Well, shiver me timbers and blow me down with a feather! A Congresscritter with functioning neurons!? (Yeah, I know. Hyperbole and all that. But I got your attention, didn’t I?) It is unusually refreshing to see someone doing their job with competence. Public Press Release September 25, 2009

Rep. Myrick Connects the Dots of the Recent US Terror Plots
“There is no current evidence that materially connects any of the terror plots recently revealed. However, I have taken sentences directly from FBI press releases, and FBI investigative documents, and highlighted the clear connection below. These plots are all tied together by one thing: a global ideology that is self-identified by its believers as jihadist, or “jihadiyya”. It is hard to ignore this fact when in these cases below several of these men very clearly, and very directly, state that they followed this ideology (jihad), and wanted to kill.
I find this connection disturbing seeing as these plots come on the heels of the Administration's efforts to rename 'jihadists' - which is what they call themselves - 'violent extremists'."

“Smadi made clear his intention to serve as a soldier for Usama Bin Laden and al Qaeda, and to conduct violent jihad.”
“…Finton expressed his desire to receive military training and to travel to Gaza or other overseas locations to become a jihadist fighter.”
“According to the indictment, during the period from 1989 through 1992, Daniel Boyd traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan where he received military-style training in terrorist training camps for the purpose of engaging in violent jihad.”
Zazi has told FBI investigators that he "attended courses at an al Qaeda training facility" while in Pakistan.
“According to the indictment and other documents filed by the government, in early January 2009, Kaziu devised a plan to travel abroad for the purpose of joining a radical foreign fighter group and to take up arms against perceived enemies of Islam.”
Golly! And you don’t even need statistics to connect these dots!!!
