[history]
February 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has dispatched the elite commando force that hunted down Saddam Hussein to Afghanistan for a new operation aimed at getting Osama bin Laden, officials said yesterday. Military sources confirmed that members of the shadowy Task Force 121, the unit that conducted the high-tech search for Saddam and his henchmen, have recently begun operating in the remote mountainous region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where bin Laden and key al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives are believed to be hiding. The Task Force is made up of highly trained Delta and SEAL commandos, as well as CIA paramilitary operators. It operates outside normal military channels.

Quirks found in Libyan weapons program
TRIPOLI, Libya, March 2 (UPI) -- Some unusual and innovative discoveries have been made since Libya abandoned its nuclear and chemical programs, the Washington Post said Tuesday.
One of the findings by a U.S. team was at an alleged turkey farm outside Tripoli, where there were no birds, but rather a metal barn filled with empty chemical bomb canisters.

I forget who mentioned smallpox above, but let me assure you there have been no confirmed cases of Smallpox anywhere. That would be a world health emergency of unprecedented proportions, and couldn't be kept quiet.That's sort of the way I feel about OBL. If he had been captured on or about January 20, 2004, as some have speculated, then the news and potential impact of that event would be so great that it couldn't be kept quiet for more than a few days.
BTW, what ever happened to the killer flu that was supposed to ravage the world this flu season? According to today's NYSlimes, it was relatively mild and insignificant. No mutant or biologically engineered strains. I don't even know anyone who came down with the real flu (as opposed to the misnamed "stomach flu").

I'm sorry, are you looking for the English/washed version of the memo that was written to Zarqawi? That was released. I posted a link to it here (Thread 3) when I posted it in the Pro Military postings I do with Ragtime Cowgirl.
I said the original Arabic memo was not released. But here is the link to the English/washed memo again:

When you become a victim of a violent crime you find out the hard way the law fails good citizens, I lost faith over 20 years ago and have more and more reasons not to believe or trust them.

Canada has not brought criminal charges against those who attended bin Laden's terrorism schools." Anyone out there planning to vacation in Canada this year? All of their tourism boards and travel promotions should come with a little sticker or button advising Americans they are the training ground and playground for Bin Laden's terrorists. Suggest rethink of Canada travel plans until they clean up their act up North!!!! They legislate on everything else up there including eliminating lead sinkers for fishermen. Perhaps the American dollar doesn't matter up there!

The thought of kerry being president is more than I can deal with.
Only a clinton would be the equal, in the destruction of our country.

Good job of research. Thank you.
Everyone should read the Free Republic link, if a prisoner does not join the muslims, then the communists get him.
Isn't it nice, we lock them up, so they can be converted to hate.
Now that is true rehabilitation.

Until then, overworked Border Patrol agents must pick and choose which illegal aliens apprehended at U.S. borders to run through FBI databases that contain some 43 million ten-finger sets of prints of known criminals. That means some will slip through the cracks, possibly to commit more crimes, Fine said.Then how on earth do they plan to assimilate all the fingerprints they are taking from incoming foreigners and make it usable now? Is the procedure just a bandaid on a wound that needs a tourniquet?

I've been victim to the law failing good citizens before.
I've always had Mama Nome to whack me in the head to compare here to what she lived through and to "get over it".
I unfortunately don't have Mama Nome here doing that now, God Bless her.
Than again, if she was here, I wouldn't put it past her to whack the FBI in the head.
So maybe they are fortunate.

Could it be that the FBI is attempting to cover their butt, as they think that kerry will win the election?
If kerry wins, we won't need the FBI, as he will bring in NATO forces to keep us in line.

JP what was even more frightening than the million man march was that reparation gathering that was held in Washington last year or the year before. I'm black and they scared the shite out of me. It should be still on the C-span website. I will check after a bit to see if I can locate it. There were people in attendance that I never heard of. One was named Prince Israel. A nice looking young man dressed up in some white attire, but boy some of the crap that was spewed from his mouth made the hair or my body stand on end.
