You're a treasure Knak. Wonder if they are pursuing the other sites on the internet who have copies and posts in a manner similar to what they allude here. I'm removing that website from my "favorite places." Don't need it anymore.
Wouldn't we have expected this from them?
I think (hope) you are more right than wrong!
I don't know how many Americans are alert enough to ask such questions, though.
More are of the type of shoot first and ask questions later, if at all.
Suicide car bombing kills 51 in Iraq

The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) A suicide car bomb exploded outside a police recruiting center in Baqouba on Wednesday, killing 51 Iraqis in the worst attack in Iraq since the United States transferred sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government last month, officials said.
The attacker drove a car carrying explosives up to the crowd of people gathered outside the al-Najda station in Baqouba to apply for police jobs, said Gen. Walid al-Azawi, chief of police in Diyala Province....

I have all along.
I'm wondering this as well..
I think JR would consider it fair game for us to discuss the "unmentionable issue" as it is now in the public domain, but NOT to post the copyrighted (?) stuff from the "unmentionable site".
Personally, I think the whole thing is a bunch of pocus. IF there had been a REAL terrorist nuke that was "detonated" off the Atlantic Shelf under a whole bunch of water, we'd have a lot more evidence of it. (Dead/glowing [pun] marine life, seismographic data from all over the place, etc).
This said, I do find it interesting that radio show guests are picking up on the story. Wonder what the background/credibility of the guest on this particular show was. Might be interesting to find out. Doesn't sound like we're talking about some "out there" show on this one. If the story comes to PMSNBC, etc..then it's got teeth.
The absence of all of this says to me that the story is bunk.
Just MHO, and hoping I'm coloring within the lines here on what we can/can't talk about on this subject.
Drunk people in Boston. Who would have thought. :)
Thanks Cindy for the updates. Sorry I missed you.
Here's the deal for those who missed yesterday. The proprietors of a certain website also publish a copyrighted newsletter for a fee. The newsletter contains a story about the nuke incident that allegedly occurred about two weeks ago. The proprietors of the website/newsletter, directly and/or through shrills and trolls, promoted the story, newsletter, and website by openly discussing it on radio and on various forums including FR, and specifically TM. No one complained about copyright infringement as long as the sheeples said nice things about the article and the authors. Over the last few days, however, several people here and at other forums, challenged, criticized, and attempted to debunk the nuke story. After a several month absence, one of the proprietors of the website/newsletter suddenly showed up hereusing his well known screen name. A flame war broke out, and the proprietor of the website/newsletter threatened JimRob and others with a copyright infringement and defamation lawsuit. Out of an abundance of caution, Mr. Robinson yanked hundreds of threads, banned the antagonizer, and asked us to refrain from discussing that particular website and newsletter. You can agree or disagree with JimRob's decision, but the "golden rule" dictates and therefore, please respect his decision and do not discuss that website, newsletter, or article.
The guest that was on the Roth radio show was, Doug Hagman of NEIN. That should explain it. No we have to drop it

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Court papers indicate a driver stopped on an Iowa highway this month was found with flight-training manuals, Arabic documents and night-vision goggles.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Court papers say a motorist stopped along Interstate 80 earlier this month told state troopers he knew people tied to al-Qaida, and that there were terrorist plans to shoot trams and trains in San Diego.
Michael Wagner, 44, of San Diego, pleaded not guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Des Moines to being a felon in possession of body armor and weapons. Officials said they found flight-training manuals, Arabic documents and night-vision goggles in the vehicle Wagner was driving.
According to court documents obtained by The Associated Press, Wagner told Iowa troopers he had knowledge of terrorist activities and people and groups tied to al-Qaida and the Taliban. Wagner also said that he knew about things in the Muslim communities in San Diego that federal agencies would be interested in.
Wagner told the officer he had no identification and gave a false name.
