Terrorist Plot on LA Skyscraper
Just released in detail to the public, Al-Queda terrorists had planned to crash a plane into the US Bank skyscraper (tallest on the west coast at 73 stories). They gave detailed info how they were going to break into the cockpiut with shoe bombs. I remember having to remove our shoes at the security checkpoint when we went on a trip back in late 2003.
This is all just a plan by Bush to gain support for his wire tapping scandal. Even though, we should be allowed to know what is happening and not find out years later.

Re: Terrorist Plot on LA Skyscraper
Rob, I like conspiracy theories too, but I don't buy them all. So you're saying that the story was invented to boost support for Bush? Perhaps collaborated with this one? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/4630054.stm
Sorry, but I'm reluctant on buying that.

You don't need to buy it, it is sufficient if you are willing to rent it for a few months. After that, you can forget about it, because we'll be on to something new.

Re: Terrorist Plot on LA Skyscraper
No, I'm saying that they only felt they needed to release the info in order to gain support for Bush wire-tapping phones. Since it was foiled 2 years ago why didnt they tell us right after the fact?

I think you need to get your bs propaganda straight. The left wing slant is that it's released now to garner support for extending the patriot act. Bush doesn't need support for the wire tapping. Even your buddy Slick Willy did that.

Bush officially needs a FISA permission to tap conversations where at least one end of the line is in America. He does not need any permission to tap conversations abroad and is even aided by intelligence agencies from friendly nations(such as France ). The CIA can intercept a phonecall between me and a friend without asking anyone including local authorities. That makes it a non-issue to me, if they can tap me, they can tap you.Bill Clinton, much reveared by demotivator

Re: Terrorist Plot on LA Skyscraper
Got it. 
Sure, let build a very tall building in Chicago so bin laden can have another good target. Let provoke him to attack us by building taller buildings in all our major cities. He will have a field day trying to decide which building to attack.

Re: Terrorist Plot on LA Skyscraper
The funny thing was Trump lambasted the Fordham Spire citing any tenant would be crazy to occupy one of the tallest buildings (terrorist target potential) - even though his tower will be the third tallest in Chicago once its completed - funny Yorker.
Developer Donald Trump, who is constructing a 92-floor, 1,360-foot skyscraper in Chicago for luxury condominium buyers, said Carley's proposed building would not be economically viable in the post-September 11 climate.
"Nobody is going to want to live in a building that's a target," he told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Carley countered that his skyscraper is in the same league as Trump's.
"I wonder where the insanity limit is. It must be just over 1,360 feet," he said, referring to Trump's building.
