LUCKY THREAD NUMBER:

HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

I have heard a lot of talk (not on this thread I hasten to add) that Paul Williams is just trying to sell books and he shouldn't be believed because he could have financial motives for saying this stuff. I really don't think that this is the case though.

I have read his books before and I would not say he is a sensationalist. His information also concurs with Yossef Bodansky's book "Bin Laden, The man who declared war on America", which was released in 2001 before 9/11. The fact that Bin Laden bought suitcase nukes has been out there for some time. He's not the only one saying it.

It's 5.15pm here. It's very lonely in the morning when you guys are all asleep except the night owls on the west coast. I'm fortunate to work from home some of the week which means I can freep any time.

State Looking at Security After Terrorist-linked Files Discovered

IBM Corp. Upgrades Server LineACLU Files for Right of Gays to MarryOregon Archdiocese Files for BankruptcyLittle Rock Officials Prepare For Bioterrorist AttacksU.S. Maintaining High Profile in Iraq
Little Rock (AP) - The state highway department has pulled the plug on a computer server that was accessed by a hacker who posted al-Qaida-related text and images.

Department spokesman Randy Ort says the agency is taking a fresh look at its security protocols.

Tuesday, the server was physically taken into custody by investigators trying to determine if the incident was a hoax or if terrorists or their supervisors had appropriated the computer space.

The department's Web site, which has a separate server, was not affected.

Is it me or are there suddenly a lot of bomb scares today? Diversion?

[TBall]

If they attack with anthrax we most likely won't know about it until it is too late. Hopefully investments have been made in detection instruments. I doubt it seeing as how Project Bioshield has not even made it to the President's desk for signature.

[xzins]

I might be a little naive, but I don't believe in the suitcase bomb threat.

Nukes are so hard to come by due to the refining of enriched uranium, that it's always been fairly easy to detect those trying to develop a bomb.

That leaves known nuclear states to produce those bombs.

And micro-bombs are even harder to produce.

That leaves major nuclear states.

I agree, though. If we get nuked, then we nuke back. It's the only way to play the game.

Iraqis Insurgents Slay Mosul Governor

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Insurgents on Wednesday assassinated the governor of the northern city of Mosul as his convoy was traveled to Baghdad, an Interior Ministry official said.

Attackers approached the convoy of Gov. Youssef Kashmola about 60 miles south of Mosul, an Iraqi Interior Ministry official said on condition of anonymity.

It was not immediately clear how Kashmola was killed.

I hope you are right. However, even before I heard that Bin Laden had declared war on the US, I had heard that there were a large number of tactical nuclear weapons that were unaccounted for after the fall of the USSR. As far as I know they still are unaccounted for. Back then Bin Laden had the money to buy them on the black market. So did Saddam.

So where the heck are they?

[oceanview]

so Bush is letting his daughter move to Manhattan to die in the blast, is that it?
