When does Ramadan end?

[Bogie]

Ramadan? Oh come now. That was just Clinton's way of organizing the bombing of Iraq as cover for his impeachment hearings. No one really belives in Ramadan as a reason not to kill.

Don't be silly.

[mathurine]

When we get rid of the people who play that game.

gingivitis in a result of radiation-induced lukemia

Leukemia does not develop in a matter of days. If he smuggled in a dirty bomb and developed leukemia due to radiation exposure, the bomb's been here for a long time. It's certainly not something recently smuggled in.

This lack of knowledge about basic medicine indicates that DEBKA is probably, as some have said, a high school student.

[DoctorMichael]

Hmmmmmmmmmm-type Bump.

[Rocky]

Oh, no, not DEBKA again. Have they ever once been right about anything?

[AlaskaErik]

If DEBKA says it's so, it isn't. Credibility meter still reading zero. Actually, DEBKA is to the internet what the Weekly World News is to journalism.

[Standing Wolf]

We should just have nuked the terrorist savages at the outset and skipped all the speculation.

[concerned about politics]

experts note that the bleeding gums the anonymous Pakistani was treated for are a symptom of radiation poisioning,

It's also a symptom of bad bacteria that causes heart attacks. I look up the symptoms on medical websites right after the guy died.
I'm not a doctor, but I play one on FReepers.

[Dog Gone]

In the next installment, Debka will tell us that 15,000 Chinese troops have invaded New Hampshire.

DEBKA: All the News That's Fit to Invent.

[newzjunkey]

Oh, it's DEBKA. Why not just post from the Weekly World News, I think Bush's met with the alien again.

[cavador]

According to WWW.HalTurnershow.com ,M1 Abrahms Tanks are on the streets of New York. Does anybody know whats happening or is this a Hoax. Check out link.

[FReethesheeples]

Beware DebKa. Maybe they're right for once.

[Mitchell]

This was in another thread too. The Pakistani wasn't anonymous; his name is Muhammed Butt [yes, really]. A cause of death was released, namely heart disease.

Now it's possible that the authorities are lying or mistaken about the cause of death, but that's different from claiming that no cause of death was released. And a name was released, also contrary to Debka's claim.

In addition, what subsequent investigation attributes Butt's bleeding gums to radiation-induced leukemia? Is there any actual evidence that this is true? (Yes, I know that bleeding gums are a symptom of radiation poisoning, but they're also a common symptom of ordinary ailments. You need more than that symptom to claim that this is a case of radiation poisoning.)

If anyone has a link that really documents radiation poisoning or leukemia in this person, please let me know.

I think it ends Dec 17

The DEBKA "courier's" name is well known, and he has been autopsied including toxicology. He was arrested on Sept. 19, and died more than a month later. The FBI had released him from questioning because he was not "of interest," and he was awaiting INS deportation (which most assuredly takes more than one month).

Since DEBKA is (as usual) so wrong on the details, and since the story hinges on the so-called mystery of Mohammad Butt, I must assume that the rest of the story is equally sloppy and a flat out fabrication.

Unless the FBI, the INS judge, INS personnel, the police, jail guards, the coroner, and the county prosecutor are all in conspiracy and lying, which I don't think is the case.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-000085041oct25.story

Mohammad Butt was detained Sept. 19 and initially questioned by FBI agents about the hijacked airplanes that struck the World Trade Center on Sept. 11.

FBI Turns Him Over to INS

When the FBI decided that Butt was not of "interest" to their investigation, the bureau turned him over to the Immigration and Naturalization Service because he had overstayed his visa.

He then accepted an immigration judge's decision to deport him to Jhelum, in the Punjab region of Pakistan.

"He didn't have a hearing. He waived his hearing," said Russ Bergeron, an INS spokesman in Washington.

"He simply wanted to be sent back home."

He was awaiting his travel documents when his cellmate looked in on him on his jailhouse bunk at 11:05 a.m. Tuesday. He was not stirring.

Authorities said there were no visible signs of injury or trauma. A nasal swab was taken to learn if he had possibly been a victim of anthrax poisoning; he was not.

He had complained about a gum disease and was being treated with antibiotics, jail officials said. They said his heart gave out.

Terrence Hull, a first assistant prosecutor in Hudson County, said a death certificate will be filed once final toxicology results are completed in a month or more.

"We had difficulty in trying to notify his next of kin, and we did that finally through the consulate's office," Hull said.

Asad Hayauddin, an embassy spokesman, said his government is accepting the finding of heart failure "until we hear otherwise."

I have a geiger counter that I acquired at a garage sale years ago. Yesterday I realized that I should start carrying it in my car. If we had thousands of volunteers carrying around radiation meters with them we might be able to pinpoint suspicious vehicles, houses, etc. as we go about our daily business. Nukes and dirty bombs have one little weakness...you can detect them with the right equipment. The government has a few teams with radiation meters out there, but I'm sure that there's not enough. Be sure to snap a few photos or shoot some video of any suspicious vehicles or people.
