SANAA, Yemen, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- A purported statement by al-Qaida in Yemen warned Saturday of a "major strike" soon in the United States.
The statement, distributed by the Yemeni Tagamoo Party for Reforms, said: "A major strike, a big event will take place in America soon," reminiscent of the Sept. 11 attacks.

FRONT PAGE MAGAZINE.com: "SAUDI ARABIA" by Joel Mowbray (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Still at large, though, is Saudi national Abdullah Aljughaiman, who was a lecturer at UI and received his religious training King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Investigators have been unable even to speak with him, however, because he is most likely in Saudi Arabia, where he's off-limits to U.S. authorities. At the center of the probe is Sami Omar al-Hussayen, a graduate student and computer whiz at UI who was also seen as a leader in the local Muslim community. The Saudi national, who goes to trial this spring, is charged with visa fraud, making false statements, and providing material support of terrorism. The terrorism charge does not seem to have adversely affected al-Hussayen's popularity in the local Muslim community. Several Muslims in the Pullman-Moscow area contacted by phone spoke favorably of the alleged abettor of terrorism.") (February 20, 2004) (Read More...)

The realization that Osama bin Laden made the cut sent shivers down the spines of airline-security officials who discovered the system gap. "When the most-wanted man in modern history is not included on the list of possible terrorists there are some serious deficiencies in the system which need to be addressed," says an airport-security official familiar with the test. In fact, Insight has learned from law-enforcement sources that at least two other names of known terrorists cleared security checkpoints when officials punched them into the computer.")

Thanks! I'm looking forward to jumping in again.
I'm glad you clarified yourself, because I think we are fairly close to agreement on the subject. Overall, I do think the creeping socialism is a bigger threat to us than the monolithic Commie nation. I guess that my take is that the same forces that created the big Commie states want us to go down the path of creeping socialism. Different paths, same goal.
Anyway, I understand where you are coming from a lot better. I'm glad to hear differing viewpoints...I was just a little jumpy from previous attacks.
Boy you nailed that one on the head. Like I said before, I don't normally take things that personal, but I was having a tough time in "real life". A few years ago shortly after I first signed up I pissed off a few of the big name regulars because I dared to disagree with them. I was courteous and respectful, I just disagreed with their viewpoint. I got flamed all to hell, but I was a little hesitant to reply in kind for fear of getting banned. I just ignore those people now. :)
Glad to be back with y'all. I've been pulling out my hair the last two days because I had to rebuild my web/mail server and I've been having some serious problems. I haven't been able to get any time to freep because of it. Hopefully I have most of the problems fixed!
< Knock on wood />
As in my mind is breaking like an egg shell? LOL!
As far as the folks that see us as their "entertainment" I just take it with a grain of salt. You get a large enough group of people together and there are going to folks of all persuasions. I just ignore them. But, that's just me.
I'm slightly embarrassed about my behavior. Usually I do just ignore them, but it got to me. Oh well, we all have our weaknesses. :(
All of a sudden "Dead Air" and then a replay from the main board of the radio company.
When Art came back on, after a frantic attempt to find the problem, it turned out that the satellite had been fried in the very spot that Art's program was bouncing off and back to us.
It was on the news the next day, the first time it had ever happened.
I remember that very well! I was working the graveyard shift at the time and I would listen to Art during my "lunch" break. I heard the whole thing as it went down. It scared the bejebus out of me. The caller was very convincing, he sounded like he had seen some whacked out stuff and his mind had shattered. Like something straight out of The X Files. Then when the satellite was knocked out, it blew my mind.
At the risk of ruining people with my devil music, there is a rock band called Tool that has that call on their latest album, mixed with some freaky synthesizer effects. They did a great job of making the call even scarier. Get the lyrics/transcript here, scroll down to track 13, "Faaip de Oiad".
I guess the guy called back a few days later to admit it was a hoax. A very convincing hoax; that guy should win an Oscar for his performance.
< tinfoil> Or maybe they got to him and made him say it was a hoax??? </tinfoil>
LOL!
That's what I have done. I left my last job to get out from under the thumb of the biggest a-hole boss anyone could have. Things were getting so bad that my girlfriend was complaining that I was coming home every single day depressed and with no self esteem. I'm glad to be gone from that wretched company, but things have been tough. So on that note, do you know of any b2b networking already in place?
