The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | March 20, 2003 | Bill Steigerwald
The award-winning investigative journalist and international terrorism expert spent the last half of the 1990s warning, very presciently, about militant Islamic activities in the United States in PBS documentaries such as "Jihad in America" (1996) and before Congressional hearings.

Some Teletype units ran at BAUD Rates lower than 75 even
Correct me if I'm wrong.......
It's been a long time since I've seen a Teletype.

"I suggest that now a somewhat opposite process is being started- first one fire of terrorism, then another is being lit- the question is, can we put them out?"
Whom is lighting all these fires?
All over the world, the media of every country parrots the condemnation of the United States that comes from our own media and politicians.
Our media tells them that millions of Americans are protesting the war in Iraq.
That the coalition is losing the war on terror.
That Bush and his cabinet are creating a police state in America.
That America has designs of ruling the world.
That the U.S. is evil!

It's been so long ( circa 1978 ) since I cracked a technical book on teletypes ( I was into shortwave listening back then, and intercepting radioteletype (RTTY) feeds ) that the exact relation to baud rates, character per second, etc., is hazy, but standard speeds were 60, 66, 75, and 100 words-per-minute ( WPM ). That assumed some arbitrary average word length, and was based on a 5-bit character, which was standard teletype practice.
The baud rate is related, and numerically close to WPM, but not exactly the same thing.
60 WPM was the old US standard, 66 WPM was European, and 100 WPM was used by the armed forces a lot... I actually had a surplus Kleinscmidt portable tty that had change gears for all speeds- it came in a neat magnesium, watertight carrying case. Kind of wish I'd held on to the dern thing, now!

Small world. I had a Kleinscmidt too. Now that you mention it, I remember changing the gears in it. (Very easy to do)
I got mine about '69-70. Somewhere about that time. I had it hooked up for RTTY also. (Receive only. I had not renewed my ham ticket, never did actually, got too busy with other stuff) It was fun.

I really enjoyed the hobby- as news and other providers switched to satellite feeds, the stations went silent, and when we moved in 1987, I decided that moving my 7' relay rack & all that gear wasn't worth the hassle. Kind of wish I'd done otherwise.

Thank you, Spain.

Wow- This goes out to all my 'Rat friends-
Clinton is praised and all he did was talk, talk, talk.
Bush is admonished because he acted--
Democrats are no different than 5 year old children.
I'm thankful that we have a REAL LEADER in our White House now. I'll work to keep it that way, too. Stay well...............FRegards

The BBC report into the matter studiously avoids using the word "nuclear" in relation to "missile", although it seems pretty certain that these are ICBMs we're talking about here.

Finally, on this day, spare a thought for both the five fallen soldiers and for the four dead in Fallujah, civilian workers helping to reconstruct Iraq - in other words, the “war profiteers” damned by John Edwards, John Kerry and other fatuous twerps pandering to their deranged base for the last year. Maybe they even worked for – boo, hiss – Halliburton. These private companies are doing an incredible job in Iraq and they deserve better than to be demonized by Democrats for a cheap laugh at campaign rallies.
They've been brainwashed up in the Great White North in multiculturalism, and sensitivity and about how the UN will protect Canada from the Big Bad Wolf waiting outside the door. Plus many Canadians think the United States is a more worrisome danger to their survival than Al Qaeda! Go figure.
No islam, no terror...
Stakes for U.S. much higher in Iraq than they were in Somalia
AP | 4/01/04 | TOM RAUM
"Nearby, a boy no older than 10 ground his heel into a burned head. "Where is Bush?" the boy yelled. "Let him come here and see this!""
The ten-year-old boy didn't know what he was saying/doing. He's the illiterate result of Muslim extremism.
This is the Clinton Legacy! These b@stards on the 9-11 Commission want to point fingers!? They can point their middle finger right at "The Stain," Bill Clinton. His cowardice in Somalia only convinced Usama and his demon-possessed minions that the US was weak, and Clinton's weakening of the CIA's intelligence gathering capability (human intelligence) hamstrung us and kept us from learning what al-Qaeda was up to prior to 9-11. That's the whole story -- book it; print it; adjourn the Commission.
Time to Clean House...

Track down the ones in the pictures and hang them from the bridge. No, it's not the easiest way, but it is sure as heck the best way to send the right message-
Other remains were hung from an electricity pole. People chanted: "We sacrifice our blood and souls for Islam."
