Assault Weapons or Assault Rifles?

Shouldn't they really be called "assault rifles"? Were they capable of full-auto fire? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by UnneededAplomb (talk • contribs) 02:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

AK-47 and M16's are fully automatic assault weapons. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 03:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline not meshing with article

When was the video made, January 31, 2006 or 2007? --Joelmills 03:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to the sources I read, the video was made in 2006, which tipped the FBI off to really start investigating them. All of the references from news sources say that the video was made in January 2006, or don't mention the date of the video at all. I've moved a paragraph in the "Preparations" section to reflect this as well. Gracenotes^T § 04:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Terror group/cell

I have removed all instances where they were referred to as a terror group/cell. Terrorism is on Wikipedia:Words to avoid and should generally only be used when referring to someone describing them as terrorists. It should not be used in the 'narrative voice' of the article. This is especially important in this case since as with the USS Cole bombing, it appears to have been a plan to attack a military target without involving any civilians (unlike the Pentagon attack for example) so designating it as a a terrorist plan is questionable in the eyes of many Nil Einne 07:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the target list a bit over the top

About the list. It is not like these guys were planning attacks on all these places, they merely considered them, before settling on Fort Dix. How about removing it? 130.161.182.29 10:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Racist terminology

The term "towel head" is an absolutely racist term and should immediately be removed from this article. I am new and don't know how to do such things, but I found the use of this term completely shocking. 64.222.44.148 10:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In all posts they were mentioned as being from former Yugoslavia. They names clearly revealed that they are Albanians from Kosovo, but it could be tricky to mention that right now, when USA is trying to separate Kosovo from Serbia and to give it independence. Thus, try to refer to their origin as it is, this will give clearer picture of the bacground of this event.
