[Endeavor]

OK, Iowa Granny pinged me to an article earlier this week from the Peoria (IL) Star Journal that was all about how Peoria and Champaign are THE hot spots for Al Qaeda in the midwest - not Chicago, not Detroit, but right where I live.

I have been worried about this for a while although did not know of the literal "hotbed" we'd become, and have long considered sitting in on some of the Muslim mtgs on campus. Problem has been that I obviously don't "fit in."

After reading this article, I'm scared spitless - not that I'm in any danger but that our police and sheriff's department don't have a clue - the Peoria police chief only learned of it when the Peoria Sherriff, who just happened to attend an FBI update meeting recently, found out about it and told him.

Clearly, law enforcement is missing out on what the FBI knows. I'm considering staking out the mosques around town and doing a little of my own investigative work. Folks, we have a cyclotron right here on campus and a nuclear facility 40 miles due west on a small, local lake. It has been shut down for a few years, but the radiocative material is still there. My campus has one of the few supercomputing centers in the country. We have the kind of assets that these chumps would literally kill for.

What do I do?

What do I do?

I wouldn't encourage you to do your own investigating. Let the professional do it.

Be alert, stay safe. It's not likely they will strike in C/U, only that they're congregating there.

I wouldn't go to any cocktail parties or keggers held at the nuke plant.

However, it they put a notice in the paper and say they're dividing their day lilies and giving away the excess, an exception could be made.
