Good question. I thought that the worker had failed to sign out the previous day.

Possible WWII-era Mine Washes Ashore off The Moorings in Indian River County (FL - 3/30/05)
A passerby spotted the ordnance on a beach near a Reef Road residence around 4:25 p.m. and called 911.
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY A section of beach at The Moorings was cordoned off Thursday evening after a beachgoer noticed what appeared to be a World War II-era mine in the sand.
A round, corroded device about 15 inches in diameter and 4 inches thick was sticking out of an embankment near a tiki hut.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel from Patrick Air Force Base in Satellite Beach were scheduled to determine if the device was explosive and remove it. Bombs, land mines and depth charges were used more than 60 years ago while World War II military personnel trained on the barrier island.
I agree with you on the importance of watching this very closely.....I often think that the mindless attention being paid to stories like Michael Jackson by the MSM; is the keep the sheeple from paying closer attention to what is really important.

Temple Mount on Shaky Ground?
The Temple Mount in Jerusalem, site of Jewish temples in biblical times and the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa mosque today, may be in danger of collapse.
Archaeologist Shimon Gibson of the London-based Palestine Exploration Fund says the network of 49 cisterns under the 11-acre platform has been neglected for decades and may be responsible for cracks that have appeared in walls of the compound.
Gibson believes water may be settling into cracks and deteriorating the limestone. However, his concerns are not shared by most archaeologists or Muslim authorities. Gibson believes a collapse might occur during the Muslim season of Ramadan, when the Haram al Sharif, as it is known to Muslims, is filled with thousands of worshipers every Friday.
Zionists have long awaited the destruction of the Muslim Dome of the Rock, which they believe might foreshadow rebuilding the temple.
Keeping an eye on that one.

A Virginia man accused of joining al-Qaida and plotting to kill President Bush can have an independent medical exam to corroborate his claim that he was tortured, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, 24, claims that the U.S. government's evidence against him was obtained through torture while he was jailed in Saudi Arabia.
Federal prosecutors deny Abu Ali was mistreated and say no evidence of torture was found by government doctors who examined Abu Ali last month, when the Saudi government turned him over to face federal charges....

The existence of religious pluralism depends on the existence of freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is when different religions of a particular region possess the same rights of worship and public expression. Freedom of religion is consequently weakened when one religion is given rights or privileges denied to others, as in certain European countries where Roman Catholicism or regional forms of Protestantism have special status. For example see the entries on the Lateran Treaty and Church of England; also, in Saudi Arabia the public practice of religions other than Islam is forbidden.
Religious freedom has not existed at all in some communist countries where the state restricts or prevents the public expression of religious belief and may even actively persecute individual religions (see for example North Korea).
Velveeta...to me this Islamic Pluralism Society...is just another name for "Hey Americans...even though you have had "freedom of religion" for over two hundred years...and things have been going well....now is the time to embrace Islam....and water down and renounce the idea that America is based on "Judeo Christian" principles."....IMHO!
