I awoke this morning and was watching the tv and began to notice that the general atmosphere is not like a country going to war but a community which has just survived a tornado or hurricane. The belief is that the storm is over and it is time to pick up the pieces and start over. Guess again. During my tenure at the CDC's Emergency Response Coordinating Group I was privy to a study of terrorist attack. So many scenarios included biologics. If they were released yesterday, the effects would begin to be noticed tomorrow. A pick-up truck driving down ...

They are without shame. On the morning that the World Trade Center was razed by terrorist attacks, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn defended the use of explosives in the New York Times. "I don't regret setting bombs," Ayers told the Times. "I feel we didn't do enough."

Fight the Right War by William Norman Grigg Within the space of about an hour, our nation was struck by three terrorist attacks that may eventually yield tens of thousands of casualties. Although the identity of the assailants is unknown at this time, our nation has endured a murderous act of aggression that simply cannot go unpunished. As Americans struggle to absorb the horror resulting from this morning’s unprecedented attacks upon our nation, it is vitally important that we keep in mind several key principles. One of the most important is contained in Alexander Hamilton’s warning that war or ...

The terrorists then forced their way into the locked cockpit and commandeered the Boeing 767 to New York, where they slammed it into one of ...

<p>THE charred remains rained from the sky all day, pieces of lives scattered to the winds. Sheets of computer paper burnt around the edges. Charred business cards with names still legible. Employment histories turned charcoal brown. Shredded pages of newsmagazines.</p>

Afghanistan is now saying that they might send Osama bin Laden to the US if they are provided with proof of his guilt. This according to the Afghani ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Salam Zaeef. No further information available at this time.

<p>THE response to this unimaginable 21st century Pearl Harbor should be as simple as it is swift - kill the bastards. No, I don't mean hunt them, arrest them, extradite them and prosecute them in a court of law.</p> <p>I mean a far quicker and neater form of retribution for this cabal of cowards. A gunshot between the eyes, blow them to smithereens, poison them if you have to.</p>

COLUMBUS — Ohio hospitals need to be prepared to treat casualities of the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., according to a spokesperson for the Ohio Hospital Association. The state's Emergency Management Agency in Columbus said hospitals in Ohio could be asked to help care for victims of the attacks. Casualities could arrive in Ohio within 24 to 72 hours of the Tuesday morning attack. Federal officials have requested all deliveries of pharmaceuticals from drug manufacturers be diverted to New York to help treat attack victims. Blood supplies also are being diverted to New York City, and ...

Commercial pilots who crisscross the country daily in jetliners like those used in yesterday's attacks say the terrorists probably included trained pilots, took advantage of lax airport security and carefully chose the flights they hijacked. The pilots and aviation safety experts expressed little surprise that the security systems of at least three airports were penetrated. "Airport security has been good enough to deter amateurs, but it would be unlikely to stop a group of well-trained, determined terrorists," said America West pilot Donald W. Steinman. To tighten airport security, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta ordered immediate new measures ...

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. -- America is at war. Declared or undeclared, this superpower was scarred deeply and perhaps permanently by at least four terrorist attacks using hijacked aircraft yesterday. Shock turned to deep unease and anger as the world awaited U.S. response to the worst terrorist attack in its history. President George Bush warned that when that response does come, the U.S. will "make no distinction between the terrorists who commit those acts and those who harbour them." Bush's words came in the wake of a series of lightning strikes which left tens of thousands of Americans missing and ...

The US Government is urging anyone with information about yesterday's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington DC to come forward and report any information they might have. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has set up a Web site for people to report information about yesterday's attack, although at the time of writing the site was, understandably, proving difficult to access. The Web address is http://www.ifccfbi.gov and provides a link to a form for people to fill in with their information. Said US Attorney General, John Ashcroft, by way of Reuters: "It takes courage to come forward in situations ...

The world will now witness what the might of 260+ Million angry American's can do....God Bless the USA!!!

<p>September 12, 2001 -- And now war has come to America.</p> <p>Unambiguous war.</p> <p>Before yesterday, the shadowy thugs who engineered death and destruction for political purposes were playing for small stakes.</p> <p>There was the first World Trade Center bombing.</p> <p>There was the murder of U.S. servicemen in Saudi Arabia - at Khobar Towers, and before that in Bahrain.</p>

I got up early to check the cable news channels for new video images of the tragedy, and found that CNN had compiled a stunning video essay which included the first WTC strike, and some moving street level amateur footage. Fox on the other hand was showing brief clips in little boxes, and when they did run full screen, the info graphics at the bottom obliterated a full third of the picture! In one case the most vital part of the image of the second plane striking was completely hidden behind the slick "Terror in America" logo and infographics. So ...

FBI agents backed up by local Sheriff's deputies found Osama bin Laden printed materiel while executing search warrent at Embry Riddle flight school in Daytoa Beach. Embry Riddle has about 250 Islamic flight students and has ties to Phoenix East flight school, which has many more. Phoenix East is run by former Saudia Airlines pilot. Phoenix East is thought to be very close to Iranian factions. P-E student pilots were suspected of transporting an Islamic terrorist to other universities in US while he hid at University of South Florida in Tampa. Ramadan Abdallah later became the leader of Islamic Jihad ...

Please join me in taking time today to pray for the victims and their families, as well as for our nation's leaders. In the days ahead, as our nation struggles to sort out this disaster and authorities investigate these horrifying crimes, we will most urgently need the hand of God upon our land. As we face the future, let us remember Psalm 27:1-3: "The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my ...

Article discusses the fate of World Trade Center, focusing on the reporters covering the attack, the firemen who sought to save the victims, and who in the process themselves became victims, and on whether George Bush has the resolve to do what must be done.

Terrorism must be punished The Forum - 09/12/2001-- Americans experienced a new Pearl Harbor on Tuesday, a wake-up call that likely will have the same effect on this nation as the Japanese sneak attack in Hawaii did in 1941. The attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and on the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., have led to an unknown sea of casualties. The terrorists claiming credit for airliner hijackings and crashes into the twin trade towers and defense building are guilty of murder and must be hunted down and held accountable. The president said as much ...
