February 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has dispatched the elite commando force that hunted down Saddam Hussein to Afghanistan for a new operation aimed at getting Osama bin Laden, officials said yesterday. Military sources confirmed that members of the shadowy Task Force 121, the unit that conducted the high-tech search for Saddam and his henchmen, have recently begun operating in the remote mountainous region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where bin Laden and key al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives are believed to be hiding. The Task Force is made up of highly trained Delta and SEAL commandos, as well as CIA paramilitary operators. It operates outside normal military channels.

It "expands the scope" of the '96 order. We would have to see the original order to review the exact changes.

D.C. hazardous materials crews found elevated levels of radiation near the powder and later determined that the abnormal reading was harmless, Etter said. They just keep insulting our intelligence don't they?

Yes, that was on Snopes. But you have to read WHY it was on Snopes.
That interview was never proven untrue. It was declared a hoax because of improver journalistic etiquette:
Snopes:
You really shouldn't run an article whose source is a foreign language you don't understand unless you have a copy of the original text and you're especially confident of the translator. And you really shouldn't run an article that has already been translated once into a second language you don't understand, then re-translated. If this interview was really taken from a Portugeuse translation of an Arabic transcript, where are those other versions? Shouldn't verifying that they at least existed have been a basic step undertaken to determine that the interview wasn't a hoax before running this article? And even if the interview this article was based upon were genuine, how would we know whether the doubly-translated Arabic-to-Portuguese-to-English version bore any reliable resemblance to the meaning of the original?
>>>
They make a valid point. We all would like to see the original text. But no one has debunked any of the statements.
Now THAT I would like to see debunked.

Hey everyone, could I ask a big favor, please, for a prayer. I just received word that my 84 year old aunt (Godmother) is undergoing emergency surgery for a blockage. She should be under right now. If you have a minute she certainly could use a prayer. Thanks so much. (I'm a little upset!!!!!)
To: crabbie
Prayers on the way, crabbie.
Prayers sent for you, too.
