If this what we all think this is.......this is very clever.....can you imagine the panic...would you want your family going to the local mall....

Very clever......we need to think outside the box......they won't hit us like before next time it will be aimed at the heartland ......you and me....not the high value target in DC and LA and NYC...

They want to wreck the economy....what better way than to blow up malls across America..

[Miss Marple]

Also Dayton, West Demoines, and San Francisco.

[Dog]

Whoa......how many does that make???... we need a count!

[Miss Marple]

That's West DesMoines, Iowa.

[Grampa Dave]

Just more of your fun loving Islamic terrorists making a living in America, the American way!

[Dog]

Jeff I think al-qaeda read your book....about the attacks on the mall.

Sheet ... I my neighbor just recently quite her job at a different jewlry store at the mall .. wanted to ask her about this place but she is not home ...

[Miss Marple]

I am only on page 2 of the google search. It takes a while because some of the malls have generic names, and I have to get directions from their sites to see what cities they are in.

And I haven't started searching that other store mentioned in the Pensacola paper yet.

[Miss Marple]

Tried to call my sister who works at a Simon Mall department store, but she isn't home yet.

[Mo1]

This got my attention one of those malls I go to all the time ..

[Miss Marple]

OK...just went to the phone book and we have one in Indy.

[Miss Marple]

Dog, I have to leave. Please keep people paying attention on this. I will be back in a couple of hours.

Suitable name...many illegals add generic first or last names, I guess he chose one that suited his intelligence the best. A big "way to go" to the clerk at the photo processing center for getting the pictures to the proper authorities.

[Dog]

Mail call both of you.

[Mo1]

Got it and right back at ya

Need to shut down the computer for a bit and nasty storm just rolled in and the lights are flickering

He says they questioned him about a photo he took two years ago of the NASDAQ building in New York, but he doesn't know how they knew about the photo.

Uh....could it be because it was found in a cave in Afghanistan labeled "Submitted by Brother Triq Hussain of PA"?

[Shermy]

Tariq Hussain says his home was searched and his computer was taken. He says the FBI accused him of funneling money to Ossama bin Laden's terror network. He says they questioned him about a photo he took two years ago of the NASDAQ building in New York, but he doesn't know how they knew about the photo.

Well, being "accused" can be a tool of inquiry. Pic of NASDAQ building? Same skill investigative skill as in fortune telling - or they knew he was there for some other reason. ..

Ashar Iqbal Butt

Is this a real name??

Perhaps a relative of Mr. Cukoo Butt?
