#1 A few little corkers from the article:

In 1995, the Shukrijumah family relocated to Miramar, Fla., where Gulshair became the spiritual leader of the radical Masjid al Hijah Mosque and imam of the [BRIC] Boca Raton Islamic Center. Adnan became friends there with such wannabe terrorists: as Jose Padilla, who planned to detonate a radiological bomb in midtown Manhattan; Imran Mandhai, who was convicted of attempting to blow up nuclear power plants in southern Florida; Moessa Shuyeb Jokham, who was arrested for plotting to blow up Jewish community centers and businesses; and a group of other home-grown terrorists.

We need to shit that BRIC. More importantly, keep your eye on Gulshair, Adnan's father.

In May, 2001, he headed off to Trinidad, where his father Gulshair had worked as an official for the Saudi Arabian government.

In what capacity was Gulshair serving Saudi Arabia? This needs some strong follow-up.

From Trinidad, he trekked to Tobago and Guyana. He managed to amass passports from Guyana, Trinidad, Saudi Arabia, Canada and the United States and began to adopt a number of aliases, including Abu Arifi, Jafar al-Tayyar, Jaafar at-Yayyar, Ja'far al-Tayar, and Mohammed Sher Mohammed Khan (the name that appeared on his official FBI file). Adnan also found time, according to Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, to take part in the 9/11 attacks as a"fixer," that is, a behind-the-scenes operative who helped with the plans for hijacking the aircraft.

This little f&ck has had his fingers in a lot of important pies. He needs to get burned.

After days of interrogation, coupled with severe sleep deprivation, Mohammed told U.S. officials that bin Laden was planning to create a "nuclear hell storm" in America. Unlike other attacks, the terrorist chief said, the chain of command for the nuclear attack answered directly to bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, and a mysterious scientist called "Dr. X." Mohammed later admitted that "Dr. X" was Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani father of the Islamic bomb and the godfather of modern nuclear proliferation. He further confessed that the field commander for this operation was a naturalized American citizen whom he also referred to as Mohammed Sher Mohammed Khan and "Jafer al Tayyar" ("Jafer the Pilot"). Both names are aliases of Adnan el Shukrijumah.

If all of this can be verified and Shukrijumah somehow manages to carry out even a failed nuclear terrorist attack on America, we need to make Pakistan glow in the dark. Extract Khan and their nuclear weapons first, if that is of importance, but make the place into India's high capacity overflow parking lot. As usual, Saudi Arabia plays a part in this treachery, too. If there is a successful terrorist nuclear attack against America, we need to appropriate all Saudi oil facilities (per .com's plan) plus hold Mecca and Medina hostage under threat of demolition if further attacks occur.

To this day, I still advocate the taking control of Islam's holy shrines as a deterrent measure and lever to force reformation of their religion. No reform, no haj. Any biological attacks gets the shrines dusted with the same agent. Any radiological attacks result in a dusting with the same isotope. Any chemical attacks get the places gassed, too. The first ensuing nuclear terrorist attack gets Medina glassed over and the next one shifts Mecca into carpark mode.

#2 Not to sound like a big wimp here, but I find all this Adnan El Shukrijumah stuff incredibly unsettling. I realize there's been very little mention of all this in MSM and that it's based on quite a bit of speculation. Nonetheless I don't put it past AQ and OBL.

The truth is that for as terrible as 9/11 was for the entire country, it was little more than the bad bruise on the body that is the USA. We not only survived it but we have continued to thrive since then. And despite all their puffery and saber-rattling, this fact is not lost on the AQ leadership.

Which brings me to my point that they want to see us in real pain. They want to see us brought to our knees and kept there for some time. They want us to stumble hard. As OBL has said himself, they want "4 million" American deaths to even the score. It's not a stretch to suggest that in the eyes of AQ, the only possible way to achieve that goal in a realistic timeframe is via a simultaneous nuclear attack on a handful of major US metro areas, at the least.

I feel like I sound alarmist and paranoid right now, to the extend of sounding like a conspiracy theorist. So if anyone can talk some sense into me, not only would I be sincerely appreciative, but I would sleep a lot better at night.
