It is from Terror alerts
Several years ago I exchanged email with Chalabi and I never would have thought he was ever plotting, but I began to get suspicious about him maybe a year ago.
He has the audacity to get mad because we raided his hdquarters and earlier today I thought it was because of the food for oil but he's been spewing to IRAN! He should be shot!
This has been an ongoing, seems like weekly problem for several years
The omission of no racial profiling makes me suspicious
We got in the car to look and it was minimum 3 mile radius took 4 hrs to bring us back up and the only outage admited was the northern/NW burbs, mind you we had dangerous storms

Insurgent Route Was Struck, Not Wedding Party, U.S. Maintains
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 20, 2004 – Insurgents using a smuggling route for foreign fighters and weaponry entering Iraq were the targets of a May 19 strike near the Iraq-Syrian border, a senior military spokesman said at a Baghdad news conference today.
Army Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, deputy operations director for Multinational Force Iraq, was asked about reports that the strike killed dozens of Iraqis at a wedding party.
Foreign fighters and weapons smugglers seeking to enter Iraq, Kimmitt said, frequent the area that was attacked. Available military intelligence, he pointed out, "was sufficient for us to believe to conduct that operation."
"We believe that we operated within the rules of engagement," noted Kimmitt, who was accompanied at the briefing by Dan Senor, chief spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority.
The attack, Kimmitt said, targeted about 35 men and some women gathered near four-wheel-drive vehicles far from any town. Afterward, he said, U.S. ground forces found weapons, Iraqi and Syrian money, and a satellite radio.
U.S. authorities, the general said, "are satisfied at this point that the intelligence that led us there was validated by what we found on the ground -- and it was not that there was a wedding party going on."

"The activities ranges from persons walking under a train trestle and filming it to persons trying to enter parking garages adjacent to train rail tracks or train stations filming those parking garages as well as filming the rail stations themselves."
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"FBI warns of possible suicide attacks"
This is quite significant. I can't recall that we have had a specific threat about suicide attacks. Obviously they have good intel. I think our dear President has been worrying about issues more important than prisoners with panties on their heads and John Kerry. Heads up and stay ever vigilant. I'm afraid we have some dark days ahead.
"Higher prices PER GALLON means people will buy fewer gallons of gas."
But the financial gurus are saying that we're not buying less. They're saying the demand has increased. Demand will also increase over summer vacation.
I don't think so, as I explained in the very next post following the one you read, I think the senior aide was referring to GW's re-election situation and not the actual code alert.
Just got in from Penn Station. Has anyone heard any reports on why there was a battalion of firefighters and emergency vehicles surrounding the 33rd Street entrance at Penn Station? No reports on the radio yet. This is definitely not the norm.

G-8 Security Forces Trained in Wildlife
BRUNSWICK, Ga. - Military and security forces will be bringing out their fast boats and big guns to police Sea Island and its surrounding waters during next month's G-8 summit. But they'll be careful not to trample on turtle eggs or mow over a manatee while they're doing it.(snip)
(snip)Biologists devoted to protecting sea turtles, whose nesting patterns have been disrupted by development, have circulated photographs of the unique - and potentially suspicious - equipment they use.
By next month, a dozen turtles will be outfitted with monitoring devices that include a black box with an antennae and a cylindrical tube that an overzealous officer could easily mistake for a pipe bomb.
*****(WHAT THE HECK?????)******
"The equipment, I'm sure, would look real sketchy to any Secret Service guy on the beach," said Mark Todd, coordinator of the DNR's sea turtle program.

Are all of these suitcases being found really empty? Is there nothing inside? Not even a note? Are we being told everything?
