Several terror attacks on mainland U.S have been thwarted by the good men and women at the FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies. I don't know the detailed list, but one that comes to mind was the plot to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago. So I guess we can summerize that the lack of attacks are due to a huge increase in vigilance by the American people and their intelligence agencies.

Ahh the "terrorist watch list". Includes people like Nelson Mandela (removed July 2 2008), CNN reporter Drew Griffin, Roman Catholic nun, Sister Glenn Anne McPhee, and Cat Stevens. I'm sure that list is a helpful tool in thwarting attacks...

Probably because of what goes on behind the media's lenses.

What we know about the war on terror is what the government has told us so far. Hell, there have been things all throughout history that the government has withheld from the public that are involved with it's warfighting strategy. You think half the crap we know about what went on in the Cold War was available information to the general public?

How many spies do we have in Al Qaeda?
How many informants have infiltrated mosques?
How many terror attacks have been thwarted without us even being told?
What kind of techniques have we truly used to extract information from detainees?
The devil knows what kind of illegal tactics the CIA has used on terrorism suspects.

No one is sure. And it's a pretty good idea for counter-terrorism agents to not leak their warfighting strategies.

We won't know for decades. This is going to be a long war. Al Qaeda ideology is found on every continent with facilitators worldwide and a huge web of those who are sympathetic towards Al Qaeda, but would not actively engage in terrorism.

One of the worst consequences of the war on terror is that if we've been fighting it so effectively and hiding the same strategies we've been using, the public will begin to think that terrorism is simply a huge hoax like so many conspiracy theorists do.

The truth is we just don't know what's been going on behind the scenes.

There have been no attacks since 9/11 my ass.

That's not fitting the kind of terrorism that is being discussed.

It was an isolated incident with some college loser.

People use the word "terrorism" too broadly. But it's not like there is a way to say "Terrorism perpetrated by ideologies similar to those found in Islamic theology or Al Qaeda ideology".

So, what's that you say? We've been doing a good job before we had to give our rights? The terrorists won't win if we don't let the government detain us indefinitely? Well gee, I guess I pissed away my rights for nothing.

The fact of the matter is, everyone knows we had the intelligence to stop 9/11. It's not a matter of how much intelligence we have if we don't have the analysts who can connect it all. There was no conspiracy behind why we didn't act on that intelligence, we just couldn't put it together until it was too late. So, how is it that getting even MORE intelligence is going to help us? We're inundating an already overworked group of analysts. We're hiring more people to gather intelligence and allowing them to get it from more places, but the increase in analysts has been relatively minuscule.

Intelligence agencies were underfunded.

We don't have the thousands of translators we need, more like a few hundred, of them untrustworthy Muslim ones.

You can't stop one crazy ass with nail polish remover and bleach. It's next to impossible to stop those.

So if it isn't a Muslim, its not terrorism? If you don't kill anyone, its not terrorism? The government shouldn't bother stopping people like that?

No why there have been no al Quida attacks on US soil since 9/11? Because they shot themselves sin the foot with 9/11, but now how you think. Their next attack must be bigger and more deadly then 9/11, because if they have to resort to a suicide bomber killing himself on a bus and killing just a few people, they will be losing.

If their next attack is not as spectacular they will look desperate and weaker than they were pre-9/11. Had 9/11 been something less monumental, you probably would have seen other attacks, because they bigger they are the easier they are to stop, since it requires more people, planning, resources etc. Its like if the Japanese had completely successful at Pearl Harbor and followed it up with hammering out a ceasefire with the US.

Good to see somone else who feels the same way I do.
America is less safe then it was just after 9/11 and before, tests done on the bag checking stated they found less than 38% of the fake explosives or maybe lower.

The government isn't doing a good job of covering it up besides the way they can throw people into jail for no reason targeting them as terrorists, normal everyday people who may be protesting them.

Shaggy show me one instance of a normal everyday protester being thrown in jail as a terrorist....JUST ONE!

This thread had nothing to do with 9/11 being a conspiracy, stop using every single thread to spout your ridiculous conspiracy theory and keep it in the proper threads.

The Pentagon has already submitted a rebuttal to that.

There are body language experts that do more work than most of the machines do.

And in case you haven't forgotten, it's the organizations like the ACLU who are the ones hindering national security.

If we utilized ethnic profiling, the chances of a terror attack would be greatly diminished.

It is nice to see interest in 9/11 here. I've read through a lot of these posts and found battling over small things and comments that show no productive topic quality, just posting to post. Isn't it interesting how Fox News has broadcasted the fact that most ingredients for bombs can be found at your local Walmart? It is to instice conflict. The television's programme is the vitamins you need for a disconnected way of thinking. These broadcasts are recorded in your mind and thus effect your life through your subconscious each day. The News in general focuses on destruction, terror, and horrible behavior to feed us what we should eat and then shit out. 9/11 is no different.

The masterminds always kill more than one bird with one stone. The P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act was written a decade before it was put into action, 9/11 was the attack making the country vulnerable enough to be on board with the Act. Inside the World Trade Centers were documents of transactions of billions of dollars worth of stolen money by families such as the Bushes and Clintons. Murdering thousands of people and then broadcasting the event to millions of people might sound like an odd 'bird' to be killed with one stone, but this was a great one for the Dark ones. It has to do with energy. What you focus your thoughts on create the reality you experience. Emotional energy attached to thoughts materalize them easier. Showing that devistating destruction to millions of americans basically feeds this Cabal its energy. This planet is multidimensional, any thought or action that takes place on this 3rd dimensional plane is also effecting other dimensions. If you are not studied in these subjects I am probably losing you with this. And I am no expert on the subject of 9/11, there is far more to discuss that I have not researched. I am just trying to show a perspective to a skeptic of things they may never have considered or thought of before.

Actually, the list isn't relevent, since we're not due another large scale terrorist attack for another 218 years, the amount of time it took for the first one.

I'm not too sure on the war on terror, but I never believe 95% of what I hear on the news and in the media. It's mostly either biased Conservative Fox News, or a biased Liberal source. I'm a Liberal, but can't we get some decent facts in this country?

It's easy to say (in hindsight) that the gov't knew about 9/11 before it happened. No one person saw all the little bits and pieces of info that indicated that Al-qaeda was up to something. Not to mention that info was scattered among numerous gov't agencies (FBI, CIA, ect.) that were not allowed to share info by federal law.
The battles in the war on terror are many. They are scattered around the world. Most are fought in secret for whatever reason. It will be decades before the full history of the war on terror is written and made public.

The world's about to end and here I am, stuck in traffic!

Or they could be keeping a low profile and secretly recruting new members into their ranks. When's the first time we kicked their ass after they handed our's to us on 9/11/01?
