Days before the September 11 terror attacks, two U.S. Marines armed with a bottle of Brasso, sponges and cloths got on their knees and began polishing the brass base of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial flagpole bearing the Marine insignia.

The pair of Marines, this column reported, undertook the late-evening buffing because the Marine Corps insignia had become "dingy and tarnished."

Quote of the Day by Texas Eagle

" A review of IRS filings and annual reports for tax years 1998, 1999 and 2000 shows that Greenpeace Fund Inc. funneled tax-exempt contributions to nonexempt programs, the complaint continues.


Examples cited include: blockading a naval base in protest of the war in Iraq, boarding an oil tanker for a "banner hang," breaking into the central control building of a nuclear-power station and padlocking the gates of a government research facility. "

If any of this is true, then how can they help but be on the list of terrorist groups? You mean to say they took over the control room of a nuclear plant? That is too scary to contemplate.
