"Sea-Tac screeners' letter prompts federal probe"

I'm very familiar with the OSS issues. I worked at PacBell from 1980 to 1991. Toll COE, Circuit Equipment planning, PREMIS/LAC conversion, SOAC/LFACS conversion, COSMOS/MIZAR upgrade. My software shop did the work that Bellcore consistently bid with dates that were too late and prices that were too high.

May not be significant. Taxi cab drivers have a shockingly high rate of being murder victims. In terms of being a murder victim it's just about the highest risk profession in the US.

[Cindy]

Your stats sound right to me.

[Pro-Bush]

I see, I have also worked for Pac-Bell (SBC) - from 1996/2000, on the back-office billing systems.

Now I am in the billing world of Cable, catching up from flat rate, batch processing to real-time, usage based rating, and its a nightmare!

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NICOSIA [MENL] -- Iran plans to host leading Islamic groups regarded by the United States as terrorist in a 10-day conference next week.

Iranian officials said the conference to discuss strategy against the United States and its allies will begin on Sunday and last 10 days. They said Iran, in wake of an intense debate that pitted reformers against conservatives, has invited such organizations as Hamas, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad and Al Qaida allies such as Ansar Al Islam."

"THE BALKANS: Al Qaeda Looking for Blond Recruits"

ARTICLE BRIEF: "THE BALKANS: Al Qaeda Looking for Blond Recruits

January 20, 2004: Al Qaeda continues to show up in Bosnia. A Bosnian government official issued a statement asserting that Al Qaeda is looking for young Bosniak Muslims to enlist in a so-called “white Al Qaeda.” Here’s the telling quote, as reported by western sources from a Bosnian Serb newspaper: "Reports by international intelligence services saying that future terrorists will be blue-eyed and blond indicate that Al Qaeda is recruiting in Bosnia-Hercegovina and Kosovo. This is why the authorities should prevent radical Islamists from paying young and poor men to go to battlefields and to die there." The “recruiting” is allegedly done by “non-governmental aid organizations” funded by Islamists.

January 13, 2004: Several sources are once again reporting active Al Qaeda recruitment in Bosnia. These sources run from speculation in the Bosnian press to “unofficial” statements by SFOR. The specific targets of Al Qaeda recruiters are Bosniak Muslims who have become Wahabi (the conservative form of Islam from Saudi Arabia). The Al Qaeda recruiters are identified as Islamist mujahadeen fighters who came to Bosnia for the war against Serbia, married Bosnian women, and have “stayed on” in Bosnia. One report had Bosnian recruits fighting in Chechnya. As Europeans, it is assumed Al Qaeda believes the Bosnians are better able to slip through police and transportation security checks."

"U.S. troops take possibility of al-Qaida attack on Guantanamo seriously"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) - Firing heavy machine-guns and mortars, U.S. soldiers practiced repulsing a commando attack Saturday at the maximum-security prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay.


While the possibility of terrorists trying to break out prisoners seems remote, it's crucial for the soldiers to be prepared, said Capt. Gregg Langevin, a 33-year-old from the Massachusetts Army National Guard.

"There have been reports that the al-Qaida are out there actively trying to buy small crafts," Langevin said, suggesting a stealthy approach from the coast.

Some 650 men from more than 40 countries are detained at the remote camp in eastern Cuba, suspected of fighting for Osama bin Laden or the ousted Afghan Taliban regime that sheltered his insurgents.

Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, commander of the detention mission, said guards warned detainees that they would hear blasts that were part of a training exercise."

Yep.

Are they just talking about Gitmo? They must consider other high value targets, like Diablo Canyon.

[Cindy]

Just this one article is talking about GITMO.

The men, one from New York and three from Florida, showed the expired passes as they tried to enter the secure area, officials said.


They were taken into custody for questioning.

One of the largest security sweeps was conducted Saturday night. Federal agents and dozens of bomb-sniffing dogs went over every inch inside the stadium."

"Two shot downtown during Super Bowl festivities"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Witnesses described the gunman to police as a large man weighing about 300 pounds, but no one was in custody.

Dozens of HPD mounted patrol officers had the crime scene in front of the Crazy Horse Cantina cordoned off.

"It's too bad things like this happen, but with a crowd this size, you have to expect something bad,"said bystander Gilbert Montoya."

Gotta see Flash_2, I watched all three with great pleasure, Gitmo trash held captive and all. But Flash_2 on the ALASRA site shows NYC being blown-up with a traditional Nuke coming from the sky (not the subway or nuke plant, my thinking). All three deserve watching! ...All links are clean, I checked!
