"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
I wonder about that too. We always hear about info from a detainee; where'd the "detainee" get his info?
Posting Guidelines
Broadly stated, the goals of this site are to further conservatism, expose political corruption, and recover a truly constitutional form of government. If these are not your goals, you may find another discussion site more suitable.
Free Republic expects users to follow a few simple posting guidelines (described below) and by posting to the forum you and others agree to abide by them. While Free Republic is not edited or censored, it does reserve the right to remove any postings that are considered inappropriate.
Examples of inappropriate posts are those that are off-subject or contain advertising, pornography, obscene material, racist material, Nazi (or other hate group) material, materials promoting violence, threats or illegal acts, etc.
These guidelines are intended to help maintain a useful amount of order in a large site like this and to promote better posting. They may be revised without notice. Users of Free Republic should also understand that this is a privately owned, not-for-profit site and that they are guests here. The owner reserves the right to revoke posting privileges and, when necessary, to permanently ban individuals.
Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.
Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button. (More on that below.)
Do keep it clean
A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars
and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.
Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.
Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.
Do stay on topic
If you are going to post an article, make sure you are placing it in the correct topic area.
Do include the original title - When you post an article, be sure to include the original title where appropriate. This helps users find the article and lessens the chance of a double post.
Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum
Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.
Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.
Don't spam - Post your message once. If you are not sure if it has posted, check the latest posts page.
Don't violate poster privacy - Don't reveal online another poster's phone number, address, or other information that the person hasn't already made public for everyone on Free Republic.
If you are asked for a friend's email address, the best advice usually is to forward the request to the friend. He or she can then decide whether to respond.
Don't play games
Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it, and don't misattribute a contribution you've made. (Parody exceptions would apply to the latter, of course, but it should be clear what you are doing.)
Don't be a whiner
If you really, really find Free Republic not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.
I do know I have heard good places like TM have fallen from the wayside by infighting and infilitrator's manipulation, so we must remain stronger here at TM and not allow that to happen!
Thank you O!
Everyone needs some slack sometimes. Everyone.
Bump!
The Brits just got the one eyed CaptHook mullah...maybe new stuff is surfacing from that. He had been on the west coast.
What is this? Details please?!
Bump!
yes, but who has him? where is he being held? is he someplace where the interrogation techniques can be, shall we say, liberal?
You posted to me to chill and then you keep it up?
Thats all I can find right now.
New Indiana lab to reflect bioterrorism concerns
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2027&ncid=2027&e=6&u=/chitribts/20040531/ts_chicagotrib/newindianalabtoreflectbioterrorismconcerns
Deeply honored that you would, at all.
Thanks tons.
I did not post for you to chill, merely that we all move on.
I was then called a "mole", and " an agent provacateurs".
I've been on the TM since the beginning. I did not post a lot, but I read everything.
When people attack me I will defend myself.
I'm not either.
I wonder, could we come up with a pledge toward keeping our focus to major on majors and minor on minors toward getting the crucial work of this thread done, mutually supportively while minimizing the lesser things AND ESPECIALLY PREVENTING LESSER THINGS FROM INJURING ONE ANOTHER!
I certainly make such a pledge now--to abide by such a guideline to the absolute best of my ability.
And if anyone words a better one--I'll be happy to sign on.
I've got a really dumb question! Is a monorail like an elevated train or what the heck is it. Yes I'm a country gal!
So true.
* inserts tongue in cheek * Honestly, I think we need to alert AG John Ashcroft that the Islamist Muslim terorist jihadis have turned the tables on us by finding a way to disrupt this thread.
Yes and it is electric.
I can't say for absolutely certain, of course.
However, I'm convinced that there are no such agents involved in this.
It just smells extensively like normal flawed humans with some anxieties, pride, chips on some shoulders, fatigue, frustrations etc.
And some strong convictions that THEIR perspective is the most accurate, righteous, patriotic, . . . whatever . . . of the several at issue.
never been to disney world? yes, its a train the rides on a track with one "rail", the train car straddles the rail (which is wide) and wheels propel it.
