I'm not certain what it means, but, I'm also not certain I want to go there :-)
You definitely do NOT want to go there.
Great set of links all4one.
Thanks.
You're welcome. I'm sure the licensing protocol differs in each state. Ours was issued by the county fire marshal. Unfortunately that could imply that some states have really lax rules. We also have enough reasons to handle the immigration problem. We just need the @*&#s to handle the illegals :-)
Illegal workers of Northrop Grumman subcontractor are arrested (Newport News shipyard)
Two illegal workers for a subcontractor of Northrop Grumman Newport News were arrested Friday for using fake documents to obtain work at the shipyard, the nations sole builder of nuclear-powered carriers.
Sang Bok Lee and Sang Han Yang are charged with falsely representing themselves as U.S. citizens to a subcontractor at Northrop Grumman. Court records say they are from Korea, but the paperwork does not specify whether it is North or South Korea. If convicted, they face a maximum of three years in prison and a fine. A preliminary hearing scheduled for Monday afternoon was postponed until Thursday.
Authorities said they were searching for a third suspect Monday. That individuals identity was not released.

Thanks. I defer to your inside knowledge.
"Lee and Yang each posted $5,000 bond Monday and were released following a hearing in U.S. District Court in Norfolk. No details of the case were discussed during Mondays brief court appearance. "
I bet we'll never see them again.
Whose bright idea was this, so release them on such low bond.
They could be N. Korean spies, for all we know.
Ummmm....Al Gore comes to mind!
Steven Emerson: AP is Biased and Conflicted in Reporting on Palestinians
An Associated Press story on Saturday (text below) reveals the sleight of hand in its reporting. This was as close to a press release for the Palestinians as I ever seen by the AP. But no surprise - the AP has a special relationship with the Palestinians which biases their reporting, as I will explain below. First, four points about the article:
1. The headline and story suggest a unanimity of Palestinian "anger" over the bombing, an assessment that the reporter could not possibly have ascertained.
2. The AP maintains the charade that there is universal Palestinian anger over the attack by uncritically reporting the nonsensical comment by Abbas that even "the prisoners" (i.e., Palestinian terrorists in Israeli prisons) were "outraged" by the attack.
3. The height of the reporter's lunacy is the paragraph starting with "If a Palestinian group were found to be responsible..." IF? Who are to we believe carried this out? An invisible suicide bomber beamed into Tel Aviv from Beirut? Moreover, Islamic Jihad released a video claiming responsibility for the attack.
4. Finally and not least, see the last paragraph. In order to show Palestinian "moderation" this time, the reporter cites the absence of celebrations as previously occurring in "dozens of other suicide bombings." Excuse me, but when did AP substantively report these celebrations in the past?

Gov't proposes to ban anonymous prepaid mobile-phone SIMs
By Frantisek Bouc
Feb. 24, 2005
Prepaid anonymous SIM cards such as Go, Oskarta and Twist could go the way of the dinosaurs if a parliamentary initiative aimed at cracking down on terrorists and other criminals is successful.

I think the CIA caused both explosions...
>>>Who are to we believe carried this out?
Well, that sort of thing used to be in the CIA's profile.
That was my same reaction ... and why would they still allow matches? Unbelievable.
PORT ISABEL, February 26, 2005 For 1,109 miles between Brownsville and the Florida Panhandle, the Intercoastal Waterway provides sheltered passage for commercial ships piloting around the Gulf of Mexico.
But the bay system it cuts through, a mazelike and loosely patrolled mixture of mangrove swamps, small, uninhabited islands and shallow sandbars, has made the Texas leg of the channel a haven for smugglers.
I cant tell you how bad were getting beat on the Intercoastal Waterways, said Will Glasby, the head of the McAllen office of U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
You get into the waterway and head north of the checkpoint to whatever towns there. Maybe no ones making loads through there, but it would be naive to think that.
The DEA is especially concerned about the roughly 100-mile stretch between Port Mansfield and Corpus Christi, a passage that allows smugglers to bypass the final Customs checkpoint in Sarita. While the waterway falls within the patrol areas of four separate state and federal agencies, the manpower dedicated to catching drug and human smugglers falls far below what is needed, said Capt. Ken Baker, head of the Brownsville station of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Its not just drugs; theres a lot of illegal alien traffic. Its been going on for a while. Theyre always looking for new avenues, especially those avenues of least resistance, he said.

We've heard this before.
You're welcome Jill.
The metal marker was inserted, huh?
Ok.
We are praying for you and all your
specific needs.
"Even as I am finding this info....I am hoping that my searches would no yield anything....but some days it's just one un-nerving find after another."
Well now, may I say that I completely and totally understand what you mean.
Cindy, were you able to see the tv rerun?
