Yeah trucks! I knew about the garbage trucks. When the Olympics came to Atlanta they were all over brand new garbage trucks. What people didn't know was in an instant the sides would fall open and you had full military personal locked and loaded.

Dear Lord remove the evil Zarqi from this earth and cast him to the pits of hell. Amen

Suspicious package found at federal facility

A hazardous materials team was summoned Tuesday to a federal building in northwest Dallas to check out a suspicious package.

A Dallas hazardous materials team responded to the building on Stemmons Freeway. Carl Rusnok, spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the envelope was found in the mail room at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices in the 8100 block of Stemmons Freeway near Mockingbird Lane.

The envelope, which had been mailed from Turkey, contained several smaller envelopes that were all empty. Dallas Fire-Rescue officials discovered it was emitting about three times the normal amount of radiation.

FBI officials have taken over the investigation; officials said the radiation was low enough to not pose a threat to anyone nearby but high enough to not easily be explained.

Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Lt. Joel Lavender said crews would be analyzing the substance by color and density, among other characteristics, to determine its makeup.

From 1st link to your post.

Pointing to a narrow sea lane south of Singapore that carries one-quarter of the globe's trade and nearly all oil imports for Japan and China, Lee says one big attack there could hit the world economy by crippling one of Asia's most critical waterways.

This might not be all bad! Jobs back to America. Ops sorry!

"Trial over Italian Islam 'insult'"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Fallaci is no stranger to controversy
Controversial Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci is to face trial for allegedly insulting the Muslim faith in her latest book, a court in Italy says.
Ms Fallaci is being sued by the head of the Muslim Union of Italy, who says The Force of Reason is defamatory.

The journalist caused an uproar with The Rage and the Pride, published two weeks after the 11 September attacks.

In it, she said Western culture was superior to Islam and Muslim immigrants in the West had "multiplied like rats".

Her lawyers have defended her right to express controversial opinions.

"At the heart of her thinking is the following reasoning: the fight against Islamic terrorism is made more difficult by intellectual terrorism cloaked in anti-racism," Gilles Goldhagen, said in 2002, when a French judge was hearing a case to ban The Rage and the Pride."
