CIA: 9/11 Plotters Transited Iran, Govt Tie Unseen
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About eight of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers passed through Iran before attacking the United States, but there is no sign of official Iranian complicity, the CIA (news - web sites)'s acting director said on Sunday.

Now,JP, you know the drill. All negative news involving anyone with any degree of separation at all from the clintoons or the democrap party gets covered quickly after the primetime news cycle has ended. I am surprised AP didn't cover the story at midnight or at 3 a.m. ;)
9 seconds LOL!!!
I'm having a memory lapse. Are they the ones that an attack usually follows one of their new releases?
Hi JP. I recieved that via email from siteinstitute. After I posted I noticed it is not up on their webpage yet?!? I've noticed that items they send out to their email list don't show up on their webpage until later (next day sometimes). I have another email from them I'd like to post but it has a photo that goes with it and again, it's not on their website yet. Hmmm.
We need you here Vel! Hope your computer problems get resolved. You are not alone in being techno-challenged. Let us know how it goes for you!
I hope you will store all of your stuff with us in the future.
It will give us a very rich library.
Thank you,
whoa! we're a couple of Quick Draw McGraws. :-)
Thanks to you and Kinetic we have it on Thread 14!
I love it, thanks!
That parody was hysterical. Watched it last night, but it took forever to load on my computer.
Man Sought for Photographing Texas City Refineries

Man Sought for Photographing Texas City Refineries
Jul 19, 2:57 PM (ET)
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Law enforcement officials said on Monday they are looking for a man seen taking pictures of two refineries in Texas City, Texas. Texas City, located on the Texas Gulf coast about 30 miles south of Houston, has three refineries including the largest U.S. plant operated by BP Plc., which is the third-largest U.S. refinery, processing 470,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
The man, described as white with dark hair, was seen taking pictures outside the refineries, all located on the same highway, at about 5 p.m. CDT on Saturday, said Bruce Clawson, emergency management and homeland security director for Texas City.
While it is not illegal to take pictures of a refinery from a highway or street, officials would like to talk to the man to find out his reason for taking the photographs.
"This is based on the idea that al Qaeda does its homework," Clawson said. "That's not to say we don't have enough home-grown idiots already who might want to do something."
The man was seen driving a white van.
Valero Energy Corp. operates a 243,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery in Texas City. Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC, a joint venture between Marathon Oil Corp., and Ashland Inc., operates a 76,000 bpd refinery in Texas City.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has repeatedly warned refiners that they are possible targets for would-be terrorists. U.S. refinery security officials say their security guards regularly report people observing or taking pictures of refineries.
During the Independence Day holiday, ExxonMobil Corp. tightened security at the largest U.S. refinery, the 538,000 bpd plant in Baytown, Texas, 30 miles east of Houston, because of general warnings about possible terrorist activity.

Which brings to mind the incident back in late January of the oil refinery security guard who was shot when he approached a suspicious vehicle - the driver had been photographing the refinery, IIRC. Heaven forbid I mention that the suspect looked "of Middle Eastern descent" - I'd be accused of racial profiling. What was the outcome of this (or is it yet another story that dropped off the face of the earth)?
Also: watched NBC Nightly News to see the interview with the "Terror in the Sky, Again?" author. It DID NOT AIR. Was I on the wrong channel, or did TPTB decide this issue was too volatile and might scare the sheeple?
WASHINGTON (AP) House leaders called Monday for Congress to affirm that presidential elections, to be held this year on Nov. 2, will never be postponed because of a terrorist attack.
The move comes after the chairman of a federal election commission suggested to congressional leaders last week that there should be a process for canceling or rescheduling an election interrupted by terrorism. National security adviser Condoleezza Rice said the administration is considering no such plan.
