http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/08/31/terror/main3225143.shtml They describe the explosives as "other than fireworks" what is considered "other than fireworks" these days? the stuff we used to buy in Chinatown to blow up portajohns and cement blocks in the seventies would be considered a...

...and he doesn't let the US off easy, either.

Wasteful, counter-productive, dangerous for America. This according not to a left wing newspaper, or right wing conspiracy theorist, but from the main stream media, Yahoo News. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070329/ts_nm/security_usa_dc;_ylt=Aheoox9bUSQAqb5eOwwGH9dZ.3QA

http://recordsearchlight.com/news/2007/feb/03/incident-may-be-bong-scare/ Last week, we had idiotic authorities in Boston go ape-**** over a cartoon character, not we have idiots in Redding freaking out over a home made bong. When will this insanity end?

Consider that * the US has a long record of dealing with "friendly" terrorists, like the Nicaraguan Contras and Afghani resistance during the Soviet invasion. * The US government has not displayed an attitude that it will not deal with groups using terrorist tactics. * Whether the US...

I remember the comment someone made regarding the "sniper-shooting" video that CNN aired last week; after I'd posted the video they insinuated that I was spreading propaganda for terrorist . . . What would you call this? Special Comment: Advertising terrorism The key to terrorism is not the...

What just about everyone has come to realise, I think. The Iraq invasion has only made the threat of terror worse, it has just added fuel to the fire. The danger of Osama and Al Qada has always been there, but surely a smarter approach was needed...

Someone was making this claim a while ago, I can't remember who. :confused:

Teacher won't shave until bin Laden caught POSTED: 8:19 a.m. EDT, September 13, 2006 EPHRATA, Washington (AP) -- After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Gary Weddle followed the news so closely he forgot to shave. After a week he decided not to shave until Osama bin Laden was caught or...

"It's a war of potential allies" The War on Terror - how should it be fought? Don't agree with all of this, but it's a lot more insightful with what is happening than a lot of what I hear these days. http://www.abc.net.au/rn/backgroundbriefing/stories/2006/1716276.htm#transcript The article...

IDF says it attacked Qana in S. Lebanon, destroyed launchers that fired on Haifa earlier.(AP) What will be the reaction of the IDF if rockets are fired upon Tel Aviv, as the Hezbollah has threatened to do? Would Israel be justified in launching reprisals against Iran and Syria? Those...

FBI detains 7 in domestic terror probe CNN is also reporting that the cell was infiltrated by an FBI agent who posed as an al Qaeda handler.

I've been in "campus" law enforcement for 25 years, after doing 10 years with the local county police. (yes, I am that old) Like everyone else, we had a spate of training and equipment purchase post 9/11, including moon suits, masks, and all that. For many years, emergency responders have used...

Whether it is a backlash for blowing the whistle or a conspiracy, this does not speak highly of the justice system. http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FORMER_PROSECUTOR_INDICTED?SITE=HIHAD&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2006-03-29-13-47-08

An interesting take on how we should be dealing with terrorism and how the Bush administration failed to handle it properly: http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/20060323/cm_usatoday/aneffectiveweaponagainstterroristsridicule

Hi all, read the interesting post from the other day, and thought I should add my experience in a new thread. There was a period where I would frequently experience these terrifying events- even had one where there was a horrific witch-like apparition floating above my face pummeling me. What...

If you are a geek, you might find this funny. If you aren't a geek, there is a link which explains the jokes. This tilts so far to the left, you may have to adjust your monitor, but it is still funny. The War on Terror As viewed from the Bourne shell.

Free Speech TV is showing an excellent analysis of the War on Terror, Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, and how the Bush Administration is going wrong. It's called "How - and How Not - To Fight Terrorism" and it's a talk given at the Independent Institute covering what the terrorists want, what the...

Excellent Review here . Read the whole thing first. Then, read Breman's book. Then think. Exerpts: And the key point: This is, really, the point. Out of a desire to believe in the essential goodness of man, the French left convinced itself that Hitler's thugs had a point: after all...

I thought some of the denizens of this forum would be interested in signing the letter at Unite Against Terror. So there it is.

(I posted most of this in a reply on another thread. It was rather off topic as I had misread the question raised.) The first thing we should do is to realise that the "War on Terror" rethoric is counter-productive and abandon it. We should realise that terrorism is a danger that faces any free...

http://www.freemuslims.org/march/ Unfortunately I son't be anywhere nead D.C. at that time, but I wish them well and hope they have a good showing for their demonstration.

I have a basic problem with the BS line put out by GW et al. They extoll their efforts to assure "Homeland Security" (which sound Orwellian on the face of it). They promulgate laws, some good, some bad, some inexplicable. They have you engage in improvised dance at airports. All so our fat...
