Just another example in an article from the AP which supports the Presidents view that we must remain vigilant against those who would do us harm.

4 charged in JFK Airport terror plot

NEW YORK - Four Muslim men were foiled from carrying out a plot to destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport, kill thousands of people and trigger an economic catastrophe by blowing up a jet fuel artery that runs through populous residential neighborhoods, authorities said Saturday.

Three men were arrested and one was being sought in Trinidad on Saturday. In an indictment charging the four men, one of them is quoted as saying the plot would “cause greater destruction than in the Sept. 11 attacks.”

One of the suspects, Russell Defreitas, a U.S. citizen native to Guyana and retired JFK employee, said the airport was a symbol that would put “the whole country in mourning.”

“It’s like you can kill the man twice,” said Defreitas, 63, who first hatched his plan more than a decade ago when he worked as a cargo handler for a service company, according to the indictment.

The plot never got past the planning stages, authorities said.

My hat is off to those investigating agencies who foiled this plot and many others. Much like the US military many of these individuals at the CIA, FBI and Homeland Security risk their lives so we may continue daily with ours.

For those who believe there is a “right to know” and that leaks to the media are a positive thing, please take the time to read the whole story..I hope it leaves you with a different opinion of how we must conduct this “war” against a faceless enemy.
