what about the threats against Pearl Harbor?

About 10 days ago, Matt Drudge was airing stories of AQ agents in Hawaii and wanting to target the USS Arizona with hi-jacked aircraft.

The lack of security on the neighboring islands is an issue. However, the idea of a hit at Arizona seems rather outlandish.

I'm pretty sure from what contacts I do have that military and coast guard officials were aware of the threat before it hit the papers or Drudge. I got the impression the state hadn't been notified of the threat, however. We've had a lot more helicopter activity recently - though it could just be increased training at Wheeler.

Go Lingle, though. She's doing a great job thus far, despite the heavily Democratic legislature trying to trip her up at every turn.

Well, heck! I really don't think Hawaii is much of a target, due to costs and distance, and escape routes. They are pretty isolated.

Whatever the Gov. wants to do is fine with me.

On another matter, I understand that the SARS virus is now known. The family tree of this bug is worrisome to me. It definately has my attention now.

A vaccine must be developed pretty quick or we may not make it to 2010. This thing could well go pandemic, as some have feared.
