Police fear five empty suitcases left at Penn Station, New York FBI headquarters and other security hot spots in early April were a test by terrorists bent on a Madrid-type attack on commuter rails, The Post has learned.

A confidential Metropolitan Transit Authority police bulletin, titled "Possible Surveillance Testing Tactics," reveals K-9 cops are on edge over a "suspicious packages pattern" they encountered between the last week of March and the first week of April.

I love it! You are a talented lady.

You know SheLion, I'm so sick of politicians, what we want and need is leaders, folks we can admire and look up to. The kind of leader that is looking out for the interests of good god fearing Americans, not the kind of scum we've been getting , the kind who sell their soul to the devil for a contribution and a vote.

Well, think about it: most people running for office lie through their teeth to the constituents to get the vote.

Once in office, they are then circled by the "old timers," and are aptly swayed to come to 'their side.' So, the newbie lawmaker, wanting to impress his peers, is convinced that what the "old timers" want must be correct, since they have been in office so much longer.

Where does that leave the little constituents that voted for him? Swinging in the dust!

And when you call your Rep on it, they always say "Oh, we were outnumbered."

The only thing we can do out here is pick a candidate that we like to look at then do a lot of research on this person. You can find out just about anything on the Internet. Got to dig dig dig. Look how much has come out about JF Kerry!

This is consistent with Osama's personality, but why didn't he use them on 9/11? I can't resolve that contradiction. Ideas?

A new book by an FBI consultant on international terrorism says Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network purchased 20 suitcase nuclear weapons from former KGB agents in 1998 for $30 million.
