#1 BOO! Let's scare the rednecks some and make sure they vote Republican--God knows East Tennessee is the linchpin of the American economy! But I bet they get just as much $$ for "Homeland Security" as those minor cities like NY, Boston and Chicago!

#4 Al Qaeda's first decree in the Islamic Republic of East Tennessee will be that all alcohol is prohibited.

#7 I'm a redneck and I ain't skeered!

I do wonder how much recruitment can go on at UT. What's the Arab pop there? .01% maybe. Plus, Arabs would stick out like a sore thumb, unless they got some way to recruit the local blacks or disenfranchised white youth's like that moron Anderson from WA. I don't forsee too many young blacks going that way w/all the strong Baptist background in the region unless they're in the penal system.

#8 hey NMM -- is it even conceivable to you that perhaps the FBI is telling the truth and there really is a group there? I know, I know, you think that there's some sort of Republican conspiracy at play here, and facts won't dissuade you from your belief.

By the way, as NYC's mayor just pointed out, the Homeland Security budget is allocated based on the degree of threat and vulnerability. So, I know it's disappointing for you to read, but in fact NYC gets appreciably more than East Tennessee. And as a Manhattanite, I'm very glad it's that way.

#9 If they're here in E T at all, they are probably either students or professors at U T.

#10 NMM forgets (or more likely, never bothered to learn) that there was a senior al'Qaeda operative arrested in Peoria.

Hell, anyone remember where Steve Emerson first ran into jihadis in the US? Oklahoma City.

#11 NMM, I suppose you are too dense to know that there is a major Dept. of Energy facility in Eastern TN as well as 2 or 3 civilian nuclear power plants. It is a logical place for enemies to locate themselves.

#12 Remote Man... you're right NMM is not that familiar with the US outside of his hometown, 3 large cities (he visits) and Raleigh (which he hates).
