The Airline Terror Plot

Today brought a stark and chilling reminder of the commitment of radical Islamists to defeat and ultimately destroy Western civilization. Thankfully, the excellent work of British, US and other agencies prevented the jihadists' murderous plot to bomb up to 10 transatlantic airliners in flight from being brought to fruition. According to what's been reported so far, this may well have been Al Qaeda's attempt to outdo the atrocity of 9/11. Regardless, the airline bombing plot shows that, contrary to what ALA's favorite filmmaker has said, there is indeed a terrorist threat.
