Bin Laden Threatens Mumbai-Style Terrorist Attacks on Europe

Okay, update to my previous post, "Two British Brothers 'At Heart' of al-Qaeda Plot to Launch Mumbai-Style Terrorist Attacks on the West."

At Fox News, "
U.S. Officials: Bin Laden Believed to Be Involved in European Plot":

Senior Al Qaeda leaders, including Usama Bin Laden, are believed to be behind efforts to mount a Mumbai-style attack on Westerners in European cities, a senior U.S. intelligence official told Fox News, though it's not clear how deeply involved Bin Laden was in the plot.

The news comes on the same day that Bin Laden released an audio recording in which he depicts the Pakistani government as uncaring and calls for the creation of a new relief organization to help Muslims after this summer's devastating floods.

The emerging details of the European plot point to coordinated shooting sprees or attacks and kidnappings in Britain, France and Germany -- tactics much favored by Al Qaeda. The plot was moving forward with dual national citizens, who had Pakistani and European passports, the official told Fox News, adding that Western officials intended to disrupt the plot by publicly exposing it.

Another senior U.S. official told Fox News that there is "some evidence within the intelligence community that Bid Laden was involved in plotting this foiled attack."

Off to a Good Start at the New Reb

We're off to a great start at the NEW Washington Rebel location, thanks to all our friends here at the Theo Spark family. It's very much appreciated, and it's no exaggeration to say I owe my start in the blogging Biz to our Uncle Theo. Also, a special thanks to our friends at Maggie's Farm, Mind Numbed Robot, The Daily Gator, and the Camp of the Saints,
for drving traffic our way. You've kept us going!

Virgil posted on this morning, Things Fall Apart; and our friend TL from Tea Party News posted one this week, Severing the Manly Parts, that got play at Sipsey Street Irregulars and Western Rifle Shooters Association. TL is stoked!

Colonel B. Bunny's Neo-Communism took off like a house afire. He wasn't sure why it did, but we're not complaining!

And let me direct your attention to my own article, published over at the spankin' new RightNetWork called Tough Lives. I hope you'll go pay our friend Vanderleun a visit.

Tyler Clementi: ‘Hate Crimes’ and the ‘Gay Morality’ Debate

I've got a long post on this: "Tyler Clementi's Online Postings — Plus, Some Perspective on the 'Hate Crimes' and 'Gay Morality' Debate."

I'm a bit upset by the indifference by some on the right, and by the hatred among some others. There's a deep humanity in this case that's not fitting neatly into the ideological divides. Senseless and sad all around.

VBS TV: Detroit Lives VBS Part 3 of 3

Young Detroit entrepreneur Phil Cooley and Johnny Knoxville evade security and sneak into the abandoned Fisher Body Plant, though we’re wondering why Cooley has to sneak anywhere since every surface he touches becomes instantaneously renovated.

Then Johnny heads over to the spacious building-studios of some of Detroit’s best designers and artists. Get that brain ready for some good ol’ fashioned rationalizing. You’re right, yeah, you don’t need or want that kind of space. No, I totally get it, you can’t make real art unless you’re cramped and unhappy. Stay in New York.

To The Polls! [the Chicago way].....from Rico

Yes, we can look all forward to more of "the Chicago way" soon, just on a national level thanks to the DNC, ACORN, et al [read "organized crime" aka rampant voter fraud].
- Chicago always was a miraculous place....where even the dead can vote...but now we have ACORN registering Minnie Mouse and ilk, while the DNC encourages the similar 'miracle' of voting felons and non-citizens!

Soon Obamatrons will be out in force, helping their key constituencies to the polls…
