Lebanon discloses first network for al-Qaida organization on its land
Lebanon, Local, 9/23/2004

Lebanon has disclosed for the first time that there is a network for al-Qaida organization led by Osama Bin laden on its land linked to similar networks in Arab and European countries. This came following information from Italy on an operation targeting its embassy in Beirut.


snip

He explained that the role of this network, which he gave no definite name, is to recruit youths to carry out operations against the occupation forces in Iraq." This was explained in a press conference dedicated by the minister to announce "details permitted by investigations" with 10 members detained during search operations which started from Saturday when the Lebanese security sides received information from Italy on a likely attack against its embassy in Beirut. Al-Murr indicated that most of the detainees are Lebanese in addition to some Palestinians including one woman.

(Remind me to tell anyone who is interested why I walked out of Rutgers law School and moved my family from New Jersey after a short speech for prospective students by the admissions office of the law school.)

Okay, you piqued my curiosity. Give us the story!

Okay -- so there I am in some classroom in Rutger's law in Newark. As a good Jersey boy, I'd never been to the City of Newark -- though I had flown from the Airport many times.

I drive down MLK Blvd. toward the School, and I am directed to a parking lot with an 8 foot fence with round razor-blade wire on it. (I am thrilled in my nifty red convertible).

Once I passed the metal detector to enter the School, I exchange some nice chat with other prospective students. In one of the presentations, the rubber hits the road.

After hearing a Professor descibe how great he legal clinics are, the ponytailed Prof. uses as an example, his recent work with law students to help a triple murderer in one of the Carolina's get a change of menu, as he had converted to a new religion. (At this point, I am leaning out of my seat toward the door -- my wife sensing my disdain.)

Then for the moment of truth!

Up comes the assistant admissions director. I believe that was her title. She said something in that class that almost sounded tawdry. It was awkward, in that I felt like she was telling a secret she should not have. She said, and this is a quote:

"The program we are most proud of here, is our 33% set-aside admissions programs for minorities. These people do not have to meet the same LSAT or admissions requirements as our other applicants."

End direct quote. She then added a few lines about the importance of diversity in understanding the law.

I leaned over to my wife -- the girl I met in a small Jersey town in the second grade, and said, "we're moving to Virginia." I stood up in the middle of her presentation and worked across the crowded room to walk out.

I never looked back. I sent the woman a letter protesting the discrimination and registering my disgust. I never even received the courtesy of a response. (It cost me 10K in extra tuition, but at what cost would one sell his or her principles.)

It was a shocking experience -- and one that led me from my home state to my new adopted home in Virginia. (While I live in Liberal occupied Northern Virginia, I did go to one of the few conservative law schools in the Country, George Mason.)

For those of you still in Jersey -- send Rutgers a letter and see if that public school is still discriminating with your tax dollars.

Here is a link about an upcoming fasting event. Always freaks me out when I see specific dates listed at some of these sites. Wasn't the original "Countdown Clock" hosted at Khayma.com ???

Alsalamo Alikom wa Rahmato ALLAH wa Baraktuh

Dear brothers and sisters

 

I want to remind myself and all of you to do fasting at the three white days. It is a common rubric SUNNA and rewarded as fasting the whole life as mentioned in Hadith sahih.

 

These days are called three white days because the full moon shine at their nights.

 

Scholars explained how doing fast of these days as fasting the whole life by saying that

The good deed (hassanat) is rewarded 10 times its value

So if any one fasts those 3 days then it will be as fasting (3*10 = 30 days = 1 month), and if he keep doing that every month it will be as fasting the whole life. 

 

The 3 white days are the 13, 14, and 15 of each arabic (moon) month. It will agree in the current arabic month (SHAABAN) next  Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday OR 28, 29, 30 September  2004.

 

May ALLAH Accept our fasting

 

Plz Forward this message now and do not make it stop at ur PC

Dear China we pay lots of taxes on our gas. Could we also get a loan? LOL


Update 2: Russia: China Will Pay for Oil Deliveries
09.23.2004, 03:49 PM

The head of Russia's state-owned railroad network said Thursday that a Chinese oil company would cover the embattled Yukos oil company's rail transport bills for October, the Interfax news agency reported.

Earlier this week, Yukos announced it would cut 100,000 barrels per day of crude supplies to China's National Petroleum Corp., as the beleaguered Russian company fights to pay off crippling back tax bills of about $7 billion.

George Mason=Walter Williams

He is one of the greats. I was sitting on the Board of Vistors for the University when he gave compelling testimony to raise standards at the undergrad level.

Other assiociated with George Mason in my time there and since include: Ed Meese, Bill Kristol, Ed Fuelner (He is the Heritage Foundation) and Ken Starr -- to name a few. I got to know Ed Meese, as we served together on the Board. He is a gentleman and a class act.

The was the best move I ever made!

I SHALL GO SURFING!!!!!!!!

Other things of concern are the reports of Adnan "Jakar the
Pilot" in Mexico, he's getting closer. Plus the incident
with Cat Stevens, I feel there is more up with this guy.

[WestCoastGal]

LOL I'm not. (I too send apologies for that) ha ha

Anyway, we are well protected here hopefully. It just seems as though somethings up. We are getting closer to the November deadline for the scumbags to do their thing. Then again, maybe we have received so much info from the last bunch that got caught with the computers that we have put a huge crimp in their plans.

I hope Mr RR gets home pretty soon!!
