The plot was discovered when documents were found during the course of raids before and after Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's death in June 2006, intelligence officials say. Contrary to some reports, though, the documents involved were not found in a Zarqawi safe house.
The plot was first revealed in written testimony by Defense Intelligence Agency chief Gen. Michael Maples last Thursday. Maples wrote: "Documents captured in a raid on Al Qaeda in an Iraq safe house revealed AQI (Al Qaeda in Iraq) was planning terrorist operations in the U.S."
Intelligence officials described the plot as "very preliminary, very fragmentary, and aspirational only" — "not operational." All of the individuals involved in the plot "are gone," say intelligence officials — either captured or dead.
Officials stressed that numerous measures have been taken and authorities are satisfied that any threat that existed has been "negated."
"There is no specific threat that we're aware of related to this," said FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko. "This is one of many pieces of threat information that works its way into the intelligence community system that needs to be evaluated."

But a few years ago when i heard her at the national abortion rally she was a raging dem.
Who is she gonna be tomorow......dems,like prostitues open it to everyone and say ,"hey honey who would you like me to be today,maybe a nurse,or a nun...."pretty hard to respect.
I could respect a card carrying communist running for office more than these people.At least they are honest about their brand of bad.
Seriously the Dems will do nothing that doesn't progress their cause wich has nothing to do with protecting the US.
Want to see us fall,elect a Dem president...bye bye USA
This 'under-condition-of-anonymity' intelligence bullsh*t is not credible anymore. It mangled our credulity too much for us to still give it a d*mn.
Boogieman18 we're expecting you and waiting for your sh*tty-perfumed spewing. What obsessed-wording are you going to amuze us with today? Is it the democracy is in danger. (Oh my God Alqaeda will not allow us to go to the landromat to wash our cloth. We'll be stinking all our life long?)
Stay shut, asleep, Boogiema18. The world is better off without you, and booooogieeeey alarm.
The News. The Jobs. The War.
WE ARE A FASCIST NATION.
WE ARE ALL SLAVES.

SO - NO story, NO threat, yet Bu$hCo still gets headlines as usual when they wish to rattle the boogieman just before a major Bu$h speech...DISGUSTING and TRANSPARENT.
