allowed to kill the infidels as their religion demands!
We are the French Democrat Party, and we approved this message.

LOL ff4B! That made me laugh. It’s good to keep our sense of humor alive amongst all of this par for the course, SOS, MSM bias.
In addition, it’s my opinion that “officials” are almost always too premature in declaring that various news items have “no connection” to terrorism. We’re to believe that these are all just isolated incidents, and we should not concern ourselves with connecting the dots.
I think those days are long gone. We can no longer afford the luxury of not connecting the dots. And if we come down on the side of caution, and become a little paranoid in the process, too bad. Better safe than sorry.

I have connected a lot of the dots, and they spell out: NEW YORK SLIMES!
