"Authorities said Saturday that they had broken up an alleged terrorist plot to bomb aviation fuel tanks and pipelines at John F. Kennedy International Airport, arresting a former airport worker and two other men with links to Islamic extremists in South America and the Caribbean".-Washington Post
Well that's the good news.
"The plot did not get beyond the planning stages and had no apparent direct links to al-Qaeda or other Middle Eastern terrorist groups, according to officials and documents released Saturday."
That's the bad news because it appears we have more people that want to harm the U.S. than we thought. It would be curious to see how these guys got into the U.S. and it looks like only one of them was a "legal" U.S. resident. The other bad news is these guys were not only insiode the country but, working at the airport but, President Bush would say "they were doing the job that Americans don't want to do".

How does this alleged planned terrorist attack on JFK square with the Iraq policy: we must continue to fight them over there or they will follow us home?" Sounds like we need to start thinking about attacking other havens of terrorism in this hemisphere, including perhaps even cities in the U.S.
I agree and granting amnesty to 12 million people who were smart enough to break into our country and evade our laws is not going to make us secure. It will just allow the terrorists amoung them to get jobs leagally in other airports or high risk targets within the U.S.
If the the Senate Amnesty bill for illegals had already been passed these giuys would not even have been on the radar.
