THEY’RE AFTER TALK RADIO … THIS IS JUST A WARNING SHOT  Tom Daschle started slamming talk radio yesterday, especially The Godfather, and nobody out there seemed to understand just what was going on. Daschle knows that talk radio in America is.  I’ll admit that I haven’t seen the numbers, but I would guess that more people in this country listen to talk radio on a daily basis than watch any of the network newscasts.  This, of course, doesn’t make Democrats or liberals happy. Liberals, you see, cannot survive in talk radio.  You simply can’t sit behind a microphone for hours a...

I have a suggestion that from now on instead of referring to 'Liberal', 'Leftist', 'Democrat' we should consider using the term Pelosian which has a rather nice ring to it and might catch on.

The Bush administration has evidence that suggests Pakistan assisted North Korea's covert nuclear weapons program as recently as three months ago, much later than previously disclosed, according to sources in the administration and on Capitol Hill.

WASHINGTON — FBI investigators and federal scientists have been secretly working for months to replicate the type of anthrax used in last year's deadly mail attacks, part of a previously undisclosed strategy designed to determine precisely how the spores were manufactured, officials say. The experiments began earlier this year and, according to one source familiar with the operation, are being carried out at Utah's Dugway Proving Ground, a top Pentagon bioweapons research center.

Patients in the city are accustomed to waiting long hours before they are seen by their doctors. Delays by doctors in arriving at their clinics, too many appointments given out on the same day or simply the inefficient management of the practice means that the sight of relatives accompanying patients anxiously pacing corridors as they await their turn is a common one at city clinics. The staff of one well-known heart specialist is known to send in patients only in exchange for a suitable 'bribe'. In the case of another leading city general practitioner, the good doctor is noted to...

KARACHI - As widely expected, the strong showing by an alliance of Muslim religious parties at Pakistan's national elections two weeks ago has already had an impact on the country, even though the new parliament has yet to be formed. This is illustrated by the furor surrounding the detention in Lahore of renowned Dr Amir Aziz on Monday by Pakistani and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials. Amir is said to be wanted by the US in connection with allegations that he supplied anthrax spores and biochemical weapons formulae to Islamist terrorists. He has also openly admitted to treating Osama...

Just heard on WABC, breaking news, a large bomb explosion in a department store in Manilla, South East Asia.

Excerpts from an interview with Clark Staten of emergency.com on the Batchelor Alexander program WABC "The sniper clearly has received escape and evasion training. There could be two teams. This is a first. Most people who are knowledgeable about this case will admit this is a unique case. We are seeing an op here that doesn't have a precedent. In American history we never have had such a crime. And the other time that happened was the anthrax case. Son of Sam doesn't work with this one. The only motive I can think of is to cause fear in the...

Media Manufacture Cloud of Suspicion Over Hatfill Posted July 22, 2002 By Nicholas Stix Just point and click. Those two steps, and a long e-mail "cc" list, apparently are all that it takes to spread a hoax around the world today. It works like a computer virus, and with consequences no less dangerous. Just ask Dr. Steven J. Hatfill. Readers of Insight and her sister daily, the Washington Times, know Hatfill through his attempts over the years to warn the public of America's lack of readiness against biowarfare attacks. However, the mainstream liberal press ignored Hatfill — until late June,...

A Phoenix FBI agent's request for a canvass of U.S. flight schools for al Qaeda terrorists was formally rejected within several weeks of his July 10 memo, after mid-level officials at FBI headquarters determined they did not have the manpower to carry out the task, sources familiar with the memo said yesterday.

Just heard on WABC, New York, anthrax has been discovered in the Post Office which Mrs. Lundgren used. Probably not a new 'attack' but why did it take them so long to find it????

I just heard an interview with someone named Andrew ? (I didn't get the last name) a Canadian who reports on a meeting held jointly by the CIA and CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Services) who claims Iraq has developed Smallpox and another disease called Camelpox (for which there is no vaccine), as well as Anthrax (of course). He claims agents already probably are infiltrating and estimated casualties (infecting the NY subway, etc.) would be 1,000,000 in New York and California. Have a good night.

Each round gets worse The current round of military action against the Palestinians is about to end, but their fight against Israel continues. From an operational perspective, the Palestinians have lost this round, too. The terrorist infrastructure steadily built up since the Oslo Accords has taken a mighty blow. But the Palestinians have not given up, and terror has not been eradicated: the suicide bomber who blew up a bus of people traveling from Haifa to Jerusalem this week is proof of that. Israel has no choice but to retaliate forcefully against terror attacks on its citizens, but it is...

Whoever concocted the wispy white powder used in last fall's anthrax attacks followed a recipe markedly different from the ones commonly used by scientists in the United States or any other country known to have biological weapons, law enforcement sources said yesterday. Follow the link for the remainder.

No, this is awful! I don't know where anything is anymore! Where are the sidebars? I used to go straight to them to find out what was going on.

<p>WASHINGTON -- Last October, the public daily anthrax briefings here got steadily more confusing, with experts variously calling the strain mailed to media and government offices either "a very potent form" or "a common variety."</p> <p>It is now apparent that information coming into the Federal Bureau of Investigation was no less muddled. So, even though they were desperate for clues that would quickly lead to a suspect, investigators decided then to re-evaluate everything they had been told and build their scientific case from scratch.</p>

<p>In addition, a state official who asked not to be identified told the Globe that the bombs contained a complex mix of explosive materials that has raised questions about whether the suspect had assistance.</p> <p>The alleged bomber, still tentatively identified as 28-year-old British national Richard C. Reid, appeared in federal court in Boston yesterday, amid growing concern about how he was able to board a flight in Paris apparently with enough explosives to bring down the plane.</p>
