NYPD warns of homegrown terrorism threat

[liberal N proud]

NEW YORK - Average citizens who quietly band together and adopt radical ways pose a mounting threat to American security that could exceed that of established terrorist groups like al-Qaida, a new police analysis has concluded.

The New York Police Department report released Wednesday describes a process in which young men — often legal immigrants from the Middle East who are frustrated with their lives in their adopted country — adopt a philosophy that puts them on a path to violence.

The report was intended to explain how people become radicalized rather than to lay out specific strategies for thwarting terror plots. It calls for more intelligence gathering, and argues that local law enforcement agencies are in the best position to monitor potential terrorists.

My take on this, They are setting this scenario up so they can deal with any citizen uprising against the bu$h regime once they declare marital law. Call me crazy but everything that has been happening leads further down that fascist path.

I swear these people are subtle. "You gather for the purposes of disagreeing with us, and we'll call you a terror cell and send you off to Gitmo"

They must have something in mind soon that will really piss us off, because I see more and more stuff about how we are the enemy, and that we need to be watched.

Freedom is a privilege, and you aren't one of the privileged!
