Thanks for posting that, tmp02. Scheuer is reporting this mainly for the mainstream news watchers. For us TMers it is older news. The fatwa for WMDs was reported online months back. I am assuming that this is what they are talking about anyway.

I think the only reason cbs is airing this is because the election is over, GWB won and it can't hurt their agenda to talk up these dangerous times concerning terrorism now. They want to try to trash GWB as much as possible, of course. So they will allow Scheuer to trash the CIA and by extension, GWB.

IIRC, It's Happening and Jill St. Claire and a few other sites posted the WMD fatwa awhile back.

Border Inspectors Find Girl Sealed In Piñata

SAN DIEGO -- Inspectors checking the car of a smuggler at the U.S.-Mexican border found a girl hiding inside a piñata.

They said they've seen all kinds of attempts to smuggle people into the country, but this was an odd case.

Vince Bond of U.S. Customs and Border Protection said officers at the Tecate Port of Entry found the girl on Nov. 2 when they removed several piñatas from the car and one seemed much heavier than the others.

The girl, who is about 4 or 5 years old, was carefully sealed inside, but she was able to breathe. The girl's mother was curled up inside the car's trunk, and her brother, who is about 9, was underneath the collapsible back seat.

The three family members were voluntarily deported to Mexico. The driver and another passenger in the car, both American citizens, were not arrested.

Bond said the sheer volume of immigrant-smuggling cases far exceeds the government's ability to prosecute all smugglers.
