I already posted this before realizing that there was an earlier thread, but I think it adds a few details, so I'm reposting it. And your gripping graphic looked like the appropriate place to make these obervations!

Spain closed its embassy in Baghdad last week and called its civilian personnel home to "review security procedures." According to the statements in the Spanish press, they will be bringing them back in Dec. (when Ramadan is over, in other words).

Bin Laden specifically mentioned Spain in the hit-list in his latest "news-flash from the beyond," and he also threatened a number of other American allies, including Arab states and American interests in Arab states.

I will say that I have been rather scoffing at all the hysteria on FR about "attacks in November," etc., but obviously there's a lot more to it than just the ravings of the Elvis bin Laden.

I've had an increased number of big, four prop engined military aircraft, flying around my area the last few days.

I just looked it up, the aircraft are C-130's.
