Flying for two hours at a low altitude over Gettysburg without any airforce/police interception seems really odd. Where were the state police copters? Maybe it was police/military in an unmarked plane doing some sort of surveillance?

Yes. Frederick is primary (recall Genesis project?) Gettysburg Battlefield is for overflow.
cough... cough... How did we end up in the smokey backroom?
OK. We've been sent to our (back) room again because some of us are be somewhat argumentative and, shall I say....contentious? Please, let's continue to show the respect for each other like we have throughout this entire thread.
AMEN.
I agree right down the line.
Thanks.
BTW,
What is it about people acting, sounding as though their scroll buttons, page down buttons don't work????
Perhaps some identities are toooooo married to this wonderful thread???? If it strays too askew from their constructions on reality, they break out in hives????
Sigh.
Now we're in chat. Oh wheeee.

i don't know--my son says that they did notify the FBI and that Maryland and PA were being searched with no success.
"A Chinese general calls the US a "whore" for claiming Taiwan was thinking of targeting a key dam to deter attack."
. . . Lt Gen Liu, the son of former President Liu Shaoqi, replied to the Pentagon's comments in a front page editorial in the China Youth Daily newspaper published on Wednesday. "Some people who say they support democracy, wave the flag of human rights and shout about fighting terrorism are actually a bunch of provocateurs, inciting nationalism and purposely and shamelessly provoking revenge without regard to consequences," he said.
"It is very clear they are whores, masquerading as gentleman, and are willing to go farther than Bin Laden," he said, referring to the head of the terrorist group al-Qaeda. . . .

China slams US report on Taiwan
A Chinese general has criticised a US Pentagon report that speculated on China and Taiwan's military balance. The report, issued last month, said Taiwan's leaders had suggested adding to their offensive arsenal as a way to deter Chinese attack.
But Lt Gen Liu Yuan said such ideas would cause war not prevent it.
Gen Liu dismissed a suggestion Taiwan could target the Three Gorges dam, saying the island's conventional missiles were not powerful enough.
The row was triggered by the Pentagon's annual statement to the US Congress, released in May.
In it, the Pentagon said Taiwan's "political and military leaders" had recently suggesting acquiring weapons capable of striking against China as a way to deter Chinese attack.
China has been rapidly building up its missile capability and analysts say the balance of power across the Taiwan Strait is shifting in Beijing's favour.
"Since Taipei cannot match Beijing's ability to field offensive systems, proponents of strikes against the mainland apparently hope that merely presenting credible threats to China's urban population or high-value targets, such as the Three Gorges Dam, will deter Chinese military coercion," the report said.
The Three Gorges dam will not collapse and cannot be destroyed

"Some people who say they support democracy, wave the flag of human rights and shout about fighting terrorism are actually a bunch of provocateurs, inciting nationalism and purposely and shamelessly provoking revenge without regard to consequences," he said.

Three Gorges
China regularly criticises the US for its handling of Taiwan, which Beijing sees as part of its territory.
China's leaders are especially incensed by Washington's continued weapons sales to Taiwan.
But Lt Gen Liu's comments were unusually frank, reflecting mounting sensitivities over the issue, and over the Three Gorges dam.
China has huge hopes for the project, the world's largest dam and flood control project, which Beijing hopes will help solve China's energy problems when it is completed in 2009.
"The Three Gorges Dam will not collapse and cannot be destroyed," Lt Gen Liu said. "To begin with, Taiwan does not have nuclear weapons."
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said last week that the Pentagon report was "Cold War mentality harbouring evil intentions".
The latest flare-up comes as another report from the US Congress, released on Tuesday, accused China of passing nuclear technology to Iran in exchange for oil.

Two many of these terrorist and communist countries seem to be linked.
