Qassam Rocket found near Sharon's ranch
The Gaza-Withdrawal-Has-Brought-Peace-In-Our-Time Update from Ynet News, with thanks to Gabrielle Goldwater:
A Qassam rocket which failed to detonate upon landing was found south of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Negev ranch on Saturday morning. The rocket was found 250 meters from the gravesite of the prime minister's wife, Lili. IDF sappers said the rocket was fired three ago at the Western Negev, during the last round of rocket fire at southern Israel from Gaza.

"Dying to be politically correct"
Oct 16, 2005
by Paul Jacob
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Each year, malaria ravages the lives of 500 million people worldwide, causing more than a million deaths, most of them children, mostly in Africa. But not in the United States. We suffer only a handful of malaria deaths each year. That wasn't always the case, though.
In the early years of the last century, there were counties in the U.S. with higher rates of malaria mortality than Freetown, Sierra Leone in Africa. Then, in the late 1940s, a chemical agent called dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane — or DDT for short — was used inside millions of American homes to eradicate malarial mosquitoes, the no-good critters that carry the disease. Malaria is no longer a significant problem in our country.
Now, each year, the U.S. government spends $200 million to help prevent malaria in the rest of the world, primarily in Africa and Asia. That's mighty nice of us. But none of the money goes for the inside residential spraying of DDT that allowed Americans to get a handle on the spread of the disease.
This summer President Bush announced a new five-year $1.2 billion effort to prevent malaria abroad. But, again, no money for DDT."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ASSISTANT TO SENIOR AL QAEDA LEADER IN IRAQ APPREHENDED
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Acting on reliable intelligence and information provided by concerned citizens, Multi-National Forces captured two senior al Qaeda in Iraq terrorists during raids in Baghdad Sept. 24.
Captured were Walid Muhammad Farhan Juwar al Zubaydi (aka Firas), (aka Abu Ziyad), (aka “The Barber”); and Ibrahim Muhammad Subhi Khayri al Rihawi (aka Abu Khalil).
“The Barber’s” duties included altering senior al Qaeda in Iraq member’s appearances by dying hair color, altering hairstyles and changing facial hair in their efforts to evade capture.
Abu Khalil, a close associate of Abu Azzam, served as an executive assistant for the terrorist emir. He also acted as a banker for Azzam and stored the terrorist organizations funds so they would not be confiscated should Abu Azzam be killed or captured.
Abu Azzam, second only to Zarqawi in al Qaeda in Iraq, was killed in a Coalition raid in September.
