Here's what sounds like a really good argument to me. What would stop a terrorist organization from betting on someone or some event and then making it come true?
Meantime, there's a new warning regarding a 9/11 style hyjacking and crash into something in Europe or America. That's one of the real reasons the minister from Saudi Arabia flew to Washington.
Why are you always on the side of the untruths?
When are you going to grow up and wake up and recognise that you will most likely never see a terrorist nor a terrorist act in person in your lifetime and that you are merely regurtitating manufactured paranoia. Washington has you so spun that you still see boogeymen behind every corner and think that all world events centre around considerations about terrorism. They don't!
Why not start comprehending that everything you hear now from the Bush admin is a blatant lie meant to keep you continually running scared? Or perhaps youve not yet got the picture of how under their bootheel the general public in the US truly is.
You just never will learn will you?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon will abandon a plan to establish a futures market to help predict terrorist strikes, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said Tuesday.
Sen. John Warner, R-Va., said he spoke by phone with the program's director, "and we mutually agreed that this thing should be stopped."
Warner announced the decision not long after Senate Democratic Leader Thomas Daschle took to the floor to denounce the program as "an incentive actually to commit acts of terrorism."

He might not have been the chief of staff though, but it was definately a high position.
The key figures overseeing the US Latin American policy were also found guilty, some of misdemeanors and at least one of a felony (lying to Congress under oath) stemming from the Iran Contra scandal, and these were of course pardoned by Daddy Bush so they could reinstated.
Its so corrupt its sickening.
I believe you are talking about John Poindexter, who was National Security Adviser for Reagan. And yes, he was implicated up to his neck in Iran-Contra.

Fortunately there are decent Americans standing up to the continued betrayal by this admnistration and giving the poor criminal poindexter a taste of his own medicine!

The sooner the public is rid of these guys, the sooner the corporate press can be shamed for its collusion in filling gullible Americans' minds with constant over sensationalised nonsense about innumerable terrorist threats. The perhaps the country can resume practicing responsible and diplomatic foreign relations rather than unmitigated warfare and bullying.
The reality is: Europe and America and the other Western countries in the world were played by Muslim extremists. If your continent really doesn't believe that, but by taking into account recent changes in immigration laws I believe Europe does, your continent is primed for an attack. And judging by the non-or-very-little growth of the EU member states, you can't economically take a hit from Al Qaeda. If you care nothing for the American lives lost...think about the jobs lost world wide. France and Germany will be lucky if they end 2003 without deflation.
Do you read your history and economics facts from the back of a Cerial Box whilst having breakfast?
And so what if they have deflation, Japan has had that for god knows how long and they still move forwards. (well sort of).
Such as the cartoonist who recreated the famous Vietnam assassination picture (or a Vietcong being executed) but with Bush as the Vietcong.
Following publishing he was questioned by the SS...
