#1 Hope the US Intel Community underscores that some of that telephone traffic (that the story is based on) passed through the US, so we need to indemnify US companies from law suits. We have 14 terrorists at large, perhaps in India already, so let's get on this.

#2 Disturbing that some were based here and had help. We need to re-vet our own muzzies here, or we will have the same scenario happen.

#4 Disturbing that some were based here and had help.

I didn't read that those who carried out the attacks were from the U.S., DarthVader, but rather that the LeT have connections providing support in the U.S.-- probably money and "stuff". We already knew there are those here whose support is not only vocal but material; it's nice that Intelligence now has actual phone numbers to trace.

#5 Or DarthVader could be correct. According to terrorism consultant Patrick Poole writing today at Pajamas Media:

And as many signs point to LeTÂ’s involvement in the Mumbai attacks, it should be noted that LeT terrorists are known to be operating inside the U.S. A number of LeT operatives trained in Pakistani terror camps have been arrested, tried, and convicted here at home, most notably those involved in the Northern Virginia jihad network. Other U.S. citizens have trained in LeT camps and been killed in operations, including Jibreel al-Amreekee, a 19-year-old convert to Islam from Atlanta killed in 1997 during a LeT attack on an Indian Army post. And two of the brothers of LeT leader and founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed were arrested in December 2006 on immigration charges while serving as imams of mosques in the Boston area.
