How a Lone Diplomat Compromised the Hunt for Bin Laden
From the Keystone Diplomat Department, a real head-shaker from the New York Sun, with thanks to Romy:
Ambassador Nancy Powell, America's representative in Pakistan, refused to allow the distribution in Pakistan of wanted posters, matchbooks, and other items advertising America's $25 million reward for information leading to the capture of Mr. bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders.
Instead, thousands of matchbooks, posters, and other material - printed at taxpayer expense and translated into Urdu, Pashto, and other local languages - remained "impounded" on American Embassy grounds from 2002 to 2004, according to Rep. Mark Kirk, Republican of Illinois.
While the American government was engaged in a number of "black" or covert intelligence activities to locate Al Qaeda leaders, Mr. Kirk said, the "white" or public efforts - which have succeeded in the past in leading to the capture of wanted terrorists - were effectively shut down in the months following the September 11 attacks.
Mr. Kirk discovered Ms. Powell's unusual order in January 2004 and, over the past year, launched a series of behind-the-scenes moves that culminated in a blunt conversation with President Bush aboard Air Force One, the removal of the ambassador, and congressional approval for reinvigorating the hunt for Mr. bin Laden.

Every night when I lay down and everyday when I wake up, I cannot phantom letting a human being starve/dehydrate to die, I just don't know how this country gets away with this cruelty. It's obvious how much Teri wants to live somewhere in her soul for many would have given up by Day 11
Father fears doctors will hasten Schiavo's death
"I have a grave concern that they'll expedite the process to kill her with an overdose of morphine," Bob Schindler told the press Monday outside the hospice where his 41-year old daughter is a patient.
"She's alive and she's fighting like hell to live," he added, remarking on his daughter's "amazing, amazing endurance."

Still obscure. However, al Qaeda Organisation for Holy War is the same as a new e-zine.

Me knows you're correct
I got what I call the heebie jeebie eeries when I passed an Amoco facility right outside O'Hare, it has a dozen enormous tanks and I've complained for a long time, seemingly not protected. I always envision a SAM hitting one and thousands, I mean many thousands would die. It is located right by the trailer court where the O'Hare plane crash of May 25, 1979 at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and resulted in 273 deaths.
Anything further on this A41? Have you been able to find out the person's name?

Grrrrrr
The Homeland Security Department approved 10,000 more applications for visas for high-tech and specialty workers than Congress permitted for this fiscal year. The mistake was made with H1-B visas, available to foreigners with a bachelor's degree or higher who want to fill U.S. jobs in architecture, engineering, medicine, biotechnology and computer programming.
Only 65,000 H1-B visas are supposed to be given out this fiscal year, although Congress let the department exempt from the limit 20,000 foreigners with graduate degrees from American universities.
More likely the reason for sabotage
