"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
Two Chinese diplomats, away from their Los Angeles consulate improperly, recently sped their vehicle past a Los Alamos National Laboratory guard post near classified facilities in what U.S. officials think was an intelligence mission, The Washington Times has learned.

I don't have an answer to your question. I do know that one of my brothers that works for DoD has been to Turkey quite a bit in the last couple of years but I don't know what he was doing there :-)

Kyla that's what sets them apart from us. They have no respect for life as we know it (from conception on). They have no respect for those who serve our country, be it the President or the people who are injured or killed serving this country.

Yes NATO June 28-29, here is an article where they caught scumbags plotting to bomb that.
Turkey: Terror Plot Targeted NATO
Provided By: The Associated Press
Last Modified: 5/3/2004 11:12:34 PM
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- A Turkish court filed terrorism charges against nine suspects Monday in connection with an alleged plot to set off a bomb at a NATO summit in Istanbul next month that President Bush is scheduled to attend.
Private CNN-Turk television said three of the suspects had been plotting a suicide attack on Bush and other Western leaders at the summit, but officials could not confirm the report.
Authorities detained 16 alleged members of Ansar al-Islam on Thursday in the northwestern province of Bursa, Gov. Oguz Kagan Koksal said. The suspects also planned to attack a synagogue in Bursa and rob a bank to raise funds, Koksal said.

The US media seems to play down the plot.
I posted 3 articles from the UK, which give a lot more detail and you get the real info about the magnitude and seriousness of this plot to assassinate Bush, Blair and a lot of other European leaders.

British Tabloids Battle it Out Whether Soldiers Abused Iraqi POW
Pictures of British soldiers made public by Britain's Daily Mirror showing soldiers abusing an Iraqi prisoner of war were faked, military experts told another British tabloid.
In an apparent war of the tabloids, the Sun newspaper reported (www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004201720,00.html) that the uniform worn by soldiers in the photos does not appear to be genuine. Doubts were also raised over a variety of other issues, including the prisoner himself.
According to the Sun, one expert said: "I have no doubt these are staged." Military pundits listed twenty glaring mistakes or omissions in the pictures which they said pointed to them being faked or altered.
The images, which caused international outrage, appear to show a hooded Iraqi being kicked, urinated on and hit with a rifle butt.
However, one veteran expert told the Sun, "I am prepared to stake my reputation on my view that the whole thing is a set-up."
Detailed analysis, the Sun reported, concluded that the rifle in the picture was a replica of an outdated model, that the soldiers' kit was incorrect and that images had been altered.
Terry Foley, a former major in the British Army Intelligence Corps, told the Sun, "I am 110 per cent sure that the rifle in the picture is not a real British SA80. It's far too shiny and clean and the colour and tone of the metallic parts are different to the real thing, which might explain why these pictures are in black and white. A shadow has been added to the so-called drops of urine on the image and the wet patch of the hessian bag on the victim's head looks false."
Foley said he believed the rifle was a Japanese-made Soft Air replica of an original Mk I SA80 not the modified version used in Iraq, the Sun reported..
Other areas of concern, the Sun reported, are that all the people in the pictures are very clean showing no signs of the prolific Iraqi dust. The "victim" shows no signs of flinching or blood.
In addition, none of the soldiers is wearing a watch or any badges denoting their unit or ranks. One wears a floppy hat rather than the helmet and body armor that patrols must wear. Ammo pouches are empty and hanging open with straps undone. Pants are tucked into boots rather than secured with elastic to keep sand out.
The Sun reported that mounting evidence suggests the incident may have been faked by individuals wanting to impugn the British Army.
Former British Army intelligence officer Simon Treselyan told the Sun, "I have seen enough interrogations to know this is faked."
British Conservative Party Defense Spokesman Nicholas Soames said there was "clearly a question mark" over the photos' authenticity, the Sun reported.
The British Ministry of Defense told the Sun, "We are as keen as anyone to find out what lies behind this story."
However, the two soldiers who gave the controversial pictures to the Daily Mirror fired back, and insisted that they are real.
Known as Soldier A and Soldier B, Soldier B told the Mirror, (www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/tm_objectid=14205311&method=full&siteid=50143&headline=this-is-not-a-hoax--i-saw-it--i-was-there-name_page.html), "This happened, it is not a hoax and the Army knows a lot more has happened." Soldier A added, "I was there, I saw what happened."
Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan defended publication of the photos, which sparked a worldwide outcry. He said, "There was clearly a small rogue element of soldiers who committed totally unacceptable acts against Iraqi civilians."
Morgan further said, "Acts which have made our battle to win the hearts and minds of this country's people so much more difficult. The Mirror makes no apology for exposing this outrageous and unlawful behavior, which has been common knowledge among disgusted British servicemen in Basra for many months. The vast majority of our troops in Iraq have done an outstandingly brave job in incredibly difficult circumstances and the Mirror will always support our soldiers unequivocally, even though we opposed the political decision to wage this war."
While the authenticity of these pictures is still being decided, one writer on an anti-Bush Yahoo group was convinced that pictures made widely available on the Internet "showing" soldiers apparently engaged in forced sexual relations with Iraqi women are staged.
She wrote (
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ihatebushfanclub/message/100470 ), "While other pictures shown have been proven authentic, the pictures of middle eastern women being raped by soldiers are from a US pay-for- porn website..they are NOT real. If they were I'd be right there saying it. They are not real. They are staged for the porn site Uniform Domination.'"
The individual pleaded, "Please make sure this gets out...some of the pics released to media lately ARE real..some are staged for US porn companies of which there are dozens doing the 'Mid east girl/US Soldier' rape 'fantasy'...enough have died for lies....as sickening as it is in itself, please let people know the truth."
The site to which that individual referred appears to be hosted in Amsterdam. An e-mail to the site owner asking for comment was not immediately returned. Neither was an e-mail to the writer to the Yahoo group.

Kyla that's what sets them apart from us. They have no respect for life as we know it (from conception on). They have no respect for those who serve our country, be it the President or the people who are injured or killed serving this country. They are atheists, void of souls...pure evil. Communists who only want to see the destruction of Christianity, liberty and all life that doesn't follow the line..their line. One day, when the next Civil War starts because true patriots have had enough, they will meet their end in the cesspool of their own excrement and their god [lucifer/mohammed/hedonism/humanism et al] will not save them, nor will their gods hear their cries of agony in their eternal separation from the one true God.
Vultures will feast in those days on the enemies of righteousness, and there will be no one to bury their bodies.

I wonder if we will have or already have a carrier off the coast of Turkey for President Bush to sleep on as he did with the G-8 Summit before 9-11. And speaking of G-8 that's coming up too. They have the sky covered, but let's not forget about the diver stories.

Air restrictions for G-8 to extend from S.C. into Fla.
Associated Press
SAVANNAH, Ga. - All of Georgia's 100-mile coastline, and portions of neighboring South Carolina and Florida, will fall under federal flight restrictions during next month's G-8 summit of world leaders at Sea Island.
The temporary restrictions by the Federal Aviation Administration won't affect commercial airliners. But private planes, from corporate jets to crop dusters, will face heavy constraints.
The summit air security plan, which FFA officials outlined for local pilots Monday, covers flights within a 30-mile radius of Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah - where President Bush and other world leaders will arrive by plane June 8 and depart June 10.
It also covers airspace within a 40-mile radius of McKinnon Airport on St. Simons Island, where the leaders will be taken by helicopter after landing in Savannah. St. Simons sits next to the Sea Island summit site.
