"Were Red Flags Ignored About Safety on the National Mall?"
Jul 13th - 1:13pm
"...the intent to take the soldier to Iran as a hostage"
Between this and the psychotic severed heads tidbit, Israel had better take off the gloves fast.
"... remember recently when the feds said we will be attacked by year's end and we will not recognize the act as terrorism at first?"
Some inner city homeland security talkinghead in Philly was rattling on about viral warfare this morning on the radio.
The D.C. murder IS more than suspicious; check this out:
Dr Mohammad Saeed,
who treated Andrea Yates about three months before she drowned her five children
told a jury in Texas that she never appeared psychotic.

< If Yonif on HH is accurate, that is exactly what is going to happen. And if Syria and /or Iran doesn't blink soon, they will be hit hard.
Thanks for the PING...
They should first commit the loony Doctor, then execute Yates the next day. Any person, sane or insane that did that to those little children, do not deserve to live another day. This is all foolishness!

He was arrested by the Canada Border Services Agency for being criminally inadmissible in Canada.

Snip: four-year-old Alberta cow died of mad cow disease, government officials have confirmed.
The Edmonton-area farm where the cow died remains under quarantine as officials investigate whether the cow had any calves. The case marks the seventh Canadian cow to die of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE. It also marks the second case discovered in the span of a week. A cow in Manitoba was confirmed last week as Canada's sixth BSE death.
The Alberta cow was pregnant when it died and was reported to provincial officials. Initial tests at a government lab produced the finding of BSE.
Poisonous snake found on plane to Amsterdam
Snip: There really was a snake on a plane -- and a poisonous one at that. Dutch customs officials found a live poisonous snake in a package sent by airmail from Hong Kong to a collector in the Netherlands.
Officials said customs inspectors thought the snake was a rubber gag gift when they first scanned the package. However, the inspectors learned that the snake was a live creature when they noticed it moving.
Officials don't know if the snake might have posed a threat to passengers had it escaped, as in the upcoming movie "Snakes on a Plane."
Another snake article - bird with snake causes power outage
Snip: A power outage that blacked out about 2,000 customers in Las Cruces is being blamed on the combination of a snake and a bird. The customers lost their electricity Tuesday after a bird dropped a bull snake on a power line, shorting out the line, El Paso Electric Co. spokeswoman Teresa Souza said.

"Saddam Hussein's Iraq Had Weapons of Mass Death"
by Deroy Murdock
Posted Jul 13, 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "What if terrorists acquired a few of these shells? “You’re not talking about transferring hundreds to make an impact in New York, in a subway, or anything like that,” Hoekstra told reporters June 21. “One or two of these shells, the materials inside of these, transferred outside of the country can be very, very deadly.”
Here and there, other potentially deadly things have emerged from Iraq’s sands.
Former weapons inspector David Kay declared on October 2, 2003 that U.S. personnel discovered “a vial of live C. botulinum Okra B. from which a biological agent can be produced.” This was, Kay said, “hidden in the home” of an Iraqi biological weapons researcher.
In January 2004, according to a New York Sun editorial published that June 1, a 7-pound block of cyanide salt popped up in Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s Baghdad safe house.
On May 2, 2004, U.S. forces in Iraq found a mustard-gas shell, rigged as an Improvised Explosive Device. The ISG dismissed this as “ineffective” due to improper storage. Of course, the effectiveness of Hussein’s weapons was not the issue. He was supposed to prove they had been destroyed or open his facilities for inspection. Instead, Hussein failed to account for 550 mustard-gas projectiles. This may have been among them.
“The Iraqi Survey Group confirmed today that a 155-millimeter artillery round containing sarin nerve agent had been found,” also reworked as an IED, Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt told reporters that May 15. Two soldiers exposed to the device “displayed ‘classic’ symptoms of sarin exposure, most notably dilated pupils and nausea,” Fox News reported. Officials also told the network that the shell contained three to four liters of sarin, roughly three-quarters of a gallon.
Weapons sleuth Charles Duelfer told Fox News June 24, 2004: “We found, you know, 10 or 12 sarin and mustard rounds.”
That July 6, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that a joint effort with the Pentagon removed 1.77 metric tons of low-enriched uranium from Iraq “that could potentially be used in a radiological dispersal device or diverted to support a nuclear weapons program,” said a DOE statement. Those 3,894 pounds of uranium were in “powdered form, which is easily dispersed,” DOE spokesman Bryan Wilkes told Hudson Institute adjunct fellow Richard Miniter, author of “Disinformation: 22 Media Myths that Undermine the War on Terror.” As Miniter concludes: “The materal would have been ideal for a radioactive dirty bomb.”
So, Americans in Iraq have found 500 sarin- and mustard-gas-filled artillery shells, live botulinum toxin, cyanide salt, and nearly two tons of uranium. Yet, no, Virginia, there were no WMDs in Iraq."

"Canada: Muslim community reacts angrily."
GLobe and Mail ^ | 07/14/06 | SONYA FATAH
Posted on 07/13/2006 10:55:39 PM PDT by Pikamax
"Muslim community reacts angrily SONYA FATAH"
From Friday's Globe and Mail
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Members of Toronto's diverse Muslim community reacted angrily to the identification of Mubin Shaikh as an RCMP and CSIS agent.
“This is like the pot calling the kettle black,” said Tarek Fatah, communications director for the Canadian Muslim Congress.
“He was the embodiment of extremism in the city. He was the exponent of sharia law in the city.”
Indeed, Mr. Sheikh has been a chief proponent of sharia law, lobbying for using the Islamic legal code at the Al-Noor Mosque, where he ran the Al-Noor Arbitration Centre, the only such centre in Canada.
“He was supporting some of the most extremist groups in Canada. Now, he's throwing up modern and Canadian values.
“It brings into question whether he's trying to salvage his own problems with the authorities.”
Mr. Fatah says that Mr. Shaikh's divisive views on the Muslim community hardly represent Canadian values.
A different but equally damning view was expressed by Aly Hindy, the controversial imam of the Salahuddin Islamic Centre in Scarborough, attended by some of the 17 arrested youth."

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520
This information is current as of today, Fri Jul 14 2006 00:17:16 GMT-0700.
LEBANON
July 13, 2006
This Travel Warning is being updated to alert American citizens that, due to ongoing security concerns in Lebanon, the U.S. Embassy has been granted authorized departure status. Family members and non-emergency American employees have permission to depart Lebanon. American citizens are urged to evaluate their personal security posture and consider departing in light of the current situation in Lebanon. The Department of State urges American citizens to defer travel to Lebanon. This supersedes the Travel Warning issued on May 2, 2006.
The Department of State is concerned for the personal safety of American citizens due to the current security situation in Lebanon. In light of the events of July 12 in Southern Lebanon and the resulting escalation in tensions in Lebanon, including the closure of Beirut International Airport and the Port of Beirut, American citizens are urged to avoid non-essential travel in Lebanon. There remains the possibility of anti-U.S. demonstrations and American citizens are reminded that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. American citizens should avoid any areas where demonstrations are possible and exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. U.S. citizens in Lebanon are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy in Beirut where they may also obtain updated information on travel and security in Lebanon. See registration details below.
Events in Lebanon underscore the need for caution and sound personal security precautions. Since March 2005, there have been 13 separate bombings in Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of at least 11 people and injuries to more than 100 others.
American citizens should keep a low profile, varying times and routes for all required travel. Americans should also pay close attention to their personal security at locations where Westerners are generally known to congregate, and should avoid demonstrations and large gatherings.
U.S. citizens who are in Lebanon despite this Travel Warning should exercise heightened caution when traveling in parts of the southern suburbs of Beirut, portions of the Bekaa Valley and South Lebanon, and the cities of Sidon and Tripoli. Hizballah has not been disarmed, it maintains a strong presence in many of these areas, and there is the potential for action by other extremist groups in Tripoli.
Palestinian groups hostile to both the Lebanese government and the U.S. operate largely autonomously inside refugee camps in different areas of the country. Intra-communal violence within the camps has resulted in violent incidents such as shootings and explosions. Occasionally this violence spills over into neighboring cities and towns.
Dangers posed by landmines and unexploded ordnance throughout south Lebanon are significant and also exist in other areas where civil war fighting was intense. Travelers should be aware of posted landmine warnings and strictly avoid all areas where landmines and unexploded ordnance may be present.
The Embassy is located in Awkar, near Antelias, Beirut, Lebanon. Public access hours for American citizens are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. However, American citizens who require emergency services outside of these hours may contact the Embassy by telephone at any time. The telephone numbers are (961-4) 542-600, 543-600, and fax 544-209. American citizens may register with the Embassy online by visiting https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs. Information on consular services and registration can also be found at http://lebanon.usembassy.gov or by phone at the above telephone numbers between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday local time.
Updated information on travel and security in Lebanon may be obtained from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 within the United States or, from overseas, 1-202-501-4444. Additional details can be found in the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet for Lebanon, the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, the Middle East and North Africa Public Announcement and the Travel Publication A Safe Trip Abroad, all of which are available on the Department's Internet site at http://travel.state.gov.

S. Korea: Legislator Chung, "N. Korea to make up to 17 Taepodong's"(more details)
Chosun Ilbo ^ | 07/14/06

Legislator Chung, "N. Korea to make up to 17 Taepodong's"
National Assemblyman Chung Hyung-geun, a member of Supreme Council of Hannara Party(note: S. Korea's conservative opposition) made a claim on July 14 regarding N. Korean missile launches. He said, "N. Korea intends to make up to 17 (Taepodong-2) missiles."
Supreme Councilman Chung added this remark, at the council meeting held in (Hannara) party headquarter at Yom-chang-dong(, Seoul,) while adding, "N. Korea has plenty of black budget."
He further explained, "N. Korea has No. 1 budget, which is for the Cabinet, and No. 2 budget, the military budget. For example, the revenues from blue crabs caught near Yonpyong Island(note: an W. Sea(Yellow Sea) Island very close to N. Korea) go to No. 2 budget. This budget finances the production of Taepodong-2 missiles. There is plenty of No.2 budget, but they ask our government to send half a million ton of rice. If we send them, the same amount of money will be further added to military budget(note: No.2 budget.)"
He went on to say, "N. Korea had launched one Taepodong-2 missile, and is preparing to launch another. N. Korea has 450 Nodong missiles, each of which costs 400,000 dollars, and 400 Scud missiles, costing 200,000 dollars each."
At the meeting, Kang Je-sup, the party chief argued, regarding N. Korean missile and nuclear crisis, "S. Korea-U.S., S. Korea-Japan, inter-Korean problems are all tangled up and turned into a mess. The idea of '(S. Korea as) N.E. Asia's Balancer' put forth by the current government is completely ludicrous, and, in another respect, made us completely out of loop in N.E. Asian affairs. He demanded, "Special committees inside the party should assemble comprehensive list of foreign policy failures by Roh Moo-hyun regime, systematically analyze them, and made recommendations (for our response.)"

Mr. Chung was a career intel-man until he went into politics. He still has extensive contacts in S. Korean intel community. His sources are reliable most of the time. He is currently No. 5 man in conservative opposition Hannara Party.

Interesting that the Islamists single out Free Masons and the Rotary Club.
Yep.
I knew about the Free Masons, but not about the Rotary Club.
