British immigration officers are checking the files of recent Algerian asylum-seekers amid fears that some could have slipped into the country to set up terrorist cells

Whew! I'm glad our borders are secure!

Back in the 60's when Linda Ronstadt was a member of the Stone Pony's, someone put LSD in a sugar shaker at a restrauant in LA. Luckily it wasn't enough to hurt her, but the thought of this Risen C**p in a rest. is scary.

I hope this is not just another scare tactic to enable our "conservative" President and Congress to pass more restrictive laws. I'm of the opinion they are designed to keep Americans on edge, therefore, I no longer pay attention to them as I refuse to live in fear. Unfortuately, most Americans are buying into it if we are to believe the polls.

I await the flsmes.

So the ricin is in Canada, as well as Britain. If it's in Canada, it's probably here, too.

We started with capitulation to China over the hijacked EP3. Now we're kissing NK butt. The muslims are playing us for fools. And Russia is not cooperating.

Frankly, I think we're screwed.

Why can't these perpetrators ever meet their own demise from their own handling of these chemical weapons?

Clearly it will require many more dead Americans before our government or or nation gears up for the challenges ahead.

The first indication that the government is pulling it's head out of the sand will be when the mass deportation of illegal Muslim immigrants begins and the visas to Muslims from terrorist states stop.

More than 300,000 illegal immigrants who were ordered deported after Sept. 11, 2001, remain at large despite a highly publicized capture campaign started after the terror war began, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

In addition, FBI officials tell Fox News as many as 1,000 al-Qaida sympathizers may be roaming America's streets and cities today

This must be one of the "benefits of diversity" I keep hearing about.
