Pat Robertson predicts major terrorist attack in late 2007

I've been checking No Se Nada at Science Blogs occasionally and saw this post about a prediction by Pat Robertson, the conservative christian. Mr. Robertson says God told him during a prayer meeting that there would be a major attack in America that would mean mass killings. He says this will happen in the later part of the year. He really provides a lot of good copy - the Wikipedia entry has a larger section on "Controversies and Criticisms" than the part that deals with his life and views. This guy ran for President in 1988! From reading the scurrilous Wikipedia entry you'd think this man's life was dominated by hilarious self-promotion, attacks on fellow christians, muslims and hindus and vague but bullying threats aimed at whole groups of people. Oh, and scandalous corruption. My favourite is the "Age-Defying Shake", which is not a convulsion brought on by a visit of the Holy Spirit, but a recipe for a refreshing drink that Pat uses, enabling him to leg-press 2000 pounds!
