Washington, September 12 The United States Wednesday warned Pakistan it expects full cooperation as it hunts those behind deadly terror attacks on its soil, as suspicion mounts that Afghanistan-based terror suspect Osama bin Laden may be involved. Pakistan Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi was called to meet Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage a day after airborne terror strikes against New York and the Pentagon killed thousands of people, officials from both sides said.

A Freeper friend of mine put this page up today as a tribute to the heroes of this horrible act of terrorism. He is too modest to post it here so I am taking the liberty of posting it on his behalf...it's too good not to share with America. A TRIBUTE To The HEROES - (Klamath Mentioned)

Yesterday's infamy has catapulted the United States into a new age, like the sudden death of a parent transports a teenager into reluctant adulthood. Our isolation is gone, our detachment from the harshest global realities now the stuff of childhood dreams. While our innocence may have been raped from us in the morning skies over Washngton and New York, our soul burns intact. Sadder, we are wiser. In grief, we strengthen in resolve. But we will never be the old America again. No words can sum up the outrage, no speeches capture the single-minded grit the United States must show ...

Radical Islam or Communist Direct Action Last May, my family and I attended an Israel Independence Day street festival in the Boston suburb of Brookline, Mass. I discreetly placed myself in the midst of a substantial and vociferous crowd of anti-Israel protesters stationed across the street. The profile of the crowd was a mix of Arab students and the same old left-wing activists I’ve observed over the years in Boston. It’s very likely that the hijackers who took of from Boston’s Logan Airport and crashed their passenger planes into the World Trade Center Towers were there. The conversations, from all ...

For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. Many local residents stocked up on ammunition and firearms Tuesday, local business operators said. Steve Romanoff, owner of Allegheny River Arsenal in Verona, said almost 30 customers bought one or two 1,000-round cases of ammunition. "There was a definite, major upswing in sales of ammunition and firearms," he said. "Much more than for the Y2K scare." "They were buying defensive-type weapons - semiautomatic handguns and rifles ... not sporting types, but the types of weapons used for defense." Romanoff said sales volume at the store was probably five times more than ...
