#1 Aside from burying a major international story that took place in its metro area, the Newspaper of Record took pains to make the Muslim battle plan that could have atomized a portion of its immediate readership appear utterly irrelevant.

Let us all hope that "readership" suddenly changes its printed news source.

As Srdja Trifkovic so eloquently states:

The elite class has every intention of continuing to fight the war on terrorism without naming the enemy, without revealing his beliefs, without unmasking his intentions, without offending his accomplices, without expelling his fifth columnists, and without ever daring to win. Their crime can and must be stopped. The founders of the United States overthrew the colonial government for offenses far lighter than those of which the traitor class is guilty.

#2 See, it's a problem of semantics. They wanted to blowup "Queens". Now change that to they wanted to blow up "queens", and, jeeesuz, page one above the fold and why isn't Bush doing anything about these hate mongers!!!

#3 To a small degree I actually agree with the NYT. This plot was not going to achieve anything close to its objectives, even if everything they planned worked. Jet fuel is not explosive, the pipelines do have check valves, and contain only modest volumes of fuel, pipelines fail or are blown up every week (day?) and repairs are normally pretty quick. Tanker trucks can, at some cost and inconvenience, replace the pipelines for a while.
It's nothing to ignore, and I'm glad they caught this plan, but it's not the end of 'America as we know it.' We keep defusing these second-rate plots by second-rate terrorists; I AM concerned that they are merely diversions, and that there is a 'first team' plot in the works (N-B-C?).

#4 Glenmore, while your points are entirely valid, they still do not address the deep commitment to limitless savagery that is exhibited by so many Muslims. Whether it is actively achieving or seeking the further deaths of more thousands of New Yorkers, wanting to chop off the heads of simple cartoonists or demanding the Pope be executed for quoting a scholar about Islam, all of it points to a prediliction for violence that poses a genuine threat to civilization. This intent remains notwithstanding how ill-planned or ham fistedly executed any eventual terrorist plots actually may be.

In the final analysis, Islam's intent must be considered along with its actual results. While technology continues to limit Islam's results, its true intent remains as an incredibly vicious and horrific assault upon this entire planet's non-Muslim population.

It is this hideously longed-for carnage on such an unbelievable scale that singles out Islam as an utterly retrograde and monstrous creed. That Islamic doctrine is the only political ideology to voluntarily adopt global terrorism as an accepted tool of advancing their agenda makes Muslims everywhere complicit in this assault upon civilization.

As the old saying goes, "It's the thought that counts." The thoughts that pass for Islamic faith and religious dedication are totally revolting to any sane human being. Lack of current success in no way exculpates Islam regarding its sworn goal of global domination.
