A Safer World -- Thanks to President Bush
One month after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Italian port inspectors pried open a steel shipping container and stumbled across an extraordinary find: a complete command-and-control center full of operable computers, phones and satellite equipment. Also stowed away in the container was an Egyptian carrying airport security passes for Los Angeles International, New York Kennedy and Newark airports.(snip)

Excellent catch. I hope W mentions this when he's speaking about his plan for the WOT in NJ this morning.
I think it was a great find..that's why I brought it to the attention of dh, since that's what he used to design. He said that if the hot tap is done correctly, there will be no change in pressure. But he also qualified the statement saying that so much of the success of the ht requires experienced installers and the correct specs of the equipment used in the hot tap.
That was the issue that set off his BS meter. He also said that all the major companies that he deals with look out for this kind of stuff. You obviously can't protect thousands of miles of pipeline, but the do have their "ears to the ground".
Good AM all.

its not about bush or kerry. Its about the american policy that will not change as long as america supports the jews in palestine.
NYC must go. as well as LA.. the entire atlantic and pacific borders must be shut down. And it will be either leave the muslim lands or the plague will open up the heart of america to those trapped inside.

Big hugs to you, ExSoldier. I read your post about Bandit last evening and I could not think of anything to say. Nothing at all. I still can't.
I just offer you the absolute biggest and most loving hug and my prayers and my tears!
Amber also could not say anything, but she showed you her love and concern.
Your cute little guy Bandit is being held in God's heart until you return to him.
You and your family's obvious love for God's animal creatures is so appreciated.
God's Blessings to you especially at this time.

I wish I was. Unfortunately I'm here at work. The rally is pretty far south in Jersey near the PA border.
Hmmm...yes. We should keep a note of that.
He must be friends with EOM.

Why Didn't 99 Other Senators Close Up Shop Too?
Minnesota Senator Mark Dayton shuts down his office after a CIA briefing
By ELAINE SHANNON
When Senator Mark Dayton shut down his Washington office last week, ostensibly out of concern for his staff's safety, many on Capitol Hill wondered if the Minnesota Democrat knew something everyone else didn't. The answer, it turns out, is far from it. Dayton last month received the same briefing as his fellow Senators about a CIA worst-case scenario involving simultaneous terrorist attacks across the country. Yet he apparently took the hypothetical threat as an imminent one. "Most people who heard the briefing," sniffs an intelligence official, "understood the context. It was theoretical."
Even stranger, Dayton sent his staff home several days after the CIA toned down the dramatic multiple-attack scenario, which the intelligence community "no longer believed to be valid," says the official. The CIA's initial report conflicted sharply with assessments by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security that al-Qaeda is no longer able to mount synchronized spectacular events. In fact, fears of a pre-election attack have eased as an all-out push by law-enforcement and intelligence officers has failed to detect any trace of a terrorist cell operating in the U.S. "It's about as quiet as it can possibly be," says a top counterterrorism official. But he and others remain watchful. It was eerily calm before 9/11 too. Dayton's press secretary says the Senator has had "no second thoughts" about the closing.

Sounds to me like a contradiction.
No problem, everything is nice and calm.
Then again, it was the same right before 9/11.
Well, hello, duh???

Ah well, at least you won't be stuck in rally traffic.
It's an interesting coincidence, at least.
LOL, no doubt.
