Great! | 10:43 p.m. Sept. 5, 2009

More right wing whacko scare tactics.

Rove was in town this last week wasn't he?

Anonymous | 11:23 p.m. Sept. 5, 2009

Nobody believed the many warnings before 9-11 either Great.

Not a joke | 1:04 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

I'm a firm believer something bigger will happen. Timing is ripe and good right now with a President that's about as clueless as they come.

I wish instead of going after the Taliban in Iraq and Afghanistan, that we would have built bigger nicer twin towers, made the pentagon nicer, etc. To show our enemies you might be able to knock down a building using terror tactics, but we will come out stronger in the end. Now I'm afraid that we are not safer at all by going after them and the media giving them the attention that they want.

Those who don't learn | 6:05 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

from history are bound to repeat it

What? | 7:03 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

PArAnOiA!!!

let's ignore this one too | 7:40 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

I agree. This is all hogwash. Just like it was on 9=11-2001. Uh, people, let's not bury our heads in the sand. Have we all forgotten already? I know the leaders in Congress have. But we are ripe for another attack and this does sound plausible. I certainly hope I am wrong. But I do not for a second doubt the enemy does not have a plan very much like this.

we failed listen last time | 8:10 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

Will Obama's team make the same mistake?

Frederick Douglass told us | 8:19 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

"The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion."

Bill | 8:41 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

It's important to remember that the pirce of Freedom is never paid. How soon we forget the nightmare of 9/11. Why do people think that these are scare tactics?

Take a deep breath | 10:07 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

Unless your name is Jack Bauer, there's nothing you can do about this even if this worry-wart is accurate. Forget about things you can't control and enjoy the things you can. It's a fantastic time to be alive!

tommygirl | 10:25 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

9/11 was a test run for the terrorists that targeted America. Unfortunately, I believe they will once again take advantage of our complacency and ignorance and history will repeat itself and the devastation will be much worse. That in itself is hard to imagine. I pray it not happen. But, it will. WAKE UP AMERICA! We underestimated the enemy once...don't let it happen again. Again...WAKE UP!!

to tommygirl and others | 12:04 p.m. Sept. 6, 2009

When you write "don't let it happen again"--what exactly are you proposing we do? If it's true that the suitcase nukes are already in the country, are you proposing we stop all small plane flights in these cities? I'm sure the terrorists would then find another way to detonate them--even if it was just by having someone blow them while walking down the street. Perhaps not as destructive as if they were detonated from the air, but come on--these are nukes and they would do major damage wherever they are set off.

The message I get from this article is that we need to be prepared for disaster and savor every moment we have. And that includes not stressing ourselves sick about things over which we have little or no control.

Jim III | 2:37 p.m. Sept. 6, 2009

The enemies of America have spoken and they are not silent on their goals.
According to the believers like Osama Bin Laden and his cadre of followers America is the great Satan.
They are willing to do almost anything to destroy the American way of life.
Reading some of the early comments about this article by those who apparently are of the liberal mindset who think that just by having everyone get in a circle and singing warm fuzzy songs all the problems will to away.
Get a dose of reality people.
A backpack nuke is just that, a backpack nuke.
A one person device that is carried by one person.
It can very easily be shielded from detection using a small amount of lead.
Usually they weigh about 100 pounds and have a explosive capacity of about 10-12 kilotons. Maybe more.
An airborne explosion will definitely cause a lot more damage than a ground explosion.
However, the amount of damage caused by the detonation of the device will pale in the psychological impact from such an event.
All it takes is just one successful detonation and America will really change.

Incredible | 2:58 p.m. Sept. 6, 2009

I don't think we are even sure who brought those buildings down. I know what we have been told but after researching the attack I cannot believe a word they say. Those buildings were detonated. It is impossible for airplanes to bring down buildings that size at free fall speed. What about building 7? I think for the past several years we have definitely created plenty of terrorists. It would be easy to predict an attack now. I smell a RAT and I am afraid it is too close to home. Do the research "Mysteries of 9/11" and remember "Ye know not the hearts of men in your own land."

Andrew | 7:10 p.m. Sept. 6, 2009

Better safe than sorry.
FBI should start checking this out.

Anonymous | 9:32 p.m. Sept. 6, 2009

Lee Benson is neither an alarmist, a right wing wacko or propaganditst. He is a respected journalist. Its a probing, thot provoking article. Hopefully we, you, us take notice. Any day is a day we can, could be attacked again. prepare

Bill | 9:23 a.m. Sept. 7, 2009

Obama will keep you safe and sound worry is not needed and if you believe that then you also believe in the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.

pizzaman | 1:29 p.m. Sept. 7, 2009

sounds to me like we've already ignored this man to our own peril twice....third time pays for all, as the saying goes.
There is another man who we have and still do ignore who predicted a lot of things that have happened. His name is Anatoly Golitsyn. He predicted the current rise in terrorism and the actors behind the scenes. When our cities are nuked it will not be with 'arab' bombs, but Russian. The way has been paved for America to react against Russian proxies, but not the planners 'behind the plans'.

Dennis Senior | 1:34 p.m. Sept. 7, 2009

I am flying home 9-11. Wish me luck!

Rocky | 2:04 p.m. Sept. 7, 2009

This sounds to me like one of the more credible warnings I've heard since 9/11. How about 9-9-9?

Dear Incredible | 2:54 p.m. Sept. 7, 2009

Amazing that even after the left-leaning National Geographic Channel conducted research into the all of the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11, you still believe that load of garbage! Get a life, the government is not nearly capable of pulling off such a conspiracy - they can't even cut checks for cash-4-clunkers!

Anonymous | 4:20 p.m. Sept. 7, 2009

there will be more attacks
and the extremists will want to go bigger than 911
every western country needs to keep their guard up

Nola Redd, Examiner.com | 4:49 p.m. Sept. 7, 2009

The Pentagon was made stronger. My husband works in construction and has worked in there. There's a lot of top secret stuff, it's not big public knowledge (for obvious reasons), but believe me. The Pentagon was upgraded.

Whaddabout | 7:01 p.m. Sept. 7, 2009

I've read before that suitcase nukes are extremely heavy, and would require sophisticated engineers and materials to keep them in working order. It's not very easy to keep that sort of activity quiet.

I find it hard to believe that this many suitcases could be maintained without drawing attention to the location and individuals involved.

MSM Fails America | 7:13 p.m. Sept. 7, 2009

Obama has already done more economic damage to the United States then the 9/11 attacks. Sad but true. We are living through another Carter Administration full of ineptitude and 'malaise'.

Jim Rockford | 7:13 p.m. Sept. 7, 2009

Amazing.

Instead of remaining sober and diligent we've slid back into ignoring reality. Something we do well.

I'm just happy that I managed to catch several episodes of "Jericho" reruns on the CW.

Looks like I'll be ready with my wind-powered turbine, salt mine & stockpile of drugs WAY before you loser-clowns.

Suck it.

Daniel Lewin | 1:12 a.m. Sept. 8, 2009

The only people capable of setting off suitcase nukes over U.S cities is Mossad. Keep your eyes on Israeli embassies and Holocaust museums.

anonymous | 1:38 a.m. Sept. 8, 2009

sounds like the neocon regime usa wants world war instead of global economic recovery

IsraelRulesAmerica | 2:33 a.m. Sept. 8, 2009

The American military-industrial complex wanted big business, so 9/11 was delivered. They probably want their businesses expand manifolds, which demands delivery of yet another 9/11.
And possibly that's the reason the MSM has kept Osama alive to this date so as to ask him leave his trail from Mexico to NY just when 9/11 is to be delivered.

Anonymous | 4:11 a.m. Sept. 8, 2009

The left-leaning National Geographic Channel? You must be joking!

Tim | 9:29 a.m. Sept. 8, 2009

If Bush's administration had tried to stop 9/11, it wouldn't have happened.

Accountability | 10:22 a.m. Sept. 8, 2009

To the genius who suggested National Geographic was "left-leaning", get a clue. It is owned by Ruppert Murdoch and News Corp.

euripides911 | 10:27 a.m. Sept. 8, 2009

If Hill is such an expert, how come he doesn't know 9/11 was an inside job? If he were truly in the loop, he would have known better than to ask for orders to assassinate bin Laden, who was a CIA asset.

In my view this is just misinformation to generate fear and hysteria over the "muslim threat",
when every redblooded American knows the real threat is Wall Street and their stooges in Washington.

Unbelievable | 12:00 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

Our own government blew up the towers and protect Bin Ladin? Some people watch far too much TV. So when the next terrorist attack inevitably happens, will these nutcakes blame it on the government again? Ignorance is a terrible thing.

Remember | 12:04 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

Have we forgotten all the events that have been avoided? The nukes in LA, the 3 airliners from the UK, etc.? And dealing with military even without clearance, I can tell you there's much more than we even hear about. This is a war and we must be vigilent at home and take the fight to the enemy. You can deny it all you want but it doesn't make it not so. You're simply among the crow eaters that denied Japan would attack us and denied a 9-11 could happen.

Diana | 12:12 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

If we could all turn our hearts to God and His ways and prepare to live in peace in a righteous, Zion society, we would be protected from the fear, hate, and evil that are driving some in this world to the madness around us.

History Repeats | 12:16 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

Bringing out the CIA operative again to give "expert" predictions about the plans they and their masters have in store for America. False flag coming up, fingers already being pointed at designated scapegoats.

Cayer | 12:41 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

For those idiots who don't believe in conspiracy or think that this may just be PArAnOiA you need to read more and do more research. It doesn't matter weather Muslims or the US. government is involved, that fact is 9/11 happened and whoever did it will do it again. If you want to learn more start by reading these two books, "Non Dare call it conspiracy" and "Awakening to our Awful situation"
If that doesn't wake you up, then your lost.
Learning about true history and about the Constitution are the key to avoiding these things in the future. As for now, it's probably too late without divine intervention.

re - Diana | 12:12 p.m | 12:48 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

["If we could all turn our hearts to God and His ways and prepare to live in peace in a righteous, Zion society, we would be protected from the fear, hate, and evil that are driving some in this world to the madness around us."]

please explain how that will stop a nuclear bomb in a suitcase...

wake up to reality, girl.

robertsgt40 | 1:14 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

You're right. This is a "story". There is no connection between Arabs and 911. The FBI even said their is no connection between Osama and 911. To make this story less believable, there is absolutely no mention of Isarel, the mastermend. Remember the "dancing Israeliis"? How did the Arabs bring down bldg 7? To many holes in this "story"

Diana | 1:42 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

To: re-Diana Our repentance and righteousness could bring about the divine intervention that Cayer memtioned.

WBM5 | 1:54 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

Bury your heads in the sand! But as for me and my family we will Be Prepared!
As for paranoia... A long time ago I had a friend from the middle east and Muslim (somewhat boy friend) who told me that there would be something big one day and he would be a part of it. I asked him like what and he said he couldn't tell but that it would be on the news. I laughed him off. He told me he was serious and that it would be big and everyone would know about it. That was early 80's. I believe him now!
So bury your heads. Just don't knock on my door asking for food and water

Sam | 2:41 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

Thanks to robertsgt40 for posting my comment for me. 9/11 wasn't done by Muslims at all, and Al Qaida has no real existence except as a character in fictional propaganda narratives like this article. 9/11 was actually done by zionist Israelis.

Tired | 4:40 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

Why can't most Americans spell the contraction for "you are" correctly?? It's not "your" it's "you're." For example, "you're great" or "you're lost" not "your my friend."
Your ignorance is showing.

Floda | 5:11 p.m. Sept. 8, 2009

This horse-manure is designed to convince the gently grazing, tax paying American serfs that Osama and his 19 (invisible) cave dwellers shut down Norad, hijacked 4 Airliners and flew around US airspace for hours unchallenged before they hit Larry $ilvershwein's (Recently insured) WTC complex. This idiot would like you to believe TWO planes hit TWO buildings resulting in the destruction of ALL SEVEN buildings 'Lucky' Larry (he and his son didn't showing up that morning) had insured for $7.2 BILLION. 911 among other things was a GIANT INSURANCE FRAUD. It was the mother of all demolitions, the MONA LISA of controlled building destruction. It could NEVER have occurred without treasonous insiders and the assistance of the secret service of a (ummm) "Foreign Power". Three guesses who that might be. The enemy is inside your gates.

Another false flag | 12:47 a.m. Sept. 9, 2009

If it happens, better look within our own government again.........

Pyotr | 1:42 a.m. Sept. 9, 2009

This sounds far-fetched (although anything is possible).

Nuclear technology is sophisticated stuff. If "Al Qaeda" were able to pull something off like the interviewee is suggesting, I counter-suggest that a shell-shocked America might well wonder if cave-dwelling Islamic fundamentalists were really capable of such a technologically sophisticated act.

And seeing how that patriot saint George W. Bush is no longer President, Mr. Obama and his associates would likely be blamed.

John W. | 2:30 a.m. Sept. 9, 2009

Knowing what we now know about 9/11 and top Israeli Jews and U.S military who all claimed not to be involved, despite all the now obvious evidence, from various groups of people all over the world.

I would definitely say something else is going to happen or more accurately "be allowed to happen". Those in power will step back, into the shadows at the appropriate time and hey presto another disaster.

The question is why ? - Perhaps they need to force all us sheeple that we need to be in Afghanistan and enforce that opinion. Hasn't oil just been found in Afghanistan too. I wonder if that has anything to do with it ?

hmmmm thought so !
