Just right click on the pic and choose "save picture as" and you'll have a copy, too. I think I have a different shot also, and I plan on looking tomorrow on my other computer.

On a completely different topic, I was looking into the connection of Osama and the attempt to blow up a nuclear reactor during the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. I don't want to hijack Peach's thread, however, I have in-laws in Australia. Some are pro-America and some are openly hostile. The ones that are pro-America told me right after 9/11 that Osama had tried to blow up a nuclear reactor in downtown Sydney. These in-laws visited Bali just before the attack on Australians vacationing there. I found a lot of info online, but have not heard many references to this foiled "dirty bomb" nuclear attempt on the 2000 Olympics. Here is a link for your future reference: LINK Note that this is before the attack on America for those on the left that think "America had it coming".

"The 1950s-vintage nuclear reactor in Sydney is not a power plant. It is used for scientific and medical research"



The reasoning not a plant? and "The Games" mean money, so let's not scare the tourists scenario? However, this shows bin Laden was under surveillance.

A number of transnational Islamist terrorist groups, including the Al-Qaeda of Osama bin Laden, have established a presence in Bangladesh in alliance with the various fundamentalist organisations in the country. Osma bin Laden donates funds to the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), which has contacts with the Dhaka-based Bangladesh Harkat-ul-Jihad-e-Islami (HuJ). The HUJ was established with the aid of Osama Bin Laden in 1992.

The covert activities of Osama bin Laden and the Al-Qaeda came to the fore during the visit of the then United States President, Bill Clinton, to Bangladesh in March 2000. One of the reasons for the cancellation of President Clinton's scheduled visit to Joypura village and the national memorial at Savan was due to the threats that emanated from the Al-Qaeda.

A number of terrorist groups, both regional organizations such as the Abu Sayyaf Group and transnational groups such as Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network were under critical surveillance during the Sydney Olympics for possible acts of terrorism.
