I just heard about this on the radio. Scary stuff. Try not to be too nervous, at least until more details come out. Easier said than done, I know. They just said (as I was typing this) on the radio that it was stopped in the planning stages. If that's correct, it doesn't seem like you would be in any immediate danger. I don't blame you for being upset and scared. Are you on the base itself?

i understand why you're afraid, but they caught them and we'll be on increased alert for a while. What really torqued my jaws was these statements from the news:
While authorities are glad to have arrested them, the individuals are "hardly hard core terrorists," one law enforcement source said.
Another source said that while the allegations are "troubling," they are "notthetypethatmadethehaironthebackofyourneckstandup."
obviously, that isnt the case for the folks who were potential targets of these folks. CNN also reports that several of these perpetrators were living in the US illegally. wow. THAT'S what scary to me...

Huh ... thank God for stupid terrorists. They took their training video to a store to have it converted to DVD?
Also, no matter how well the one guy knew the place, I'd think Ft. Dix is a pretty hard target. Still, they probably could have cause some harm before they got themselves killed.

I saw a little bit of this on CNN at work. Thank God that people are being vigilant. I have to agree with x-y-no comments about their lack of brain cells. LOL!
That is VERY, VERY scary.

Smart Idea, walk into a MILLITARY BASE and start shooting
they would've been shooting for all of 5 seconds before they had hundreds of bullet holes in them.
