Unrest in Pakistan Setback for Terror War
(Full Story)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A week of unprecedented urban fighting in the wild tribal belt of North Waziristan has left scores dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, raising the stakes in Pakistan's war on Islamic militancy along the Afghan border.

A jumbled alliance of foreign militants, local tribesmen and Islamic students eager for jihad have stepped up resistance in a region where the army already claims to have wiped out al-Qaida as a viable fighting force.

The unrest, brewing for months, is a setback to the U.S.-led war on terror. Further hampering that effort are deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Afghan claims that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Pakistan and suicide bombers are training here.

Quite common here at Cook County jail.

I was involved personally in someone jailed there. I would call every few hours to see if he bonded out and then could sleep when he had not. Then one time I happened to look out my window and there he was, so I called.

I was told again he was was there. Come to find out later their database was about 12 hours behind and they do not notify a victim. Great huh?

And this guy you posted about looks like so many in this city, did they find him? He's probably a northside cabbie.

[JustPiper]

As always excellent info thanks backhoe!

Hi JP and all. Please forgive me for posting and running, but I am again preparing to shop my laptop to Dell for the second time in 2 weeks! Unfortunately, Dell is a pale shadow of the company it once proudly was. It has declined rapidly before my eyes in the last year. I just want everyone to know that I have not been able to stop by here easily until now and it looks like I won't be back until Dell does what it is supposed to do! I have a desktop also but it is not what I favor so I have been spending time offline alot lately.

The reason why I am posting now is that someone e-mailed me this and it should also be posted on Drudge:



U.S. Capitol Evacuated After Power Outage
Apr 03 12:21 PM US/Eastern

Police ordered an evacuation of the U.S. Capitol shortly after noon Monday after the building lost power.

Sirens signaling the evacuation went off and lawmakers and visitors were told to leave.

It was not immediately clear what the cause of the outage was. Before the sirens went off, visitors calmly walked toward the exits and it appeared that emergency generators were activated because some lights flickered back on.

Security officers and other building personnel walked the halls with flashlights.
