>> I have seen my kids explode hardboiled eggs in the microwave <<
LOL!! Can't stop laughing at that one. I may have to try that....
My bad on the banana. However, what are the priorities for the terrorists IF they are going to expose themselves to that level of risk? How far do you think they'll get after they stop firing? What is the cost - benefit analysis (and don't think they don't do such a thing). What provides them with the biggest bang for their buck? Look today at Iraq, what is the mass casuality weapon of choice: Some jihadi's with AK-47s firing full auto or a single car bomber. It is the car bomb. Less exposure to the cell, greater payoff.
Here it is 16F, wind chill -9F, but only a dusting of snow last night.
Thanks for finding/posting that report Mossad.
Yes - they are part of the Axis of Evil.
I know that there has been conjecture, but I wasn't sure if it was stated that AQ was using Iran or if Iran was using AQ for their attacks against the US...I'm looking for definite documentation of the connection between the two, if any...
I would try globalsecurityus.com or intel center.com for some reports. the CIA world fact book also has some goog information.
Cold as HECK here, too! Buuuuuuurrrrr It's just GOT to be about 55 degrees outside! :~)
LOL
Santa knows the difference between sand and snow!
HALIFAX (CP) -- Travellers flying from Halifax International Airport to the United States will soon have the option of pre-clearing U.S. Customs and Immigration, federal officials announced Friday.
Once the pre-clearance facility is completed -- expected within the next 18 months -- Halifax will become the eighth Canadian airport to offer this service. The airports in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal already offer pre-clearance.
The pre-clearance process means travellers to the United States should enjoy shorter connections at American hub airports, and expanded service to U.S. airports without federal inspection facilities.
The program allows travellers and their goods to be inspected by U.S. officers for the purposes of customs, immigration, public health, food inspection and plant and animal health before flights depart from Canada for U.S. destinations.
The news was welcomed by Nova Scotia Premier John Hamm. "With a U.S. Customs and Immigration pre-clearance facility at the airport, it makes it easier to do business and travel between the United States and Nova Scotia," Hamm said in a release.

TORONTO (CP) - Ontario Muslims should have the same rights as Catholics and Jews in the province to seek arbitration based on religious laws for family disputes and inheritance cases, concludes a report by former attorney general Marion Boyd.
Some Muslim groups called Boyd's report "naive," and said she fell victim to pressure from right-wing fundamentalists who want to use the 1,400-year-old Sharia law to settle divorces and custody disputes for Muslims in Ontario. "We're being very clear, this is not Sharia law," said Boyd.
"This is Muslim religious principles within Canadian law."
Boyd said her report avoided the term "Sharia" law because as practiced in Middle East countries it combines criminal and civil laws, and allows the death penalty for adultery. It also considers a woman's testimony to be worth half that of a man's.

There is a Smyrna in Ohio as well, I believe.
Suddenly in North Korea pictures of Kim Jong Il, the peoples Dear Leader by unchallengeable fiat, have gone missing. Comparative photos taken in a Peoples Cultural Center auditorium in May and August of this year have piqued outside interest in the future of Kim Jong Il. The earlier photo portrays what we have come to think of as the usual adulatory presentation: a portrait of Kim Jong Il side-by-side with one of his father Kim Il Sung, the modestly self-proclaimed Great Leader, dominates the head of the auditorium,. The late summer shot shows the KJI portrait missing so that the late elder Kims portrait stands alone. All very mysterious.

It is not that difficult either to obtain materials for bombs either. There are many creative means not requireing standard materials and for the few special items, like blasting caps,etc, they can be obtained via black market. Again, the key point is what provides the most bang for their buck and someone shooting off an AK-47 doesn't compare to an explosive.
And offered to collaborate with AQ some time ago.

Japan tells North Korea time is short
The Associated Press Tuesday, December 21, 2004
TOKYO Japan's foreign minister has warned North Korea that it is running out of time to halt its nuclear weapons programs and risks having the international community impose economic sanctions on it.
The foreign minister, Nobutaka Machimura, said during a talk show Sunday on Japan's public broadcaster NHK that North Korea should stop stalling in its participation in six-nation talks on its nuclear programs.
"North Korea needs to recognize that it doesn't have much time left," Machimura said. "Everything has its limit. If the current situation is prolonged, we will be forced to consider tougher measures, or sanctions, through the international community, or the United Nations."
Separately, Japan has considered sanctions to punish what Tokyo considers Pyongyang's insincere accounting of Japanese citizens kidnapped by North Korean agents in the 1970s and '80s.
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi promised South Korea's president during a summit meeting Friday that Tokyo would hold off imposing economic sanctions on North Korea for now. North Korea said last week that it would treat sanctions as a "declaration of war."
