Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh .. got it .. thanks

[Catspaw]

Wasn't the Sears Tower evacuated on 9/11?

[Humidston]

Am I missing something or does it appear to all of you as well that ALL of these foreign agents are being routed from small towns near major cities???

[Chi-townChief]

Yes. I think the panic here was greater than in NYC.

[Darkshadow]

Book Agent?

[Catspaw]

After seeing what happened in New York--and in DC--I'd be panicked, too, and want to get away from there as soon as I could. And I do believe that the Sears Tower was on the possible target list.

Thinking of that day brings back some terrifying memories.

[Catspaw]

I think Chi-townChief can describe it better, but I consider Oak Lawn IL to be a 'burb of Chicago, not a separate small town.

[Mo1]

I believe so .. I also recall stories being reported of video tapes of the Sears building being found

[Humidston]

Ok. Suburb. Same difference IMO.... It just seems to me these "sleepers" are always found out in "sleeper" communities or small villages near metropolitan cities.

Maybe I'm forgetting or maybe I'm paranoid, but my feeling of security (for being outside Houston) is failing. ;-/

[hoosiermama]

SO what do they do with him now? Slap his hands and send him home!

[pke]

LOL

[McGruff]

Agent of Saddam. Is this him?

[Humidston]

Good question, Mama. Gitmo is my vote. Or somewhere waaay away from prying eyes in the desert.

ONE THOUSAND PROTESTORS MARCH ON ISRAELI CONSULTATE IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO-October 2--About one thousand Palestinians and supporters marched on the Israeli consulate in downtown Chicago this evening, to protest the ongoing massacre of Palestinians, which to date has claimed more than fifty lives, and injured more than 1,200, as Israeli troops continue to attack civilians with helicopters, rockets and live ammunition.

The number of people who attended the rally far exceeded organizers' expectations, as numerous buses and vans and private cars brought men, women and children of every age from different parts of Chicago and the suburbs.

Demonstrators gathered at Tribune Plaza, on Michigan Avenue, a main Chicago thoroughfare beginning at 4.30PM. Activists passed flyers to passersby, and demonstrators carried signs with slogans like "52 Years of Massacres is Enough," "How many children need to die?," and "Sharon=War Criminal."

As the crowd increased in size, chants went up in Arabic and English. Echoing the cries of their compatriots in Palestine, demonstrators chanted in Arabic, "With spirit, with blood we will sacrifice for you Palestine." English chants included, "Free Free Palestine!"

Led by young people carrying Palestinian flags, marchers headed south from Tribune Plaza across Michigan Avenue bridge, towards the Israeli consulate building. Original plans had called for a rally in front of the consulate, with speeches by community leaders. But because the demonstration was so large it was decided to keep the march going in a large loop in order to prevent people surging forward and being pushed against police barricades. Many protestors were emotional and grief-stricken. Chants came to a halt as protestors sat on the ground for a minute of silence in memory of Palestinian martyrs.

Twenty children from Chicago's Palestinian community, donned white T-shirts and lay on the road in front of the Israeli consulate. They were then sprayed with red paint to symbolize their solidarity with Palestinian children killed and injured by occupation forces.

An elderly Palestinian woman, who gave her name as Ferdaws, approached a group of non-Palestinian supporters with tears in her eyes, and said, "I want to thank you for coming to march with us today. We want to show the world that what they say about us is not true, we are not killers and terrorists." Ferdaws said that her father and sister had been killed in an Israeli attack on her village near Betunia, in the occupied West Bank in 1968.

This evening's demonstration received widespread coverage in local media, leading the Channel 2 (CBS) evening news, which reported that, "palestinians say they rallied today to better educate their neighbors and colleagues about the violence in their homeland." Fox TV (Channel 32), WGN TV (Channel 9) and several local radio stations also had reports. In addition, reporters from The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers were present.

Earlier in the day Ali Abunimah and the Israeli Consul-General Tzipora Rimon appeared on WBEZ Radio for a full hour fielding calls from listeners. (The Worldview program is archived at http://www.wbez.org)

The demonstration was co-sponsored by: Arab American Action Network, Al-Awda Chicago, Al-Mahjar, Arab American Institute, Arab American View Newspaper, Al-Quds TV, Committee for a Democratic Palestine, Friday Magazine, Friday Radio, Islamic Association for Palestine, Guild of Palestinian Writers and Journalists in North America, United Arab Networking, American Friends Service Committee, Eighth Day Center for Justice, Hammerhard Mediaworks, Southwest Youth Collaborative.

The protest in Chicago was one amongst many being held cities around the world as international condemnation of Israel's crimes grows.

Unfortunately for we very few non-liberals in Washington state, Ole Baghdad Jim belongs to us! But, you can have him, cheap. Like for FREE!

[hoosiermama]

You're saying he was an instigator of some of the left wing protests? SIR -prahze! SIR -prahze!

[mikeb704]

Located right outside of Chicago and run by Democrats for many years, Oak Lawn is certainly a suburb of Chicago.

After this, they may want to head south to Texas.

Middle Easterners streaming to Texas

By EDWARD HEGSTROM

Copyright 2002 Houston Chronicle Texas has one of the nation's fastest-growing Middle Eastern populations, and most of the state's immigrants live in Houston, according to a study based on census data.

Researchers at the Center for Immigration Studies say Texas' Middle Eastern population more than doubled in the last decade, to just over 100,000, including more than 52,000 in Greater Houston.

We make foreign spies register now? Weird.

"Good morning. "May I help you?"

"Yes, I'd like to register as a spy."

"OK, what kind of spy?"

"You know, the James Bond kind of spy."

"No problem sir, fill out Form 007XF, and sign at the bottom."

"Do I have to use my real name?"

"Well that's totally up to you. But I will assure you that pursuant to 18 USCS Section 12341(a)(2)(B)(iv), the information you provide is totally confidential and can't be shared with any other agency on a Federal, State, or local level, including the CIA, FBI, NSA, IRS, NRC, TVA, BCI, GAY, SSA, BSA, NRA, DNC, SEC, etc., etc."

"OK"

"Now we'll also need photo ID, although the photo doesn't have to be yours, and a check or money order in the amount of $37.50 made payable to the 'United States Spy Registry' or 'USSR' if you prefer. Oh, I almost forgot, would you like your're ID laminated for an extra $2.50?"

"Sure."

"OK sir, here you go, have a nice day, and happy spying."
