Thanks MamaDearest.
I don't remember from which jihadi site I found this exactly, but they just plant images on sites like this one.
Opening Up the CIA
By TIMOTHY J. BURGER
Aug. 07, 2005
In what experts say is a welcome nod to common sense, the CIA, having spent billions over the years on undercover agents, phone taps and the like, plans to create a large wing in the spookhouse dedicated to sorting through various forms of data that are not secret--such as research articles, religious tracts, websites, even phone books--but yet could be vital to national security. Senior intelligence officials tell TIME that CIA Director Porter Goss plans to launch by Oct. 1 an "open source" unit that will greatly expand on the work of the respected but cash-strapped office that currently translates foreign-language broadcasts and documents like declarations by extremist clerics. The budget, which could be in the ballpark of $100 million, is to be carefully monitored by John Negroponte, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), who discussed the new division with Goss in a meeting late last month. "We will want this to be a separate, identifiable line in the CIA program so we know precisely what this center has in terms of investment, and we don't want money moved from it without [Negroponte's] approval," said a senior official in the DNI's office.
Critics have charged in the past that despite the proven value of open-source information, the government has tended to give more prominence to reports gained through cloak-and-dagger efforts. One glaring example: the CIA failed in 1998 to predict a nuclear test in India, even though the country's Prime Minister had campaigned on a platform promising a robust atomic-weapons program.
"If it doesn't have the SECRET stamp on it, it really isn't treated very seriously," says Michael Scheuer, former chief of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit. The idea of an open-source unit didn't gain traction until a White House commission recommended creating one last spring. Utilizing it will require "cultural and attitudinal changes," says the senior DNI official. Sure, watching TV and listening to the radio may not sound terribly sexy, but, says Scheuer, "there's no better way to find out what Osama bin Laden's going to do than to read what he says."

Jihadist Forum Member Provides Instructions for Several Explosives
By SITE Institute
August 9, 2005
An explosives manual was recently posted to a password-protected al-Qaeda affiliated message board, providing detailed instructions to build Molotov cocktails, burning bottles, pipe bombs, fruit bombs, mines, and explosive sand. Explosive sand is explained to be a sea sand, that in Jordan, is known as: Raml Sweiler. For each explosive, the author lists the ingredients, step-by-step processes for preparation, and suggestions for their use. For example, concerning mines, the author states that a mine should be placed in the dirt with little exposure, so that when a jeep or person pauses and presses the spring, it goes down and it presses the matches in the black striking paper.

Don't let the Jihadi watch any Carmen Miranda movies. They may get ideas.
Well, if we come across a jihad forum using the code term "Carmen Miranda" we'll know what they are referring to.
LOL!
Did you see this today, also?

Do you have a url for any of the sites with this map on it?
Free associating:
Chemical plant burning in Romulus
Romulus = "founder of Rome"
There's that ancient name 'thing' again.
Detroit was on the hit list, so was Rome...
Your second link is interesting and should be posted with this link, also see the 'Investigations' link, there is lots to read here.
The first link, my eyes does not read that page. But I can guess that it says NO...LOL

Sorry, Cindy, that's the only address I have for that one.
Thanks for pointing out the Haganah site. Very interesting - it looks like they hide videos too.
Yep and thanks.
