What!?! You're on a roll tonight Davey. Go get 'em!
I have begun updating some things with the offsite links. The Handbook is now an active link, with one entry thus far... The hard link for what follows is found here. I have marked off quite a few things in several books over the past months with items that I felt might be of interest here, for handy resources. I have also been sent a few such lists by other TMers. I will be adding more to the handbook in the coming days and weeks, as always... would love more input. |

Prolonged Static Surveillance
|
FBI special agent Gary Harter of the Washington field office says al-Qaida operatives are highly trained in what is known as "prolonged static surveillance" methods, ranging from using hidden cameras to posing as tourists or even street-corner panhandlers to case a target for terrorism. He has advised police around the country to be on the lookout for the following possible indicators of terrorist surveillance: |

Why Chemical or Biological Warfare Agents are for Terrorists?
|
I QUOTE: "This tongue-in-cheek but accurate list (10) of why terrorists may use chemical or biological agents was compiled and disseminated by the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in it's annual conference and telecast on "Biological Weapons in Terrorism" Although these were oriented to Biological weapons they mostly apply to the chemical agents as well. 1. AVAILABLE IN STORES EVERYWHERE! Terrorists can acquire chemical and biological agents easily from public sources. Until recently biological cultures could be ordered over the internet. 2. EVERYDAY LOW DISCOUNT PRICES! Unsophisticated CB weapons can be acquired for a very small amount of money compared to what's necessary for a nuclear weapon. 3. NO ROAMING CHARGES: Small quantities of CBW's can create a mass effect over a broad area. However many Biotoxins don't need a mass area, but will spread themselves through contact transfer, airborne carry or human infection. 4. TASTES GREAT LESS FILLING! Most CBW's have little or no taste, odor or color. 5. WON'T HARM CARPETS: Unlike explosive devices or nuclear weapons, CBW's harm only people; nearby areas can be rather easily decontaminated after an attack. 6. WORKS WHILE YOU SLEEP: The "persistence" of CBW's is an attractive factor in their use as weapons. Unless a decontamination team or an antidote is available, the weapon will continue to kill for some time after use. 7. TESTED AND EFFECTIVE: Most info on CBW capabilities and advances comes from the military which has organized and categorized for over a century. Effects are well known. 8. WHAT WE DON'T KNOW WILL KILL US: The first indicator of an attack may well be the initial deaths that occur. 9. FOUR OUT OF FIVE DOCTORS RECOMMEND: The scientific community is in full agreement that CBW's are highly effective terrorist tools. 10. BE THE ENVY OF YOUR FRIENDS: Although the capability exists for terrorist use of CBW's, the number of serious incidents has been small. |

UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Washington, DC, Jun. 3 (UPI) -- Nuclear materials from the former Soviet Union remain a dangerous proliferation and environmental threat, Russian and U.S. experts warned Friday.

Russian researchers from the Bellona Foundation, a Norway-based environmental organization, released their latest report on the state of the Russian nuclear industry and the need to reform it. They said the Soviet nuclear legacy has left Russia and the world vulnerable to nuclear materials left over from the Cold War.
~~~~~~~~Your tax dollars at work....
Helmke has been a major supporter of the program crafted by former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., and Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, that since 1991 has provided billions of dollars to Russia to tighten security around nuclear facilities and dispose of nuclear materials.

SAUDI ARABIA LAUNCHES SEVERE CRACKDOWN ON CHRISTIANS
By Jeremy Reynalds
Special Correspondent for ASSIST News Service
WASHINGTON, D.C. (ANS) -- There have been 46 confirmed arrests of Christians in Saudi Arabia, with some sources citing in excess of 100 Christians arrested.
That according to the Washington, D.C. based human rights organization International Christian Concern (ICC).
During the last week, ICC reported, Saudi authorities engaged in a major crackdown involving a joint effort of both regular and Muttawa religious police (http://muttawa.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_muttawa_archive.html and http://www.undergroundusa.org/saudi_news.html ).
According to a news release from ICC, this was the largest crackdown in several decades in the religiously oppressive country.
The crackdown came after allegations against the United States for desecrating the Qur'an at the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
During the latest wave of arrests, ICC reported, Saudi authorities ransacked houses and destroyed any Bibles they found. The organization says it also learned that eight Christians were arrested, and documents naming other area Christians were seized.
Last weekend, ICC reported, Chittirical John Thomas, an Indian national, was dragged from work in Riyadh by Saudi Muttawa authorities, taken to his home, and beaten in front of his maid and five- year-old son. The Muttawa gathered his Bible and other religious items, and took 37 year-old Thomas to a detention center. Thomas's wife, who is five months pregnant, has not heard from her husband since.
In addition to Thomas, seven other Indian nationals were also woken, arrested and imprisoned for their Christian faith last Saturday.
According to ICC, these arrests followed the detention of Samkutty Varghese outside his Bible study on March 22 2005. Varghese had the names and numbers of other Christians attending the same fellowship group. ICC said the organization has received credible reports that Varghese was beaten and sentenced to 10 months in prison.
ICC commented that this pogrom-like sweeping of the Christian minority in Saudi Arabia ... shows deficient resolve in enforcing sanctions on Countries of Particular Concern (CPC).
These are nations designated by then U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell as having particularly severe violations of religious freedom under the International Religious Freedom Act (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2003/18302.htm ).
A news release from ICC commented, The inaction of the world's leader in promoting freedom is reprehensible, and risks breaching the line of irrelevance on matters of religious freedom and human rights. The United States and the broader international community need to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for egregious violations of religious freedom. This latest crackdown on Christians is inexcusable, and highlights the oppressive regime under which all religious minorities live and work in Saudi Arabia.
According to the same news release from ICC, the United States has allowed over two months after the deadline for implementing direct action against Saudi Arabia for the CPC status. Now, there are only 10 days left to act under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (http://www.state.gov/g/drl/irf/ ).
ICC is a Washington, D.C. based human rights organization that exists to help persecuted Christians worldwide.
