Several of the news sites seem to be blaming the SUV.
From Jill St. Claire's site: Rumsfeld unsure of ability to intercept Korean missiles
Snip: After his first look inside the nerve center of the U.S. missile defense system, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Sunday sounded a note of caution about expectations that interceptors poised in 10 underground silos here would work in the event of a missile attack by North Korea.
Asked at a news conference whether he believed the missile shield was ready for use against a North Korean missile like the one test-fired unsuccessfully on July 4, Rumsfeld said he would not be fully convinced until the multibillion-dollar defense system has undergone more complete and realistic testing.
China hoarding nearly 1 trillion US dollars
Snip: According to the upcoming September issue of Newsweek Magazine, as a result of US trade, China is hoarding US dollars at the rate of $17 billion a month and about to pass the $1 trillion mark.
That's a BIG trade deficit.
Crumbling infrastructure worries Homeland Security experts
Snip: The American Society of Civil Engineers last year graded the nation "D" for its overall infrastructure conditions, estimating that it would take $1.6 trillion over five years to fix the problem.
Snip: Longtime Dow employee Wen Shyu Liu, 69, was arrested Tuesday in Seattle, Washington, on charges of conspiracy, receipt and possession of stolen trade secrets, wire fraud, illegal monetary transactions, perjury and asset forfeiture, US Attorney David Dugas said in a statement.
All charges were associated with stolen Dow trade secrets which the suspect, also known as David Liou, is alleged to have attempted to market to Chinese firms, the statement said.
A message to all Jihad brigades from Sheikh Hamed al-Ali
Snip: A message attributed to Sheikh Hamed al-Ali addressed to all jihad brigades was distributed today, Tuesday, August 29, 2006, to a password-protected al-Qaeda-affiliated forum. The message is an incitement piece to rile the ranks of the Mujahideen, the sheikh writing in a dramatic prose of the victorious group and defenders of the Quran drawing swords against the Western and Shia aggressor. As the enemies entered the Islamic lands and the words of the belief were heard, Muslims engaged in jihad causing the Western Crusader enemy and eastern Shia foe to fall as if they were lost in a sea of mirages of false hopes.
To the Mujahideen, Hamed al-Ali states: Cut the hands of those who want to put it down or change it. Fight hard against the enemy and hold your swords until you see their blood spilled. Rejoice the victory, your flag is victorious. Your good work in appreciated.
Pinocchio, Heidi get Islamic makeover in Turkish books
Snip: In "Pinocchio," when the wooden puppet arrives at the end of his quest, he exclaims to his maker, Geppetto, "Thanks be to Allah, I am a real boy!"
Earlier in the book he says, "If Allah wills it, please give me some bread."
In Alexander Dumas' "The Three Musketeers," as D'Artagnan is en route to Aramis' house, he is told on the street that he can't visit his friend because Aramis was in the company of religious men since he had converted to Islam following the recovery from his illness.
When Johanna Spyri's "Heidi" asks if there is a benefit to prayer, she is told that praying to Allah is comforting.
Yep, so let's update this story.
It's a lone -- driver.
The SUV did it.
End of story.
THANKS TWhiteBear for helping me
with that update.
Oh, you're so welcome, Mama Dearest.
I see Bin Laden and coward are moving up in the search engines.

"Do you think Bin Laden is a coward?"
Well, ummm..time's up -- YES.

Unfreakingbelievable.
"we heard the thump, turned around, saw bodies flying.''
Damn, just damn.
Not anymore!
It's time to call it like it is and insist that it be called TERRORISM by ISLAMOFASCIST pigs.
Oooooh, I'm so angry.

My daughter's favorite book as a child was "Heidi". She named her first daughter Heidi. Our Heidi is now 25 years old. She, as a devout Lutheran, would be sickened to hear that "praying to Allah is comforting".
Did you happen to catch Greta's interview with Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig? Absolutely riveting.

"THE SUSPECT: Recently began arranged marriage"
Jaxon Van Derbeken and Marisa Lagos, Chronicle Staff Writers
Wednesday, August 30, 2006
"Suspect had recently began arranged marriage"
(8/30)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "But those involved in the investigation -- speaking on condition of anonymity -- discount any mental illness, saying Popal seemed coherent, unrepentant and claimed that he repeatedly drove at pedestrians because he "just wanted to.''
A month ago, the 29-year-old Fremont resident and one-time auto worker returned home after getting married in his native Afghanistan, his family said."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Other neighbors said the family usually kept to themselves. Frank Silva, who lives next door to the suspect, said the family asked him to keep an eye on their house about a month ago. They stayed in Afghanistan for about a week, Silva said.
Popal was usually friendly but wasn't talkative lately, Silva said. "It seemed like since he got married he quieted down," he said."
Yep.

13th person charged in Britain over alleged terror attacks
AFP on Yahoo ^ | 8/29/06 | AFP
Posted on 08/29/2006 1:10:02 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
LONDON (AFP) - A 13th person was charged in connection with the foiled alleged terror plot to blow up US-bound passenger jets from Britain, a police spokesman told AFP.
Nabeel Hussain was one of 25 people arrested since police staged pre-dawn raids on August 10 in connection with the plot. Five have since been released without charge.
Police also have warrants to quiz the remaining seven until Wednesday. Under British anti-terror laws, suspects can be detained for up to 28 days without being charged, subject to regular court approval.
Hussain is the ninth of the terror suspects to be hit with the most serious charge of conspiracy to murder. He will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
"Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service Anti-Terrorist Branch have this afternoon charged a man in connection with the anti-terrorist operation overnight on August 9-10, 2006," the spokesman said.
Hussain acted "with the intention of committing acts of terrorism", intending "to smuggle the component parts of improvised explosive devices onto aircraft and assemble and detonate them on board."
Umair Hussain, 24, was last week charged under anti-terror legislation for failing to disclose information about Nabeel, his brother.

"U.S. denies entry to teen, father"
By Shaun Waterman
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
August 30, 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A California teenager suspected of attending a terrorist training camp and his father are being denied re-entry to the United States after spending four years in Pakistan unless they submit to interviews and lie-detector tests, their attorney says.
Julia Mass says the rights of her clients, Muhammad Ismail, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Pakistan, and his 18-year-old son, Jaber Ismail, to return to the United States are being violated because they are on the "no fly" list."
