Thanks, Lucy. What part of the word 'illegal' don't they get? If they can't abide by the rules of the land, they are NOT doing their job and are in TOTAL defiance, IMO! Seems to me, this is a good place to start in cleaning up government. They are OUR servants and this is OUR country.
The guy who said he "has to eliminate all the gringos" is a prof at the UT, Arlington.
Quite simply, the terrorists within, operating in plain sight, unrestricted in their operation. The weather isn't the only thing HOT at the University of Texas.
Yet our nation's pharmaceutical companies screamed their pants off about Americans buying "foreign-made" medicinal drugs. Hmmmmmm, obviously they "feared for our safety..." (sarcasm).
Bump!
I really wanted to read this one!
I guess those rumors of a resurgence of the Taliban are proving out.
Snip: One misplaced cell phone and one savvy interpreter equaled one dead insurgent, several pieces of intelligence and a whole lot of captured weapons.
Found this Norovirus story in cache form only - original article N/A
Snip: OMAHA, Neb. - About 300 people were sickened at an Omaha hotel, according to the Douglas County Health Department, and tests show the illness was caused by norovirus. Health officials are investigating at the Doubletree Hotel at 16th and Dodge streets. Douglas County Health director Dr. Adi Pour said vomit and stool samples are conclusive about the cause, but how it spread at the hotel is unclear. Pour said at least 300 people were sickened over three or four days, and was transmitted over three or four days. She said the virus outbreak has been difficult to track.
500 veterans exposed to hepatitis at Veterans Hospital
Snip: Officials at the Togus veterans' hospital acted responsibly this week when they notified 500 men of the remote chance that they could have been infected with hepatitis or HIV when they had prostate biopsies between January 2003 and this January.
Litigation filed on Tennessee fast food restaurant for Hepatitis A
Snip: More than 6,000 vaccines went to Campbell County school kids and teachers. Then, the Health Department offered about 2,000 concerned citizens the vaccine as well. In these lawsuits, the plaintiffs allege long john silver's sold them food contaminated with Hepatitis-A. They say the store owners and operators had a responsibility to prevent food contamination.
Cargo officials say developing a security plan could create a worker shortage by barring illegals and felons.

Cargo industry officials are worried that a federal ID system aimed at boosting security could cost many port workers in Los Angeles and elsewhere their jobs, something that would bottle up the flow of goods destined for virtually every U.S. community.
Details of the program -- more than three years in the making -- are still being worked out. But according to industry officials who have discussed it with the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard, illegal immigrants and people convicted of certain crimes might be barred from the positions they now hold.
At ports, that could mean thousands of people will be out of jobs, including dockworkers and truck drivers.
(snip)
Since the Sept. 11 attacks the federal government has spent many billions of dollars increasing airport security, but less has been done at ports. Only a small percentage of cargo is inspected and many workers undergo little or no scrutiny for possible criminal records.
That's interesting.
Thanks La Enchiladita.

Iraqi actors killed for entertaining kids
UPI ^ | April 22 2006
Posted on 04/22/2006 9:03:47 PM PDT by jmc1969
Faud Radi and Haidar Jawad, Iraqi children's entertainers, were executed by armed militias -- the new moral guardians of Baghdad.
The two actors were part of the Happy Family Team, a troupe seen on television and adored by millions of children, the Times of London reported. Their troupe was part of an 11-day festival intended to help youngsters forget Baghdad's curfews, bombings and the dangers of daily life.
The group had been threatened by gunmen who objected to drama classes the company gave to children of all faiths and ethnic backgrounds, the newspaper said.
"We didn't take them seriously," said Safaa Eadi, 31, a founding member of Happy Family Team.
The troupe's building was burned down and, on the eve of the festival, Radi and Jawad were shot. Jawad died instantly and Radi was dragged from their van and beaten to death.
Surviving members of the group voted unanimously to go ahead with the pageant and have vowed to carry on.

Iran: 5000 Fanatic Muslim Clerics To US Mosques
by J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Apr 22, 2006
Mosques in America need more clerics. The solution? Send hard-line, fanatic clerics to the United States.
Fill in the blanks:
the US sleeper cells are getting more murder-hungry clerics by which to instruct neighborhood Muslims in how to rise up and take over America.
They are already taking over the Netherlands by threatening that country with murder in the streets.
Therefore, according to recent press reports,
the citizens won't speak anything negative about Islam for fear of being murdered. It's called "self-censorship" there.
With that the Muslims can overtake a society.
http://www.postchronicle.com/commentary/article_21215608.shtml
Snip: The ambushes usually lasted no more than five or 10 minutes, but Khalid revelled in the chance to hit the streets and fire off his AK-47 at the American soldiers and their allies, four grenades strapped to his waist so he could kill himself if captured.
Reminder: Sleeper Cells among us
Snip: On March 1st, 2003, near Karachi, Pakistan, authorities nabbed 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Under interrogation, Mohammed talks. But, according to the 9-11 Commission Report, there was one thing that the Sheikh refused to come clean about: a notebook he possessed that contained U.S zip codes. Mohammed fumbled a nonsensical excuse about their being for e-mail. But officials suspect the zip codes are the locations of al Qaeda sleeper cells in the United States.
81% of Detroit Muslims want Sharia law in Muslim countries
Snip: If accurate, this is extremely disturbing. It means, in effect, that most survey participants oppose democracy in Iraq and elsewhere in the Islamic world, and want to see Sharia oppression of women and non-Muslim dhimmis instituted throughout Muslim lands. It also raises questions, unanswered by the survey, about what kind of government these survey participants would like ultimately to see in the United States.
State Department's flirting with the Muslim Brotherhood
Snippets: While scores of moderate Muslims and Islamic scholars, the 9/11 Commission, and European security officials point to the Muslim Brothers as the forefathers of modern Islamist terrorism, the State Department is, in fact, flirting with them.
Alamoudi, who also served as a representative of ISNA in Washington, personified the double face of the Brotherhood in the West. While cozying up to elites in Washington in English, he spread a different message in Arabic. In 1996, in fact, Alamoudi tellingly said at an Islamic conference in Chicago: “Once we are here, our mission in this country is to change it. ... There is no way for Muslims to be violent in America, no way. We have other means to do it... If we are outside this country, we can say, ’Oh, Allah, destroy America.’"
Iran: 5,000 fanatic Muslim clerics to US mosques
Snippets: Mosques in America need more clerics. The solution? Send hard-line, fanatic clerics to the United States. Fill in the blanks: the US sleeper cells are getting more murder-hungry clerics by which to instruct neighborhood Muslims in how to rise up and take over America.
Fill in the blanks regarding this request from American mosques for Iranian cleric increase: It is the Iranian leadership that has declared that "execution of suicide and missile attacks (must be) aimed at 29 sensitive sites." Further: It is the goal of Islamic international killers to "wipe Israel off the world map." How better to serve the Koran's Allah than to plant subversives throughout this republic by which to do in America while elsewhere other Muslim murderers global are doing in Israel and so forth, the latter being "29 sensitive sites?"
Fascinating. Perhaps those illegals at the ports planning a work-stoppage will get a lot more time off than they anticipated (we can only hope).
Lots of editorials seemingly concerned that the government's showy arrest of illegals this past week was just that. We'd all do well to avoid purchasing products from companies who knowingly and consistently hire illegals. Competition - it's the American way! Now if Uncle Sam can prove he's the real deal and wants to protect our country's sovereignty by going after corporate America (specifically those using illegals), that'd be an awesome first step on a long journey.
Ian, great looking formatting on your posts today. Wow - looks impressive!

He confirmed to the newspaper that a meeting was held last June between Al-Zarqawi and a Lebanese fugitive, Emad Mughania, at one of Al-Quds corps centers in Kermanshah providence in western Iran. The source said Mughania played an influential role in forming the Al-Mahdi Army. Al-Mahdi Army belongs to the strict Shia religious cleric, Muqtada Al-Sadr, and trains its members in camps inside Iran. He also mentioned the entrance of Shia fighters from Lebanon to Iraq dressed as religious studies students. These fighters then join Al-Madi Army under the supervision of Emad Mughania. Mughania underwent a cosmetic surgery recently in a sanitarium for the revolutionary guards in northern Iran to change his face. This is the 5th surgery for Mughania, who's been chased by Western and Arabic intelligence organizations for a number of years now. The source said Mughania kept his relationships with Aymen Al-Thawahiri, the number-two man in Al-Qaida organization despite the difficulty of contacting him lately. He added that Mughania submitted a report early this year to chief of the revolutionary guards intelligence after a visit to Iraq. The report outlined the importance of expanding a framework of collaboration between Al-Mahdi Army and Al-Zarqawi's group. Muqtada has lost his standing among the Iraqi shia, especially Al-Najaf, while gaining more supporters in the Sunni triangle.")

"We know that Mohseni Ezhei holds routine meetings with Mugniyah, who is today Iran's head of overseas operations," he said. "Since we know from previous Iranian terror attacks that it takes about a year to plan a substantial one, we should not be surprised if operations against western targets are already in high gear and Mugniyah is certainly playing a major role."

"Mr. Moshir said that the two met while in graduate school at the George Washington University, and that Mr. Nahavandian uses Mr. Moshir's address for correspondence and stays in the house when he visits the Washington area.
Mr. Moshir also said that Mr. Nahavandian spent a night at his friend's home at the beginning of his current visit and then went to New York to attend a United Nations-related conference. Over dinner, they talked about various matters, but Mr. Nahavandian did not even mention that he had taken a government job in Tehran."

Newly caught terror cell plans to attack US, Israeli targets in Egypt
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CAIRO, April 22 (KUNA) -- A terrorist cell calling itself "The Victorious Sect" had plans to strike US and Israeli targets inside Egypt "to avenge what's happening to Muslims in Iraq and Palestine", Al-Ahram newspaper reported Saturday quoting the cell's newly captured leaders.
One of the investigators in the case told the daily that the first suspect named Ahmed Mohammed Gabr known as Abu Musaab, gave information on how the terrorist cell was formed and confessed that "Jihad" was its objective.
The investigator quoted the suspect as saying that Musaab Al-Zarqawi, Al-Qaeda network's leader in Iraq, was his hero and that the terrorist cell met in their homes to avoid being caught by authorities."
ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "Security authorities in Cairo announced the capture of the cell last Wednesday naming its leader, Abu Musaab, a 27 year old student in the college of arts, and his aide Ahmed Basioni known as Abu Bakr Al-Masri."
We have truly got a journey ahead of us and no other option but to take it.
The complacency that began in the 1950s has become our worst enemy.
