Dogdisease bump? (AQ forums)

Also- birds as vector:

AQ forums had a statement saying that the migratory birds returning to Europe would carry disease- destroying birds having avian flu would be useless.

Also, recall their "jakel" image showing a bird flying away from NYC, during the middle of a devastated NYC?

Well - I don't know what to say about this one:

The group Revolutionary Struggle claimed responsibility for the three blasts earlier this month in a declaration that denounced the stringent security measures for the Aug. 13-29 games.

They are setting off bombs to protest the stringent security measures!

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Police destroyed a small time bomb found near a major complex for the Olympics.

The device, blown apart Wednesday in a controlled explosion, appeared similar to alarm clock-triggered bombs that damaged an Athens police station May 5, police said.


The bomb was found along one of the city's main roadways about a half-mile from the second-largest Olympic sports complex, a seaside venue set to stage baseball, basketball and field hockey events.

The group Revolutionary Struggle claimed responsibility for the three blasts earlier this month in a declaration that denounced the stringent security measures for the Aug. 13-29 games.

Authorities have been on high alert since the bombings -- which caused minor damage and no injuries -- but say local extremists pose no serious security threat for the Olympics.

About 70,000 police officers and soldiers will patrol Athens and Olympic venues during the games.

Don't forget about the chickens at the kiosk in Texas having avian flu too.

I know they aren't migratory; but it seems a lot of different vectors are being covered.
