UPDATE:Top French Officials Warn Of Terrorist Attack Risk


PARIS (AP)--The risk of terrorist attacks has never been greater in France, Europe and the world, French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said Thursday.

"Our vigilance must therefore be constant," Villepin said during a seminar on terrorism, adding that he had maintained France's terrorism alert rating at red - the second - highest level.

"The terrorist threat has never been as strong in our country, in Europe and in the world," he said. He didn't cite specific intelligence to explain the danger.

However, Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy told the gathering of police, defense and judicial officials that French intelligence services had information indicating the threat was "serious and "real." He didn't elaborate on the intelligence.

"When I say the threat is serious, it's not just a phrase," Sarkozy said. "I don't say that because we don't know, but because (information) of the specialized services forces us to say that." (snip)

Momentum Builds for Fence along U.S.-Mexican Border (11/17/05)

By Mimi Hall USA TODAY

A once-radical idea to build a 2,000-mile steel-and-wire fence on the U.S.-Mexican border is gaining momentum amid warnings that terrorists can easily sneak into the country.

In Congress, a powerful Republican lawmaker this week proposed building such a fence across the entire border and two dozen other lawmakers signed on. And via the Internet, a group called weneedafence.com has raised enough money to air TV ads warning that the border is open to terrorists...

Granny is my Hero.

We have been through some storms in life from drug problem with a grandchild, to suicide and the death of Hubby's 5 month grandchild from shaken baby syndrome. Not My Grand-baby.

Whenever I made myself come to FR just to catch up on the news Granny was always there with an e mail with wisdom, inspiration, kindness, recipes and LOVE.

Not to mention "The Granny Googles", she knew what I was interested in and somehow found time to send a google she knew I would read.

Granny IS a National Treasure and it is my honor to have met her. I love you ,Granny

Hi all... wanted to check in and let you know I'm alright. (o:

I've been having problems with my comp freezing up and running slow. The daily links list should be returning as soon as I can get 3 programs to open again without killing the system! LOL I've also been busy with the kids this last week and getting the house set for winter - over 6 inches of snow up here the day before yesterday! I forgot how cold this old house gets...

Well, I better hit post before my computer freezes up again. Take care everyone. (o:

Six inches of snow, you said, will you keep it there,
I am complaining becuase we are down to the 30's here.

If you figure out what is wrong with your computer, let me know, mine is about the same and I can't even get in Google Groups.

Be careful and stay safe.

Davey, I am so very glad you are back.

You already know that I love you.

I wouldn't know what to do without my Freeper kids.

Now if they would only mind when you talk to them.

Smiles and hugs.

WMD & Links to Terrorist - We Have A Right To Know
11-17-2005 | Me

Posted on 11/17/2005 12:45:55 PM PST by inpajamas

Does anyone know what happened with 42 pages of Arabic documents purported to have come from Iraq and leaked by a government official to CNS News? They contained information on ties between Iraq and international terrorist organizations and also shed some light on WMD programs. The Mainstream Media totally ignored them and did not deal with them at all, even to discredit them. They gave credence to the fake National Guard memos until they were proved to be forgeries but there was nothing about these documents which if authentic would be earth shattering. Why the silence? Why not an expose CNS News for pushing forged documents?, It was CNSNews that weeks before became the first NEWS service to break the story on the use of fake documents by CBS after the bloggers uncovered the fraud . If the CNS News documents are a farce why would not CBS or any other major media player pay them back? The contents of the documents are of such weight that they demand an answer as to their authenticity and where they came from . The pulic has a right to know and the people with the power to provide the answers have the responsibility to do so.

Here is the information as provided by CNSNews :
