To do this with a group of reagents NONE of which were toxic, would be a major coup.

True. Yet it could be possible to have dry chemicals, agents in small lotion or shampoo bottles, "aftershave", and whatnot. Not to go into extreme detail, but there are many ways to transport reagents and, shall we say, other seemingly harmless things. I guarantee that there was an incident. Probably in a lav.

Damn Mike Wallace, too.

Abulhassan and Houssaiky admitted buying about 600 phones in recent months at stores in southeast Ohio, said sheriff's Maj. John Winstanley. They sold the phones to someone in Dearborn, a Detroit suburb, Winstanley said.

Could be used to trigger explosive devices....that is a lot of phones!

They (DU)are just dumber then a box of rocks

That's an insult to rocks. How those idiots can believe things like that is beyond me. It must be the drugs.

[mplsconservative]

It ticks me off,. I will not sleep easy tonight knowing these guys are here with, what I assume, is a mission. I don't buy the 'student' angle.

What does it take for the US to launch a nuke?


does it take an act of congress with the president or can the president just nuke another country?

I'm all for nuking muslims btw.

Representative John Conyers, Jr., a Detroit Democrat, was re-elected to the 14th Congressional District in November 2004, to his 20 term in the U.S. House of Representatives.


The district covers all of Highland Park and Hamtramck, as well as large portions of Detroit and Dearborn.

I guess that Mike would have thought that Hitler was a "pretty impressive fellow, as well and would have done an interview with him too; had he been in the same position, back then, as he is today. And yes, Mike Wallace IS a Jew.

I just wrote an email to a soldier in Iraq about my 9/11 memories and how the fight for good against evil is a life long endeavor.

I told him I was in an especially pensive mood, but I think it was because I had just told him about the eleven students named Mohammed that were loose in the U.S.

The news from Israel and Iran has a lot of people in a 1930's deja vue frame of mind lately.
