Know the report well. In fact... I know one of the author' personally. I am a West Point graduate and have a casual association with the CTC.

What in that report do you imagine supports your position? There is certainly within it no claim of Muslims dancing in the streets in new York and New Jersey.

Pakistan already has nukes and has had them for over 25 years. They have many. They have 60 at last count. They are our ally in the war on terrorism and a member of NATO. They are also a nation of virtually 100% muslim.

Did you know that the media was shut down during all of that? Did you know that reporters who had built up relationships with informants, that their informants shut up and would not talk to them? No, you don't know this, because you are not a follower of journalism....

People were scared then to talk, and they are still to scared to talk. They don't know what they can say or what they can not say, that might get them killed.

Propaganda! read the report, Mr, name dropper as if that is to empress me.

If they get nukes it will be a disaster... ultimately worse for them than for us. That's why it is a very good thing that we are working hard to prevent them from getting nukes.

They are still not an existential threat to us.

Given the fact that the last few hundred years has witnessed the implosion of the Islamic empire, I look greatly forward to the even more drastically diminished importance of Islam in the next few hundred years.

No... the monster is not under your bed. Yet you fear it anyway.

Don't particularly care what you think. My arguments stand on their own, regardless of who I know.

Now... if Actonbell can actually make an argument, we'll see who understands this report better.

Your spreading the right kind of propaganda for Al-Qa'ida.

What the hell are you talking about? What media was shut down during all of what?

And no... I am not "a follower of journalism." Mostly because I don't even know what you're trying to say.

Welcome to the human condition. What is your actual point? You are not being very clear. use your words.

I read the report 5 years ago for the first time.

How do you imagine it supports you?
