"There is no terrorist threat! Yes, there have been horrific acts of terrorism, and yes, there will be acts of terrorism again. But that does not mean that there is some massive terrorist threat."
The audience applauded this icon of Liberalism (a multi-millionaire who send his kid to private school and characterized by his co-workers as "money-obsessed") and took his so-called conclusions at face value. But what is the real value of Mr. Moore's "expert" conclusions?
Unbeknown to the "Big Fat Stupid" Moore and without much fanfare, America's terror fighters are thwarting dozens of homegrown plots aimed at domestic targets. Here's a list of them (since September 11, 2001):
• December 2001:Richard Reid, British citizen attempted to ignite shoe bomb on flight from Paris to Miami.
• May 2002: Jose Padilla, American citizen accused of seeking "dirty bomb," convicted of conspiracy.• September 2002: American citizens of Yemeni origin convicted of supporting Al Qaeda. Five of six were from Lackawanna, N.Y.
• May 2003: Iyman Faris, American citizen charged with trying to topple the Brooklyn Bridge.• June 2003: Eleven men from Alexandria, Va., trained for jihad against American soldiers, convicted of violating the Neutrality Act and conspiracy.
• August 2004: Dhiren Barot, Indian-born leader of terror cell plotted bombings on financial centers.• August 2004: James Elshafay and Shahawar Matin Siraj sought to plant bomb at New York's Penn Station during the Republican National Convention.
• August 2004: Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain plotted to assassinate a Pakistani diplomat on American soil.• June 2005: Umer Hayat and Hamid Hayat - Son convicted of attending terrorist training camp in Pakistan; father convicted of customs violation.
• August 2005: Kevin James, Levar Haley Washington, Gregory Vernon Patterson and Hammad Riaz Samana, Los Angeles homegrown terrorists who plotted to attack National Guard, LAX, two synagogues and Israeli consulate.
• December 2005: Michael Reynolds, plotted to blow up refinery in Wyoming, convicted of providing material support to terrorists.
• February 2006: Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Marwan Othman El-Hindi and Zand Wassim Mazloum accused of providing material support to terrorists, making bombs for use in Iraq.
• April 2006: Syed Haris Ahmed and Ehsanul Islam Sadequee videotaped the Capitol and World Bank for a terrorist organization.• June 2006: Narseal Batiste, Patrick Abraham, Stanley Grant Phanor, Naudimar Herrera, Burson Augustin, Lyglenson Lemorin, and Rotschild Augstine accused of plotting to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago.
• July 2006: Assem Hammoud accused of plotting to hit New York City train tunnels.• August 2006: Thwarted plot to explode ten airliners over the United States using explosive liquid.
• May 2007: Six men accused of plotting to attack Fort Dix Army base in New Jersey.
• June 2007: Four men accused of plotting to blow up fuel arteries underneath JFK Airport in New York.
And these are only the cases which have been made public so far....Remember, the terrorists have to be successful only once!
Michael Moore may have released his latest movie - "Sicko" - but the intended audience should be primarily his Liberal cohort on crazies....They really need some medical attention.
