It was TATP, same as the OU bomber, Hinrichs. I just wrote it up from the news conference, on a thread here. Will post the link when I get a sec.
Re almost no English spoken by evacuees.
One of the major factions in Lebabon was the Maronite Christians. Before WW II they were the majority, now they are a minority. Probably in danger during bad (Islamic warfare) times. Many probably came to the US 20 or 30 years ago, but some tried to go back in last year's euphoria about the kickout of Syria. Many probably visiting long missed relatives. Try to have a little understanding and compassion.
Shep reporting that Israel will start humanitarian aid into Lebanon with the EU group.
And the FBI held him harmless. Nope, not a terrorist, just a depressed young man.
Wonderful...I have a problem though...where I live, Hugh Hewitt, John Gibson (who I love), and Mark Levin (who I like)..are ALL on the radio at the same time!! LOL
I keep forgetting to turn to Hugh...but, after reading this blog..I will make a point to listen tonight. I am anxious to hear what he has to say about what Kofi Annan said today.
You have Freepmail
Wonder how much of that aid will end up with Hezbullah? Anyone? Anyone?
Your welcome.
These are my main posts while we were waiting for the detonation - and then the big bang itself, lol.

If not, it will be up to us. It is anyway.
Dana had an interview with a guy who was evacuated - thought a great job was done - in touch via internet, etc.
The worst part of that interview with Schoen is that when he was introduced, she said that he has worked with most of the Israeli Prime Ministers...Barak, and even OLMERT NOW..
BUT, when asked about Hezbollah and should the US back Israel...he was crying about the treatment by the BUSH Administration..and complaining about the treatment of Hezbollah!
My friends (Americans) over and over have said in their emails how grateful they are for what's being done...and they have two small kids and are still trying to get out.
They've been at the port a few times trying to get out now, and they actually decided to not go down Friday unless they were contacted b/c they were so horrified at what they saw in attitude and behavior of people today. They said they understand people being scared and frustrated and tired and hot, but that's not an excuse...people pushing moms with small kids and just bowling them over trying to get a voucher to get on a boat, people shoving old people that could hardly walk as it was...
So if, over the weekend, you see a family with two small kids, no accent, a blonde wife and a bald husband being GRATEFUL, you might just be seeing my friends...because, like I said, they are SO appreciative of what's being done. They thought they'd be on their own!
Nassie's playing games again.
Saw that. It's nice to know that not everyone is ungrateful.
I've turned the television off, Txsleuth, and have been listening to music. What happened?
I will say a prayer for your friends. Thank you for sharing their story. I hope they are home very soon.
Pallone huh?
New Jersey?
No comment.
I wish I'd seen the entire interview. I did enjoy the guy sputtering at the end. He wasn't making sense at all.
