Pearl Harbor Threatened

The Washington Times reports that “Terrorists linked to al Qaeda have targeted U.S. military facilities in Pearl Harbor, including nuclear-powered submarines and ships,” and are “planning an attack on Pearl Harbor because of its symbolic value and because its military facilities are open from the air.” I suppose nothing should surprise me these days, but this is just despicable.

A related story that is at least as disturbing is the discovery of tapes surveilling the World Trade Center and other landmarks as long ago as 1997, allegedly in preparation for attacks. I’ve refrained from posting paranoid, speculative stories on terrorism, but these two were especially poignant and just plain scary.
