"That's a chilling but hard reality," Paul McHale, assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense told members of the Reserve Officers Association here today. He said he's personally convinced that "we must be prepared not only to defeat such attacks, but, God forbid, to respond to them."

Well, he's right, it is a hard reality and very chilling. One, I might add, we have been trying to cope with. :)

News from Iraq are saying that a One of Top All-Qaida mojahideen has been captured. by the name of Hassan Ghul. this information will be distreputed soon on the meida as a very important catch. i can tell you that this guy has nothing to do with Al-Qaida he is a mojahid that came from abroad but hes not directly or indirectly linked with Al-Qaida as a group. just thought of giving you some information before it hits the brainwashing news coz as i told you before Bush and the white house Gang are going to try in the coming few weeks to give the impression that they are wining the war against Al-Qaida for election perposes. may god protect the mojahideen under Al-Qaida or under any other group fighting for the name of God alaah akbaar Daleel_almojahid Al-Qaida

A lot of controversy surrounding David Kay. IMO I'm still awaiting more news. Many, even on the Republican side happen to have the utmost faith in Kay. And of course the media is not talking about the things he 'did' say in Bush's behalf.

Any clues about projected responses?

I sure pray that W has a list of options well prepared long ago.

Here's the latest on the Osama bin Laden situation...


NEIN director Doug Hagmann has within the past 24 hours been in contact with the original source which had contacted him concerning the United States Special Operations Forces capture of an alQaeda HVT (High Value Target) within the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The source refuses to deny that Osama bin Laden is the HVT we "snatch and grabbed" in the Islamic Republic Iran. The capture occured on or about 20 January, 2004. This source advises us that the original unsolicited information
provided is 100% accurate.

The capture of Husam al-Yemeni (Ansar al-Islam and Abu Zarqawi's lieutenant) occured on or about 15 January and preceeded the capture of the Iranian HVT
(Osama). The capture of Hasan Guhl occured on Thursday, 22 January, and post dates the Iranian HVT (Osama) capture.


I will have an update on why the U.S. State Department issued the denial about Osama's capture instead of the U.S. Department of Defense.
