Iran Rally
Calpernia has posted several important posts from Laura Mansfield, about Iran in post #25.
I just can't understand why they can't figure out the source of this smell. This story is just plain weird.
Grrr...when are we going to take the gloves off and put down these filthy curs once and for all? Given the current thinking in both American political parties, probably never.
I can't believe how much saber rattling is coming out of Iran. It's a little disconcerting...almost like they are trying to provoke an international incident...
OPINION: Generally speaking, terrorism is like abortion; the media, the liberals and various pro-death individuals and groups refuse to understand that senseless killing is a sin.
It's interesting.
We bounced around some ideas yesterday.
You may want to scroll back and check.
So the London attacks were what??
What happened to common sense on any level?
Playing patty-cake with enemies intent on the destruction of a nation (really all nations) doesn't add up to me either. Big difference between maintaining a strict and serious dialogue with terrorists and sucking up to them with the glimmer of hope they'll be fair and merciful. The victims, survivors and families of 9/11 and the London bombings ought to be the first thought of politicians and world leaders "entertaining" these ideologies.
SNIP:Al-Jazeera, the Arab news service growing by leaps and bounds worldwide and spreading its reach into the western world, has a new name for suicide bombings – "Paradise Operations."
Canada more dangerous to US than Mexico
SNIP:All one need do is peruse the News services to see that Al Qaeda is coupled together with Canada far, far more often than it is with Mexico. In fact, it is by magnitudes of hundreds, not dozens, of reports.
Starting with the attempt to bomb Seattle in the year 1999 and going right up to this very day, Canada has proven a danger to the security of the USA. Members of Al Qaeda have told investigators that they prize Canadian members of their group as some of their most valuable assets.
The first widely publicized bomb plot against the USA with a Canadian connection occurred in 1999. Two extremist, Islamofascists from Algeria, Ahmed Ressam and Abdelmajid Dahoumane, attempted to come across the Canadian-US border with a van full of bomb making materials to be used to blow up the Seattle Space-Needle during the year 2000 Millennium celebrations. And this was just one of the first in a steady stream of such reports, plots, arrests and threats since 1999.
Nearly every week we are finding more evidence that Al Qaeda considers Canada to be a prime launching ground for future attacks against the US.
SNIP:“We see the actors called terrorists, fighters, militants, radicals, rebels, insurgents, extremists and fundamentalists, while the ideology itself is called Islamic, Islamist, Wahabi or jihadist. The use of these and other such terms interchangeably not only leads to hyper-confusion, but also creates problems from a counter-terrorism perspective. Moreover, the use of the Al Qaeda label as a generic term for any and all types of Muslim militants has created the perception of a global monolith, despite efforts to nuance the term with phrases such as ‘Al Qaeda-linked,’ ‘Al Qaeda-inspired,’ ‘affiliated with the Al Qaeda network’ and such,” the analysis points out.
Thousands of English joining the religion of Mohammad
SNIP:An article published in a magazine called Radiance Weekly in March 2004 (posted at Free Republic) estimates that 14,000 English white people have converted to Islam. Many converts have been inspired by the writings of Charles Le Gai Eaton, a former Foreign Office diplomat and author of Islam and the Destiny of Man, who says: I have received letters from people who are put off by the wishy-washy standards of contemporary Christianity and they are looking for a religion which does not compromise too much with the modern world.
Now isn't that amazing? In the name of modern values such as secularism, equality, tolerance, and unlimited personal freedom, the British gave up their Christianity, or, rather, turned it into watered-down left-liberalism; they gave up their national identity, one of the oldest and proudest in the world; they gave up their traditional English ethos, an object of admiration to the whole world; and they gave up their racial identity as a white country. And in the process of giving up everything they have ever been for the sake of secularism, equality, tolerance, and unlimited personal freedom, they let in and welcomed millions of unassimilable Muslims, whose non-secular, non-egalitarian, unfree, and intolerant religion now attracts many Britons who are looking for something solid and moral to give structure and meaning to their empty lives!
Bend E-Coli outbreak linked to one in Washington
SNIP:Dan Peddycord, the county's health services administrators, said DNA "fingerprinting" on one of the local E. coli cases matched an outbreak in Washington that's been traced to parsley used at restaurants and grocery stores there.
Peddycord said the Washington outbreak was believed to have impacted two restaurants and a grocery store and that at least two positive E. coli cases were reported.
In Deschutes County, three cases of E. coli have been confirmed in patrons of McGrath's Fish House in Bend in the past week. The county is waiting for results on eight more possible cases, after more than 70 people complained of symptoms after eating at the restaurant.
I have dial-up, and my computer is slower than Granny's. Better slow than not being online at all. Counting my blessings!
No problem nw.
When YOU are ready;
we'll be here. No rush.

Northern District of Georgia
75 Spring Street, S.W. - Suite 600
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Tel: 404.581.6000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
David E. Nahmias, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, and Gregory Jones, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Atlanta Field Office, announce that DANTE M. SUGUITAN, 38, of San Jose, California, was indicted late yesterday by a federal grand jury for making telephone bomb threats to Turner Field in Atlanta. According to Nahmias, the indictment, and the criminal complaint filed in this case:
On August 10, 2005, and August 11, 2005, employees of Turner Field, the home venue for the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball team in Atlanta, received a series of telephone bomb threats. The caller stated that there were bombs placed inside the park set to explode at different times while the Atlanta Braves were playing against the San Francisco Giants. The situation was addressed by Turner Field Security, the Atlanta Police Department, and the FBI, with heightened security measures taken throughout the remaining games of the series.
Subsequent investigation identified the caller’s telephone number and subscriber as DANTE M. SUGUITAN. On October 14, 2005, an arrest warrant was issued for SUGUITAN based on a criminal complaint filed in the Northern District of Georgia, for violations of 18 U.S.C. § 844(e), making bomb threats by means of a telephone, an instrument of interstate commerce. On October 26, 2005, a federal grand jury returned an indictment charging SUGUITAN with the offense.
SUGUITAN had been held on unrelated charges by the Santa Clara County Department of Corrections in San Jose, California. It is expected that SUGUITAN will be transferred into the custody of the U.S. Marshals in Atlanta following his initial appearance before a federal magistrate in the Northern District of California.
United States Attorney David E. Nahmias said of the case: “We have no tolerance for false bomb threats, which divert resources from the very real terrorist threats that exist.”
For further information and details, please contact David E. Nahmias (pronounced NAH-me-us) United States Attorney, or F. Gentry Shelnutt, Criminal Chief, through Patrick Crosby, Public Affairs Officer, U.S. Attorney's Office, at (404) 581-6016.

"DELHI BLASTS: AN UPDATE"
by B.Raman
I read some of the ideas. I am inclined to think this was a simulation being that NYC is in the midst of dirty bomb training, etc.
Decorated with bacterium? Drinking fountains are for the brave-hearted (or foolish) in this day and age IMHO.
You've seen those decorative fountains in public places with the water mist spraying upwards, sometimes people toss coins into them. I think that is what the article intended to say, instead of "drinking fountain."
OPINION: It could be one of the possibilities.
