The I know where OBL and now Zarqawi is leaks, gives me the idea that they are hoping to flush them out.
Reminds me of calling the kids and not one comes, but yell,
I am having ice cream, and you get a house full.
Of course, I am remembering the good ole days when our kids
were free and played outdoors for hours.
This link says that the Army knows where Zarqawi is...

Thanks for posting that....
"Bugged by U.S. questions about the wisdom of letting Khalil run free, Mr. Musharraf finally ordered him arrested in March 2004 -- only to have him surface again seven months later a free man. When news broke of the FBI arrests in Lodi (where 2,500 of the town's 62,000 residents are Pakistanis and Pakistani Americans), Khalil slipped underground and the authorities said they couldn't find him."

Maybe he's in LODI!!!
BYW, Pakistani population in Lodi in 2000 was 700.
Sacramento County Sees Rise In Tuberculosis Cases KCRA-TV, CA - Jun 7, 2005 SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The rise in tuberculosis worldwide is posing a threat in the United States, especially to Californians, according to experts.
Yes, I saw that, it does make one think.
China and Russia are both waiting for us to get weak.
Cuba and the likes are only waiting for the go signal from
Russia and China.
The muslim terrorists are only nipping at our heels, but it
serves a purpose, it has caused much of the country to support the terrorist as in this thread.

Discussion of TPPP on TM many moons ago. I can't remember the context. Anyone?
Is it me, or are you noticing that there is a lot of nuclear talk in the last month? The word shows up in too many articles.
from your last link:
He called on President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin to accelerate
U.S.-assisted nuclear security efforts in Russia and to overcome bureaucratic
entanglements that have retarded progress in the effort.
Security has been upgraded for only about 26 percent of an estimated 600 tons
(tonnes) of weapons-useable nuclear material in Russia that exists outside nuclear
weapons.
'DISASTER' WARNING
CIA Director Porter Goss told the Senate in February that enough nuclear material
to build a weapon is missing from Russian storage sites.
"Unless we greatly elevate our effort and the speed of our response, we could
face disaster," Nunn added.
Monday's forum was sponsored by the 9/11 Public Discussion Project, a nonprofit
group founded by the bipartisan commission that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks on Washington and New York.
Many of the commission's recommendations for reforming U.S. intelligence have
been embraced by the Bush administration or were formulated into law last year by
Congress.
Former commissioners are holding a series of forums this summer to look at how
the administration and Congress have implemented those recommendations. They
intend to issue a "report card" around the anniversary of the attacks.
Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network and allied militant groups hope to buy or steal
nuclear material for a weapon that could be used in an attack that would dwarf
Sept. 11, intelligence officials have said.
"A terrorist nuclear attack on one of our cities could kill hundreds of thousands of
people. It could shatter our economy, erode our civil liberties, give blackmail power
to the terrorist group that carried out the attack," Nunn said.
Former Energy Department official Leonard Spector said the United States was
likely to see an attack with a so-called dirty bomb that could spew radioactive
material across an entire city neighborhood.
(this is only part of the article)
May God keep you safe.
Bogus analysis led to terror alert in Dec. 2003
CIA experts saw a secret code on Al-Jazeera that wasn't

I am confused. Is the CIA saying it's analysis is bogus or is Al-Jazeera denying broadcasting secret codes?
Yes, I had read that TB is on the increase.
Also on the east coast and I thought a state in the south.
Forgot which and didn't see them on a quick google, will keep an eye on Promed emails for an update.
The below article is pretty good on the basics of TB, i had forgotten that it traveled thru the air........

Found this report of a bomb threat.
My first thought was scuba diver and illegal alien employees, but that may have been up north.
There have been threats that a plane would fly into one of them.
This source should be noted, it is the first time that I have found a report of a bomb threat report that was made by
a Park Ranger.

Bomb Threat at Turkey Point Nuclear Power
Plant
Biscayne National Park (FL)
Bomb Threat at Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant
Officials at the nuclear power plant at Turkey Point, located just a half mile from park
headquarters and bordering the park, received a phone call advising them of a bomb threat
to the facility around 10 p.m. on Thursday evening.
The land side of the plant was secured, and the Coast Guard was called for assistance in
patrolling the water side of the property. The Coast Guard then called the park for
assistance, since they couldn’t be on scene for 45 minutes. Rangers Tom Rutledge and John
Bittner responded and secured the area until it was determined that there was no longer a
threat.

Now that's interesting.

Press Releases
Fact Sheet: Security and Prosperity Partnership
On March 23, 2005, the United States, Canada and Mexico entered into an unprecedented trilateral Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) to establish a common security strategy and promote economic growth, competitiveness and quality of life. At their meeting in Waco, TX, President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin pledged to:
“...establish a common approach to security to protect North America from external threats, prevent and respond to threats within North America, and further streamline the secure and efficient movement of legitimate, low-risk traffic across our shared borders.”
The elected leaders called for Ministerial-led working groups to consult with stakeholders in each country and establish working groups to develop measurable and achievable goals. Within 90 days, the Ministers were to submit an initial, trilateral report. Because the SPP is designed to be an ongoing mechanism for trilateral cooperation, the working groups will continue to meet on a regular basis.
To further North American security goals, the elected leaders called for the three countries to:
Implement common border security and bioprotection strategies
Enhance critical infrastructure protection and implement a common approach to emergency response
Implement improvements in aviation and maritime security, combat transnational threats, and enhance intelligence partnerships
Implement a border facilitation strategy to build capacity and improve the legitimate flow of people and cargo at our shared borders
Implementation Report
The SPP countries have agreed to these, and other, North American security goals:
North American Trusted Traveler Program. All three countries have agreed to create a single, integrated program for North American trusted travelers by 2008. Individuals applying for trusted traveler status would be able to apply for the program and pay relevant fees in one transaction. Enrolled participants would have access to all established trusted travel lanes at land crossings, airports and marine programs. A single North American Trusted Traveler Program embodies the intent of the SPP to establish optimum security goals while accelerating legitimate cross-border trade and travel. The U.S. will also be working cooperatively to identify Western Hemisphere travel document standards required under the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004.
Preparedness and Incident Management Systems Integration. The United States, Canada and Mexico have agreed to transform North American preparedness for response to large-scale incidents by establishing protocols for incident management that impact border operations within 12 months. Protocols will also address maritime incidents, cross-border public health emergencies and cross-border law enforcement response.
The SPP countries have also committed to ensure interoperable communications systems and to participate in preparedness exercises that will strenuously test these protocols. In addition, the three countries will participate in a preparedness exercise in anticipation of the 2010 Vancouver/Whistler Winter Olympics.
Border Enforcement. The United States and Mexico will form joint intelligence-sharing task forces along the U.S.-Mexico border to target criminal gang and trafficking organizations and reduce violence along the border.
The United States and Canada will coordinate maritime enforcement programs to address the huge volume of boat traffic in our shared waterways.
Facilitated Flow of Legitimate Cargo and Travel Across Land Borders. The United States, Canada and Mexico have agreed to review our transportation and border facility needs, in partnership with stakeholders, and develop a plan to prioritize future port-of-entry-related infrastructure investments.
All three countries are considering programs to reduce transit times and border congestion by expanding trusted traveler programs to additional ports of entry and partnering with public and private sector stakeholders to establish “low-risk” ports of entry for the exclusive use of those enrolled in our trusted trade and traveler programs.
The United States and Canada, along with local stakeholders, are working to reduce the transit times by 25 percent at the Detroit-Windsor gateway within 6 months, and all three countries are exploring ways to expand this innovative 25 Percent Challenge to other North American land border crossings within the next 18 months.
By December of this year, the United States and Canada governments expect to complete an agreement on a pre-clearance pilot program at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo, NY, contingent on Canadian legislative amendments. Within six months, both countries will also develop a plan to expand the Vancouver NEXUS-Air pilot program to other United States air pre-clearance sites in Canada and examine the feasibility of expanding the eligibility for NEXUS-Air to include Mexican nationals.
Shared Watchlists and Integrated Traveler Screening Procedures. The United States, Canada and Mexico have agreed to strengthen information sharing related to terrorists and criminals. Effective information exchange among North American countries is essential to strengthening our capability to prevent acts of terror within and outside North America.
The United States, Canada and Mexico have also agreed to establish compatible screening standards for land, sea and air travel to identify and prevent high risk travelers and cargo before they depart for North America. Additionally, recommendations will be made on the enhanced use of biometrics in screening travelers destined to North America.
On an ongoing basis, the SPP will enable all three countries to address and resolve gaps in cross-border information sharing. Ultimately, all travelers arriving in North America will experience a comparable level of screening.
Maritime and Aviation Security. The SPP countries will also be working toward comparable standards for hold baggage and passenger screening, implementing no-fly programs throughout North America, and developing new protocols for air cargo inspection. Likewise, we will also be working to develop compatible maritime regulatory regimes and to strengthen information sharing and coordinated operations in the maritime domain.
SPP Accomplishments – The First 90 Days
Building upon strong relations and major security advances made since 9/11, the three countries have already taken several important steps on trilateral or bilateral initiatives that advance our common North American security agenda. Highlights of progress made during SPP’s first 90 days, include:
Cargo and Port Security
The three countries jointly promoted the newly adopted World Customs Organization’s Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade, which for the first time in history establishes common standards for secure trade at all major international ports
United States and Canadian officials conducted three port security exercises to evaluate joint response capability to terrorist attacks in the Great Lakes area
United States and Canada completed 94 joint initial verification exams of vessels in the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes, to ensure compliance with international security regulations
United States and Canada have implemented a NEXUS-Marine pilot program in Windsor-Detroit for seasonal boaters
Public Safety
United States and Mexican officials recently agreed to establish a standardized Alien Smuggler Prosecutions Program, which expands upon previous efforts to identify and prosecute violent human smugglers
Border Infrastructure
United States and Mexican governments have completed the reviews necessary to approve construction of two new commercial lanes at Nogales, AZ; construction is scheduled to be completed within 6 months, with an opening by November 2005
United States and Canada have identified the site for the second land pre-clearance pilot program at the Thousand Island Bridge; all Canadian border operations will be re-located from Lansdowne, Ontario to Alexandria Bay, NY
United States and Canadian governments have reached an agreement to increase capacity on the United States side of the Blue Water Bridge by 17 percent. Improvements at the Detroit-Windsor gateway are planned for early this fall
Information Sharing
United States and Canadian governments have agreed to exchange officers between their respective facilities, the National Targeting Center in the U.S. and the Nationals Risk Assessment Centre in Canada, to help improve coordination and enhance information sharing
Science & Technology
United States and Canadian authorities have completed a comprehensive Coordinated Risk Assessment to identify and prioritize major collaborative science and technology initiatives and are expected to complete their final report late this summer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CNSNews.com) - Dozens of U.S. House members who sponsored the nationwide instant background check system for gun buyers in 1993 or backed the expansion of that system in 2002, have shown no support for a similar database intended to identify illegal aliens trying to find work in the U.S.
At least one member who supported the gun control measure is challenging the proposal to crack down on illegal immigrants."
