Where's that Lon Horuichi when ya need him? Oh, that's right.....I'll have to check the phone book for Ruby Ridge or Waco.

[Lazamataz]

Noooooo!!! Not the brides!!!

[FITZ]

Why don't you just die.

I'm not worrying and fretting, I just will not go to places I think they're apt to target. We are not safe as long as the enemy is left to have total access to this country and to the people here. We already know they intend to kill us, if you choose to make yourself a target then go ahead. When the government gets serious about "providing for a common defense" which is one of the few duties it has, then life can be normal again. I did take my kids trick-or-treating, but not to areas with Arab Muslims.

We don't even have a mall where I live in AZ!

[Rain-maker]

Correction: There might be a few Saguaro cactus casualties...hehe

When the back doors of the van were opened by security personnel, there were 6, 55 gallon drums duct taped to the vans walls along with gas type cans also taped to the walls.

Duct taped? A few 2x4's nailed in place would have been a lot easier.

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

i'm listening to the Mass. state police scanner and they just reported they think they have the van in sight on hwy 133 (i think) with OK license plates.

Laz, you seem to be having trouble with moving on and buying another car. Be careful or the "moving along police" will be onto you.

[John Jamieson]

Boston has the newest big bridge in the country. Weird looking thing, like a sail boat.

[Lazamataz]

Laz, you seem to be having trouble with moving on and buying another car. Be careful or the "moving along police" will be onto you.

Oh no, officer; I am fully aware that this van thing is not related to terrorism in any way. I'm willing and able to refinance the home now and go to the mall and move on.

I'm hardly a nuclear physicist, so I'll defer to someone with knowlege on how radioactive detection apparatus work.

[BansheeBill]

Yes there is a



at the mall.

Are you thinking that maybe those drums contained tomato sauce or even..... Cheese?

[John Jamieson]

All, Not open yet?

"A new cable-stayed bridge will soon change Boston's landscape. The Charles River crossing is part of the massive, $10.8 billion Central Artery/Tunnel (CA/T) project, scheduled for completion in 2004. The bridge itself will cost an estimated $87 million and will open to northbound traffic by July 2002. The foundations, like much of the Central Artery project, have been a challenge in Boston's difficult soils and constricted urban environment."

Oh good, it's been years since we've had a good witch burning in Mass.

They just exonerated the last batch. Need some replacements.

[SubSailor]

Duct tape!! Look out everybody, we're dealing with very creative "out of the box" thinkers here who will fool us all with their uncanny genius!

[monkeyshine]

No, their idea is to cause terror. Yes, the act is an act of terror, and has the potential to kill many people, but their point is not to so much to kill (they know that this can't kill enough people to win the war) but to strike fear into the enemy. As a poster already stated, an attack on shopping malls would be a major economic victory for the terrorists, as people would avoid them just as the holiday season that American retailers need for a boost in this "soft economy". The prospect of crowds and long lines is bad enough, but long lines to check every car and every bag going into the malls (as the Israelis do) is going to put a damper on things.

[John Jamieson]

OK license plates. You're kidding right?

[freeperforpresident]

"Right wing extreme Wiccan".......exactly what does that mean? I though all Wiccan's were extreme left! You did? That's what they wanted you to believe. OJ Simpson and Timothy McVeigh and that dude on the grassy knoll were all Wiccans too. Bet you didn't know that.

Keep us posted. I doubt the driver is logged onto FR.
