Egypt Arrests Suspected Terrorists
By VOA News
04 December 2006
Egypt says it has arrested more than 10 suspected terrorists who it claims were training to wage Jihad or holy war.
An interior ministry statement released Monday says the group, including nine French citizens, two Belgians and an American, were living in Egypt under the pretense of studying Arabic and Islam. The statement says several Egyptians, Tunisians and Syrians are also under arrest.
The statement says the group had adopted extremist views and was working to recruit new members to wage terror in Iraq. The government says the group has links to terror organizations abroad.
The ministry did not reveal the names of those under arrest.
The U.S. embassy in Cairo has refused to comment on the arrests.

If guilty, behead them.
That would be ironic, eh?

Radical islam transcends artificial political boundaries and distinctions. To them, you're either a believer or not. American, French, Tunisian... doesn't matter.

They were probably training in preparation of returning home. This confirms your theories of an Islamic plot to take over the Western world, marden. I hope the Egyptian authorities cooperate with the CIA in torturing these terrorists until they reveal contacts in their organization. This could be the break we need to take down this worldwide conspiracy!

The more that folks recognize this fact the more I will feel relieved of the 'duty' of spreading the alarm.
Everyone should feel gratified.

Are you unfamiliar with the use of the word 'wage' in its conjunction with the word 'war' ?
You can sow terror. You can wage terror as much as you can wage war. Just because you limit terror to a simple emotion divorced from terrorism, and you limit terrorism to simple crime divorced from war does not mean these things are so.
More important than your semantic reflection is the treason committed by an American. Who is he? We do not know - the American news media organizations have failed to report on this completely.
The AP can make up a fictional Capt. in the Iraqi forces to bash efforts in Iraq, but they can't send a stringer to find out who this is?

In English you cannot wage terror any more than you can wage love or hope. That's only possible poetically.
Terror is not a synonym for terrorism, just as absurd and absurdism or concept and conceptualism are not synonyms.
Beside, you can't wage terrorism either. You can wage a campaign of terrorism or you can wage a war of terrorism.
For some reason George Bush likes to use "terrah" to mean anything evil. And he likes to use "wah" for anything he's serious about. The Voice of America has bought into it wholesale and has taken it one step further inventing the waging of terror. Since wage means "to engage in", waging terror would describe the act of feeling terror not the conduct of terrorism. As we well know, Bush is no expert on pronounciation or the English language and I think it's a shame that a group like VOA is starting to speak like him.

When all else fails, attack semantic and pronounciation. Whats next? Spelling?

I think the greater shame than your disagreement over the VOA's word choice, is the fact that an American was caught conspiring to cause terrorism and acts of treason, and the AP, al-Reuters, or anyone else hasn't been interested in telling us his name.

Now now, jumping to conclusions are we? That's what this government has done to Jose Padilla and have yet to prove his guilt, 3 and half years later
