The WaTimes link takes me to this article, do you think the Gertz article got pulled? I’ll look more on the WTImes site:

NUKE SCIENTIST EXCHANGE PLANNED

Nope, can’t find this Gertz article at the WTimes site. Could they have pulled it, I wonder.

Inside the Ring generally doesn't run pictures. I wish they did run them.

Plenty of people have documented Hizbullah and Hamas flags at leftist events for years. I've seen them Only the Al Qaeda bit is remotely odd.

In so far as CAIR, a project of the Muslim Brotherhood, is involved in OWS, it seems to me the cynicism of some is based on ignorance.

How many cities are still having to put up with these morons? I thought they’d mostly dispersed.

the two encampments are fast becoming health hazards.

Good!

protesters also recently were sickened with unusual respiratory illnesses.

Good!

The major emerging problem for the leftists camped out in tents at McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza is rats.

Good!

The rodents appear to be moving into the area by the hundreds, and their numbers are increasing daily.

Good!

The McPherson camp appears be where more radical leftists are based. An observer familiar with the McPherson camp said one distinctive smell coming from the park area is that of methamphetamine being smoked.

Typical RATs.

Among the flags being flown by some protesters are those from the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and al Qaeda.

Good! Typical RATs.

Thanks for the kind words about my novel, Caine’s Pestilence. I'm glad you found it light and it brought a grin—just what I hoped to achieve. Guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again. Still, with a lot at at stake in the 2012 election, I hope people take away some food for thought.
