THE VALUE OF PAYING ATTENTION...
jewishworldreview.com:
Shlomit was driving on a main highway in Israel, on her way to a town inside the green line, to visit her married daughter and grandchildren. She found herself behind a large garbage truck, but, not being in a hurry and preferring not to pass on a busy road, she drove contentedly along behind him, listening to a CD of Devora Gila, a religious female Joan Baez-type singer. The yellow license plate on the truck in front of her indicated that it was owned by an Israeli. The cars of Palestinian drivers living under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority have white or green plates. There are, however, Arab-owned vehicles with yellow plates those belonging to Arab residents of East Jerusalem.
Shlomit noticed that other cars were flying by them, but a car with white plates remained steadfastly behind her. She was sandwiched between the two.
After a while, the garbage truck pulled over to the side of the road and Shlomit passed it. Something made her glance up at her rear view mirror, and she saw that the Palestinian car was also pulling over. Shlomit saw the driver get out and hand a small package to the driver of the garbage truck.
This, she thought the transfer of something from a white-plate to a yellow-plate driver was a little odd.
So Shlomit, being a good citizen, upon reaching a roadblock several miles up the road, told the story to a soldier manning the post.
"Would you mind sticking around for a few minutes?" he asked.
"No problem," said Shlomit and settled down with a cup of coffee kindly offered by the young man in the bulletproof vest and helmet.
A few minutes later the garbage truck rolled into the roadblock lane. Having yellow plates, it should have passed through fairly easily. But the soldiers, tipped off by Shlomit, examined his cab even more carefully than usual. They found the little package and opened it.
It contained explosives. My friend Shlomit probably saved some lives that day.
Happy Birthday TM
Thank you Ian for all the hard work that you have put into this thread. What with all of the studying and reading you are doing for school, it astounds me how you found the time to put this all together for us again. Thank you!
And, thank you to all who have contributed to this flow of information. This thread is the place to come to, to learn what is really happening in the hunt to stop global terrorism.
May the good Lord bless and keep us all.
{{{Australia has apparently learned of a specific and immediate terror threat, and is recalling their legislature to deal with the threat.}}}
While the information made available to the public and news media is limited, there must be a very serious level of concern to take this action, to recall legislature to work overnight to pass new anti-terror laws to deal with the threat.

"After question time today, the attorney-general will introduce into the House an urgent amendment to the existing counter terrorism legislation,"
"We will seek passage of that amendment through all stages this evening."

Also I am reading the following, hope everyone has:
Hey, we got thru RAMADAN! Anybody have any theories on why? My Buddy (SF LTC ret.) is convinced that the next big event is the annual Haj pilgrimages in the spring. Comments anybody?
Folks, prayers for our 6 month old newfoundland dog (MISS LIBERTY--"Libby") who just had revolutionary laser surgery to PREVENT bilateral Hip Dysplasia. Poor little thing, she is in such pain and is so fragile after her surgery yesterday. It may well take many months to see if this works. Meantime we're taking loving care of a canine invalid for awhile. It makes it much worse on her and her older (and healthy, thankfully) SISTER newf so long as we remain without power, generator notwithstanding.
I'd like to be put on the ping list
