Trolley Square rampage puzzle still lacks 'why'

Salt Lake City police detectives believe they know what happened. They just don't know why. The investigation into the Trolley Square shooting rampage Feb. 12 apparently is hinging on the unanswered question: why? Why did 18-year-old Sulejman Talovic go on a killing spree inside the crowded mall, killing five people and wounding four others before dying in a shootout with police?

Who Needs Jacques Bauer?

Twenty-nine defendants went on trial earlier this month in a Spanish courtroom for complicity in the March 11, 2004 Madrid train bombings that killed 191 commuters and injured another 1,800. Among the accused: Jamal Zougam, a 33-year-old Moroccan immigrant who once ran a cell-phone business. In June 2001, Spanish police raided Mr. Zougam's apartment, where they found jihadist literature and the telephone numbers of suspected terrorists.

Report: Progress made in Schalit talks
(Some folks don't learn)

For the first time in quite a while there was cautious optimism in Jerusalem Saturday night about the possible release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Schalit, with Channel 10 reporting Saturday that there has been "significant" progress in negotiations for his release... According to the report, meetings some 10 days ago prompted a compromise that a "few hundred" prisoners would be released.

Hicks 'bragged' to inmate

AUSTRALIAN terror suspect David Hicks bragged that his non-Arab appearance and his Christian surname would allow him to pass undetected through airport security checks, according to a former Guantanamo Bay inmate. The claim is contained in a 148-page document written by former inmate Feroz Abbasi, who also said Hicks told him that he was willing to undertake suicide missions, including crashing a plane into a building.

Hillary's Strategy in Attacking Obama
(Courtesy of Dick Morris, the only man who still lives suspiciously to tell and Eileen Gann)

Why is Hillary’s enforcer, Howard Wolfson, shooting Barack Obama in the kneecaps over David Geffen’s criticism of his candidate? If Wolfson had his way, Geffen would “sleep with the fishes.”Hillary and her boys realize that all that Obama has to sell is his purity. He’s like Evian water. He has no particular taste, he's just the un-cola — the opposite of the vicious, destructive, partisan politics that pervades our country and turns off the voters.

An Upside-Down World

LONDON--The other day Ken Livingstone, the mayor of my hometown of London, organized a conference on Islam and the West. It was a carefully rigged affair in which handpicked speaker after handpicked speaker stood up and announced that the democracies were to blame for the tidal wave of murder sweeping the world. To provide a spurious air of balance, the organizers invited a few people who dissented...

Draped in controversy, is it curtains for Deval?
(Ah, socialism)

It’s the $72,000-a-year secretary for your wife, stupid. That’s what’s people are really going to remember about Gov. Deval Patrick’s very bad week. What a first and lasting impression to leave - Mrs. Patrick, who has a full-time mid-six-figure job, now gets a chief of staff, a woman from Wellesley named Amy Gorin who was one of Deval’s earliest rich moonbat supporters.

'History will see Blair as Churchillian'

Tony Blair's backing for the Iraq war will be honoured by history in the same way as Churchill's decision to fight Hitler, Iraq's former prime minister has told The Sunday Telegraph. In remarks that will be a welcome fillip to Mr Blair, Ibrahim al-Jaafari said that getting rid of Saddam Hussein would be a legacy that future generations of Britons would be "proud of".

Wow! I Really got to stick around to keep up with the comments on the thread, but Ali, you make it durn near impossible!

I've been out most of the day. It was a beautiful day in Alabama today, blue sky and in the low 70s. I let my catechism class leave early so they could play a little football (these are 7-12 graders). One of the boys whacked his head on a big lamp post and got a 3 inch split. Bled like the dickens. We had to take him to the hospital for stitches. And after this he wanted to go back for confirmation class! What a trooper!

Then my wife and kids took me into town for my birthday dinner (Red Lobster), and after this I was so dang tired I took a good long nap. I love Sundays. It starts with posting this thread, a good morning of church, my catechism class, a good diner, and then naps. Did I mention the Sunday thread? That throughout the day, of course!!!

Didn't start reading the thread here until 5:00PM!
