That drain needs to be plugged. There’s another drain over Saudi Arabia. That’s where the brown ones come from. That’s what Tolkien was referring to when he wrote that there were two kinds of Orcs. In the end, whatever variety they are, they’re all just disgusting creatures that need to be controlled.

Larry Johnson, Larry Johnson:
Larry C. Johnson is CEO and co-founder of BERG Associates, LLC, an international business-consulting firm that helps multinational corporations and financial institutions identify strategic opportunities, manage risks, and counter threats posed by terrorism and money laundering.

Mr. Johnson, who worked previously with the Central Intelligence Agency and U.S. State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism, is a recognized expert in the fields of terrorism, aviation security, crisis and risk management.

Mr. Johnson has analyzed terrorist incidents for a variety of media including the Jim Lehrer News Hour, National Public Radio, ABC's Nightline, NBC's Today Show, the New York Times, CNN and the BBC. He was even employed as a Fox News Contributor during 2002. Mr. Johnson has authored several articles for publications, including Security Management Magazine, the New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times. He has lectured on terrorism and aviation security around the world, including the Center for Research and Strategic Studies at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, France. He represented the U.S. Government at the July 1996 OSCE Terrorism Conference in Vienna, Austria.

From 1989 until October 1993, Larry Johnson served as a Deputy Director in the U.S. State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism. He managed crisis response operations for terrorist incidents throughout the world and he helped organize and direct the US Government’s debriefing of US citizens held in Kuwait and Iraq, which provided vital intelligence on Iraqi operations following the 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Mr. Johnson also participated in the investigation of the terrorist bombing of Pan Am 103. Under Mr. Johnson’s leadership the U.S. airlines and pilots agreed to match the US Government’s two million-dollar reward.

From 1985 through September 1989 Mr. Johnson worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. During his distinguished career, he received training in paramilitary operations, worked in the Directorate of Operations, served in the CIA’s Operation’s Center, and established himself as a prolific analyst in the Directorate of Intelligence. In his final year with the CIA he received two Exceptional Performance Awards.

He taught at The American University’s School of International Service (1979-1983) while working on a Ph.D. in political science. He has a M.S. degree in Community Development from the University of Missouri (1978), where he also received his B.S. degree in Sociology, graduating Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1976.

Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, Ph. D., *TWO* CIA Exceptional Performance Awards, Deputy Director in the U.S. State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism.

Why Larry is as smart as Jimmy Carter, Nuclear Engineer and Nobel Prize Winner! And ex-President.

And as good looking and rock-solid-sane and principled as that other Nobel winner the late Yassar "Call me General" Arafat.

Yes, sirree, Larry sez

"Preliminary unconfirmed reports indicate a nuclear blast has occurred at Glasgow's international airport no one has seen the mushroom cloud or heard the blast but something by God is happening and it must be terrible ... Oh the humanity! ... I am good friends with one of the world's foremost explosives experts propane tanks and petrol (gas for us Americans) can produce a dandy flame and a mighty boom but these are not the tools for making a car bomb long the lines of what we see detonating on a daily basis in Iraq ... much of the cable news media reacts to this nonsense like a fifty year old guy on Viagra or Cialis--they pop major wood and the same warnings are appropriate--an erection lasting more than four hours may be harmful. Amen.

[Punctuation and paragraphs removed to better convey the Larry J mindset --bvw]

Larry knows. Yeah. Yeah baby yeah. Larry knows.

Larry's THE expert.

Gosh I wish the media could restrain themselves from giving step by step instructions on how terrorists could improve their bombs. I know the information is available for those who wish to find it, but making it easy to get isn’t helpful.

Sitting outside my house (about 30 feet away from it) is this white gigantic (12 feet long and about 4 feet high) propane storage tank capable of holding 100 gallons--though to allow for heat expansion during the summer they fill it only to 80% of its capacity.

I am aware of the huge explosive power of propane, so I always tiptoe past it on the way to get my car.

Not to mention how far out the nails would be blasted - wouldn't want to be the one to stop a few of those
