This info should be kept under wraps, because it will give the terrorists insight on how the intell was obtained, unfortunately the Dems and some less than honorable Republicans see this as political hay.
 Remember a Middle Eastern religion has declared war on the USA. |

The building is also known as Library Tower due to its proximity to the Los Angeles Central Library; it was built as part of the $1 billion redevelopment of the Library following two disastrous fires in 1986. The building was also known for a time as First Interstate World Center after being bought by First Interstate Bank. After First Interstate merged with Wells Fargo Bank the name Library Tower was restored. In March 2003 the property was bought by U.S. Bancorp and the building was renamed U.S. Bank Tower. Residents, however, continue to refer to it as Library Tower and are unlikely to stop doing so. (from wikipedia

the kali tower thing supposedly was squeeze out of kalid shake mohamid. although i suspect some of the things he is talking about were partially from phone intercepts. dont chalk this up to phone intercepts.. chalk it up to 'torture'... |

I can see that building from the roof of my apartment building.
And I bet it's 100% BS that AQ was targetting that building. I want to see the evidence. There are other buildings that are much more significant in LA. I want to see the proof for myself. |

You're right, I can't see why anyone would target that building. It's only the tallest building in the U.S. west of the Mississippi River and the west coast HQ of one of the largest banks in the country. Completely insignificant.

The guy who heads the liberal blog dailykos.com was sneering at Karl Rove's speech saying the GOP should focus on national defense for the 2006 elections. The blogger Kos called Republicans "bed-wetting cowards" for shrieking like little girls at the bogeyman of terrorism. Liberals, he counselled, should show voters they are the truly courageous party.........by utterly ignoring terrorism and national defense
 It's like Karl Rove picks these people or feeds them talking points. |

It doesn't matter. Bush will not gain any kind of support for foiling an attack, and his wiretapping will continue to be criticized. Only when there is an attack will the public want to get behind someone.
They're very reactionary, to hell with being proactive. |

I would say "boot-licking cowards" myself. Boot-licking cowards that hate freedom. This weekend I saw an old White grandmother at an airport have the bun of her hair searched for bombs by a heroic security guard that was guarding my "freedom." She was made to stand in a plexiglass box and was searched in full view of all present just to make sure she wasn't carrying a box cutter or something. The woman was easily in her 80's. After this, she made her way to the window separating her from her son and grandson, and proceeded to make faces at her grandson, who laughed. This is who is searched at the airport, and I am disgusted with those who think this is freedom. You have no courage. |

Bush will be blame no matter what happens. He will get blamed if an attack was successful, or he will get blame for wire tapping. "Some people" want it both ways, but that is not going happen not under GWB Jr's watch. These people are going to look pretty silly, same as the vote in the House on whether to support the war in Iraq. But most sheeple will be unable to distinguish that this as election year rhetoric.

This be it.
 More of the tower here: Library Tower Washington Post Friday, October 7, 2005 The United States and its allies have thwarted at least 10 serious al Qaeda terrorist plots since Sept. 11, 2001, including never-before-disclosed plans to use hijacked commercial airliners to attack the East and West coasts in 2002 and 2003, President Bush and his aides said yesterday. The reported plots aimed to strike a wide variety of targets, including the Library Tower in Los Angeles, ships in international waters and a tourist site overseas, the White House said last night. Three of the 10 were directed at U.S. soil, officials said. The government, they added, also stopped five al Qaeda efforts to case possible targets or infiltrate operatives into the country. Two sources familiar with intelligence information said the West Coast plot targeted the tallest building in Los Angeles, since renamed the US Bank Tower, and involved Malaysian militants and Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, who was captured in 2003. Previous reports on Mohammed's interrogations in custody said that before Sept. 11 he mapped out an attack on the tower that was later aborted. |

It doesn't matter anyway. Its only a matter of time before the Elysian Park fault cracks wide fucking open in a 9.0 quake, the San Andreas slip strikes about 20 meters in massive shaker and that building plus most of the rest of downtown LA falls into a dusty, flaming heap of rubble.
Disaster experts estimate that WHEN...not IF an 8.0 or bigger quake strikes the area, 30k people will be dead in the first five minutes.

This plan was foiled almost 4 years ago. I'm quite sure the only reason we're hearing about it now is to hopefully quell some of the idiotic outrage about the wiretapping (you only have to worry if known terrorists are calling you or vice versa) and let people know that they've been doing their due diligence and maybe the Rainbow of Fear has a purpose and a place... It's political, sure, but it's also a good idea to let people know that they've been working behind the scenes to prevent more attacks. |

Somehow, I seriously doubt that is where it stops. "terrorists" is a pretty vague description reading the maricopa county AZ terrorist list that was posted on the forum not long ago. many on this very site fit one or more of those descriptions used in that flyer. would you not agree? |

It doesn't matter if it's Texas or California, i'd be real pissed if those fuckers attacked us again. I can't believe some people are making jokes about it being LA. It's the USA, & an attack on ANY city in this country is an attack on all of us.

You can seriously doubt all you want. Frankly, the .gov has way more tools than this little FISA thing - Carnivore for instance... But this is what the .gov says it's using the wiretaps for and being that I keep my nose clean and don't worship a god that requires me to blow innocent people up, I am not too worried. If they wiretap me they'd be very, very bored.
