Threats made by Adam Gadahn in his new al Qaeda video are getting some people nervous. I wouldn't be as worried about the American traitor's threats as I would be about new information which suggests that the failed Glasgow/London suicide bombers had contacts in the U.S.

Okay, worried may be too strong a word. Amused? Yeah, that's the word. Because if the al Qaeda cell in the U.S. received the same training as the moronic doctors who tried to pull off jihad in Britain, then we really don't have much to fear. Remember, these are the guys who couldn't pull off a suicide car bombing right. And they're doctors. Doctors, I am told by TV, are supposed to be really smart.

NY Sun:

E-mail addresses for American individuals were found on the same password-protected e-mail chains used by the United Kingdom plotters to communicate with Qaeda handlers in Europe, a counterterrorism official told The New York Sun yesterday. The American and German intelligence community now believe the secure e-mail chains used in the United Kingdom plot have provided a window into an operational Qaeda network in several countries.

"Because of the London and Glasgow plot, we now know communications have been made from Al Qaeda to operatives in the United States," the counterterrorism official said on condition of anonymity. "This plot helps to connect a lot of stuff. We have seen money moving a lot through hawala networks and other illicit finance as well." But this source was careful to say that at this point no specific information, such as names, targets or a timeline, was known about any particular plot on American soil. The e-mail addresses that are linked to Americans were pseudonyms.
