i just really hope they find out who did this soon, by the way they reported that Bin Laden is on the move (kind of suspicious if you ask me)

No more or less than any other human being I've seen. If you can tell if a man is civilized by simply seeing him, then you have some amazing psychic gifts.

Some tidbits from Newsmax.com:With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff
For the story behind the story...

Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001 4:51 p.m. EDT
CIA Linking Arab States to Attack

A CIA source tells NewsMax that there are only a handful of countries that could have been involved in the devastating attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon Tuesday.

Experts already believe that terrorists commandeered the jet aircraft that slammed into the Twin Towers and other targets.

Believing no U.S. pilot would do this, the belief is that the pilots were killed and qualified terrorist/pilots were used.

So far, planes used in the attacks were Boeing 767 and 757 models.

According to our source, the list of possible training sites, with simulators, are very few in the Islamic world.

The following countries or airlines have simulators capable of training pilots for such planes: Ethiopian Air, EgyptAir, Gulf Air, Turkmenistan Air, Azerbaijan Air, Kenya Air, and the Saudi Airlines. There may be others, but this information may help narrow the list of suspects.

OMG CNN is scrolling the names and ages of the victims...

And I just saw the name of a 2 year old girl scroll by...

A lot of these folks are my (our) age 20s-30s. I am SO enraged. I hope we take significant, powerful, and relentless retailiation so that these animals will never think of attacking us again.

Even if Bin Ladin didn't cause this, he should still be killed. Keep in mind that he was linked to both the '93 WTC attack and the embassy bombings.

I wholeheartedly agree. And I think this is a wake-up call for us to start thinking about trying to eradicate all terrorists and levy serious damage to harboring countries.

Don't forget the USS Cole as well.

Right now they're in the process of searching The Westin Hotel in Boston. CNBC said something about a stretcher being brought in.

It was the Boston Herald that was reporting the stuff about the car found at Logan Airport and the terrorists coming down from Canada, not the Boston Globe. Also, it's not suspicious for Bin Laden to be on the move. According to the FBI, he moves at least 3 times a week within Afghanistan.

I don't think anyone will ever board an airplane in the next 20 years without remembering this incident. My dad said he'll never go in a high-rise building again.

Yeah...that's the American way, kill without a trial. *lame* Then we're just as bad as the terrorists, we just have a government to pull the trigger so it doesn't weigh so heavily on our conscience. Think before speak please.

No need to focus on the Middle East. I was watching CNN today and one guy said that these aircrafts are relativeley easy to fly and their cockpit controls are all identical to other Boeing planes. He said he was in a simulator last week and he, who is not a pilot, was able to do k on the simulator. He also said that anyone with military flying experience could fly them easily. Don't forget that the US has plenty of flight simulators. Let's stop trying to be detectives and point the finger when we don't know sh*t.

Don't know how many of you had heard the whole story about the plane that crashed near Pittsburgh. Apparently, 3 of the passengers had the balls to go after the terrorists, and overpower them... Not sure what all happened, guess we'll have to wait and see, but it sounds like that is the reason it crashed in the middle of nowhere rather then at the eventual target... The article said that they overcame the terrorists, but then couldn't control the plane though nothing is definite yet. I think a lot has to be said for them for risking their own lives to try and prevent the tragedy from growing even larger, makes me feel proud to say I'm a fellow American. Imagine if they had been totally successful? Would've been better then any movie... Here's the whole story...

http://www.msnbc.com/news/627214_asp.htm

On a lighter side, last night I was talking with my wife, and we had the front door open and BOOOOMMMMMM... heard some of the loudest thunder I've ever heard. My wife and I looked at each other and I could tell we were both thinking the same thing (Oh SH*T). Kinda scary that thunder got me nervous.

My prayers go out to all the missing. We just found out that my wife's cousin who works in the Pentagon is dead, and they are planning a memorial... Sucks....

I'm NOT for going after people just because they're Arabic, or anything else. I feel sorry for the Arabic people in this country right now, because I feel that there are many people in America that will automatically blame them for the recent events, and treat them unjustly.

I do think that being a terrorist should be against the law, whether or not you can be linked to specific crimes. Bin Laden may not be responsible for the latest crimes, but if he is an admitted terrorist then I think that he should be prosecuted for that alone.

I think the world in general needs to be tough on terrorism. These latest events brought it home to Americans, but terrorism goes on throughout the world almost every day. I'm hoping that something good can come out of this horrible catastrophe, and that would be the world decides that enough is enough, and attempts to put an end to all terrorism, world wide. I think there is something wrong with someone being a terrorist, whether or not they have done something to my country in particular, that's part of being a part of the global community. Together, the world can hopefully end terrorism, well, an end I think is too optimistic, but hopefully reduce it enough to the point that when you turn the tv on every day you here about some terrorist attack somewhere in the world.

Does anyone have any idea why people would be celebrating here in the US (I'm referring to the Detroit/Brooklyn people). If they think that America is such a horrible country, and are happy to see thousands of innocent people murdered, then why do they live here?!?!?!?! I just don't get it...

that's totally true, no one should do that, unless they are out partying in the street, if they are kill them on the spot, but random attacks will not help anyone.

By the way the three people who were caught are Arabic
