PORT HUENEME, Calif. — Authorities sealed off a Southern California port Monday afternoon after a possible terrorist threat was found scrawled in a cargo ship's hold, a port official said.

Authorities closed off the Port Of Hueneme in Ventura County after a dockworker discovered the message scrawled in marker on a metal pillar in the hold of a ship carrying bananas from Guatemala, said Will Berg, the port's marketing director.

Berg said message read: "This nitro is for you Mr. George W. Bush and your Jewish cronies."

Yes, but whatever banana has the "nitro" could end up on the East Coast. Even on the White House table for brunch! Better inspect EVERY single banana.

According to Fox, it is the first deep water port since the ship left Central America.

I stand corrected, indeed. Hey, I was there for a New Years Eve a few years ago. What can I do?

They are trying to kill us. Why should we help them do it.

The Swiftgate scandal makes me just sick. Bill Keller and the NY Times should be prosecuted, NOW!

Did you see the lightning last night? I haven't found any mention of it on TV or internet. It was very peculiar.

The note that refers to "Nitro" would indicate it is a hoax. Why would anyone try to carry nitro on a ship out in the ocean. It is a bit sensitive.

I don't remember seeing that on his fore head when we saw him in person a few decades ago.

I don't think it speaks badly of you; Ventura County has been a big well-kept secret until lately. Now the developers are going full-bore and I think the plan is to turn us into Orange County West (yes, O.C. is mainly east of V.C.)

If you get onto Highway 1 at Malibu and head toward San Francisco you'll be very close to it as you pass through Oxnard. It's home base for the Navy's Seabees.

Perhaps "Nitro" has different meanings in the land of the mullahs

A lot of permanent internal damage?
