The author of that article is a noted Iran scholar, so he probably is well aware of the situation. Can be seen on FNC at times.
(He's also sometimes a freeper, and a really nice guy, have conversed with him before.)
Not really. One of my friends got a near lethal dose. In a matter of a few seconds his vision tunneled down to nothing and he blacked out. No pain, very quick.
He woke up a few minutes later with no lasting effects - typical of cyanide, if it doesn't kill you outright, it usually doesn't permanently damage you.
In my case, I got just enough to smell, from residue on my gloves as I pushed up my glasses with the back of my wrist.
If Cuba really has any harsh intention the G-8 is it.

I'm glad you don't write greeting cards for a living.
Wow!
The impression I have is that even thought they have been on the FBI list for some time now, the authorities believe that these seven are definitely related to the current chatter/threat, hence today's BOLO for these particular individuals.
I added your list to the TM back-up site.
Good save - Dogs alerted to explosives at gate; two detained by INS
Two men driving a rental truck were detained Friday when they attempted to enter the base without proper credentials. Their action prompted officials to close the Franklin Gate and a half-mile area off base as a preventive measure after a military working dog alerted to potential explosives in the truck's cab.
An Atlanta-based moving and storage company contracted the rental truck and drivers for a household goods pickup on base.
Upon entering the base, one of the occupants could not provide the proper credentials so security officials instructed them to go to the Franklin Gate Pass and ID office.
As a precaution, the watch commander alerted the base police to the situation.
''I instructed the watch commander to secure the site, sweep the area, call in the MWD Unit, EOD, NCIS as well as local authorities, '' said Bud Lett, operations officer at NSB Kings Bay.
The men and the vehicle were held at the Franklin Gate Pass and ID parking lot while a routine visual vehicle search was conducted using a military working dog. During the search, the dog alerted to a briefcase located in the truck cab and Explosive Ordnance Detach-ment Kings Bay personnel removed the briefcase using a remote controlled robot, but they found no explosives. Further checks of the vehicle by the dog produced no further hits or alerts.
''The guards at the gate, the EOD detachment, as well as at the Franklin Gate Pass and ID station did an exceptional job,'' said Lett. ''Their performance was a textbook performance and we couldn't ask for a better group on the watch.''
Echoing that comment, NSB Kings Bay Executive Officer Cmdr. Mark Davis said Kings Bay personnel, including BOSC security, Navy security and EOD performed superbly in detecting an unusual situation, assessing it, and responding in a measured and effective manner.
NCIS detained the two men, both Israeli citizens, and turned them over to Immigration Naturalization Service in Savannah for further disposition and deportation. The men are identified as Tamir David Sasson, 24, and Daniel Henry Levy, 23, both of Metar, a settlement located outside of
Beer-Sheva, Israel. One of the men was missing an I-94 form from his passport and both did not have work permits, according to an NCIS official.
Yes, someone figured it out. It was either 911 or depending on time zone 912 days, but it was eerily on target.
Great. I'm going to be a booth bunny at a biotech trade show 6/7 thru 6/9.
Pray for me...
Egypt's President Mubarak announced yesterday that he will not attend the G-8 summit because of disagreements and "other commitments." (I wonder what he knows.)

Also, I read that June 8th is 1000 days after September 11, 2001, but I haven't counted.
June 8th is also the Transit of Venus.
Oooops!
Yahoo back-up site still up. ;-)
That's my thinking too
LOL! I've been meaning to ask you, are the owls acting squirrelly?
{{{Well he doesn't look too scary}}}
If you are hinting that I contacted Mr. Robinson, then you are very wrong.
He has never felt the need to ask for my opinion and I would not dare to offer mine to him.
So please lay off......I have had enough of your games.
