BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Witnesses say a suicide attacker has detonated a car bomb at the gates of U.S. base in Mosul, killing at least two Iraqis.

yes , sleep is hard with what is uncovered here but the upside is we are very informed

I have a question. Have more scary things happened in the past few days, or is it just that you guys on this thread find everything?

[JustPiper]

We have a few posters who normally summarize incidents that are noteworthy, they are MIA?

Where are you guys, we need you!

SURE would like

half a DOZEN

ways to connect.

But . . . eventually, I actually believe

that Holy Spirit is going to have to be our connection.

That will be interesting!

"I just think staying here is a good choice, but having the ability to ban individual users or banish them to only post in a "Time Out Bench" area."

I'm wondering if there is any feasible (keyword) way to incorporate a peer rating system, somewhat similar to that used by e-bay, where if you tick so many people off, they have the ability to "vote you off the island"? I don't know if this is feasible, but if it is, it might take some of the burden off the mods? Just my humble $.02.

[angcat]

Well let me tell you log off now for the sake of your family. Because you will be biting your nails, scaring your children advising husband of attack dates, ducking when planes fly over house, jumping when cats walk by....ect. ect. ect.

Chuckle. YOu got post 666.

By IAN URBINA

Published: March 20, 2004


hen a manhole explosion shook the East Village restaurant where Ken Petricig was eating on Tuesday, several people dropped their forks.

"We were all the way down the block, and the whole place went thud," he said. "There must have been unusual conditions for that kind of a jolt."

SECTION III

FINDINGS:

PEPCO’S RECENT MANHOLE EVENTS

Pepco is committed to investigating all manhole fires or explosions within its system to determine possible causes and possible ways to prevent them from happening again. The following section provides a summary of the findings relative to the internal investigation of recent manhole events, as well as the investigation by 3rd party forensics and other experts relative to the February 18th Georgetown manhole fire. Pepco is enhancing its current maintenance and manhole fire mitigation programs, the purpose of which is to safeguard the public through both enhanced prevention and damage control methods.

This section will first summarize the recent Georgetown Manhole Fire (February 18, 2000), present the findings of the forensics and other experts and present conclusions relevant to Pepco’s mitigation efforts. The section will then turn to other recent manhole events and show how Pepco’s mitigation program will work to reduce both the occurrence and the associated damage of a manhole fire or explosion.

"Or, is there a reason we want to "hang" at FR instead?"

It's the big comfy couch;)We know how to navigate this place and there are so many knowledgable freepers to ping be it geology or ancient Persia...and some of our homeland security contacts are here for easy access when we come across the hot stuff.

[swarthyguy]

Just don't start talking about these incidents and stories with your friends and family.

They'll think you're nuts and start avoiding you.

Bringing up this stuff in get togethers these days is virtually being a skunk at a garden party.

People tend to avoid you. You upset their carefully constructed sense of order, decorum and control.

Peachy bastards, aren't they?

I am starting to believe the only solution is the extermination of the ME, so we can concentrate only on the cells here and cut off the means for them to migrate anymore, I still have it going through my head, how 5,000 of them would sneak into the camps in 91' Gulf War and were escorted here as so called political asylum to the US!

[freeperfromnj]

where if you tick so many people off, they have the ability to "vote you off the island"?

Now there's an idea -- LOL.

[JustPiper]

Wonder what that means? Q of all people getting 666?

[nwctwx]

I really think staying here would be best. I have seen splits of groups like this happen in other areas and it always fragments the posters. We do have many valuable resources at FR.

A dump site would be the best option IMO. Just a place where we could put valuable info (videos, etc.), linked from the front page.

[Velveeta]

That was an interesting site.

1937...that's not the one I remember, LOL!

[null and void]

It doesn't get any worse than that.

Stick around.

[Hegemony Cricket]

"Professionals"

That's what I'm thinkin' too...
