A secret U.S. law enforcement report, prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, warns that al Qaeda is planning a terror “spectacular” this summer, according to a senior official with access to the document.
“This is reminiscent of the warnings and intelligence we were getting in the summer of 2001,” the official told ABCNews.com.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), the chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, said Sunday he wants to “more widely†use surveillance cameras across the country.
“The Brits have got something smart going in England, and it was part of why I believe they were able to so quickly apprehend suspects in the terrorist acts over the weekend, and that is they have cameras all over London and other of their major cities,†Lieberman said.
“I think it’s just common sense to do that here much more widely,†he added. “And of course, we can do it without compromising anybody’s real privacy.â€
Sure Joe, piece of cake, surveillance cameras all over the country can, of course, be accomplished without compromising real TM privacy.
- all you have to do is redefine privacy, with a view, of course, to keeping the people safe.
Well, Joe fails to mention that security cameras neither stopped the 2 potential car-bombs from being discovered, nor the attempted attack at Glasgow. Both car-bombs were discovered by luck or good fortune… and of course no surveillance camera stopped the Glasgow attack… that was stopped by car barriers to the entrance of the airport.
So.. methinks Joe is being a tad misleading.
