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.

"We might think about other places to meetup with a servers located in different regions ?"

www.freedominion.ca is our sister site in Canada. A number of FReepers use it as a backup site. The Yahoo board sucks.

Yeesh, TexKat, I see you are joining JustPiper and Cindy and Calpernia and others who post all these numerous marvelous links that KEEP ME UP WAY PAST MY BEDTIME!!!!! I'll never get proper shut eye again.... Plus, by the time I finish perusing all the links that I can't resist, I see another 300 posters have again posted here in this octopus-like thread(s)! It's a double whammy because then I feel compelled to stay up even later or get up even earlier to try to catch up -- note that I wrote "try" because I really never do catch up totally. I will soon require a salary in order to stay here...I can see it now....I do not sleep or work adequately anymore...

P.S. And Ruth, I will not even get started on all your googling!

Thanks. Ijaz is on FoxNews frequently on their various news shows. I haven't seen the one you are talking about.

I think he know much more than he is revealing, and he is helping the US government in our War on Terror.

Hmmppphhh, it is not like the immigration agents are doing their jobs anyway, though, right? INS doesn't care about stopping aliens from crossing the borders or being notified of scores of aliens jam packed in row houses. The Feds finally figured out that all the agents had roomy schedules and some were even free enough to actually do something for their salaries! It would be funny if it weren't so sad...

Did he say how he knows this?

You got what I got. Just reporting what was reported. Some people would like to know while others may not.

Here you go JP, you can ask him how he knows this.

I can't add anything once the thread has been posted. If I had thought about it I could have added them in the first reply with no trouble at all. It is easy to backtrack...Luckly there are links at the beginning and end of each thread to follow.

From what I can see it depends on the height of the detonation. This page says that an air burst will send an EMP pulse out to the horizon. I'm not sure what a ground burst would do, but I imagine it would depend on the yield of the bomb.
