ROME (AP) -- An Italian prosecutor said Wednesday he had provided U.S. authorities with transcripts of phone calls between terror suspects, including one that reportedly refers to a woman ready to carry out a chemical attack in the United States.

Jeeze, I hope security in and around Washington DC is as tight as is being reported. So many people will be there Friday.

[cripplecreek]

Personally I find it odd that mideastern leaders chose not to attend the G8 summit.

[airborne]

Yea, Friday...6/11

[Cap Huff]

Hmmmmmmm . . . .

[The G Man]

In most cases, the likely location of the attacks was Iraq, he said

That's silly. How would there possibly be chemical weapons in Iraq? As if!

[Walkingfeather]

As Reagan said...

"Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act."

They hit DC on friday and we will start the Bitchslappin. First to the Libs here. THen the Canadians, Then the French and for dessert the middle east. They wont know what hit em. We are through playing Mr. Nice guy.

Should Hildebeast and Ole Crusty be under surveillance?

Should Hildebeast and Ole Crusty be under surveillance?

Well, Hillary is a WMD - Witch w/ Massive Derriere..

[JennysCool]

Heck yes! Don't they know Ted Kennedy has covered every inch of Iraq ground and determined there are NO WMD? Sheesh.

[txflake]

Hmm... were any invited and then declined?

[Quilla]

Yes, I noticed that after someone posted it on a thread just the other day. 9/11...3/11...6/11 - haunting indeed.

[expatpat]

What ME countries are part of the G8?

[traumer]

Including Israel.... Do they know something ?

[txflake]

ISRAEL was invited and declined??

[blanknoone]

Israel was not invited. Many ME countries were, and about half accepted, half declined. I know the egyptians and Saudis excuse for not going was they were afraid they would face pressure to reform.

Here's a shot from the surveillance cam.

Suits me! My father's family is French, but they had enough sense to leave in the early 1600's. ;-)

This stuff sounds like the Patriot Act. Wait, we can't use the Patriot Act to protect us. That is not fair. That is unconstitutional. Let them gas us. That works.

Tony sez:

They're Gr8!

[weegee]

This confounds the Kerry campaign. They can't say "Bush can't protect you!" if the terrorists keep getting foiled in their plots.

[Camerican]

Not odd at all. There are no middle eastern G-8 members. The G-8 is comprised of (supposedly) the top 8 most industrialized countries in the world.

Now, if you mean the S-8 (the 8 scummiest, sh*thole countries of the world), yes there are a number of middle eastern members - but they're not meeting until September.

[4everontheRight]

So were there any ME countries invited but declined to attend? This whole thing is very troubling.

My latest "terror attack" theory is the terrorist attack the Democratic Convention. This way, they can get the Dems to turn on Bush for "purposely" not protecting them and of course, Hillery will not be there that night and she becomes the Dem nominee.

[expatpat]

Thanks, Quilla, just as I thought.

[4everontheRight]

From FoxNews

But the plan has stirred deep suspicion in the region, home to some of the world's most authoritarian regimes. Many Arab and European countries view the proposal as unwanted meddling. And three Arab countries -- Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Morocco -- turned down Bush's invitation to participate.

What was March 11?

Looks like it was nothing serious. Probably some idiot who ignored the rules.

This is muslim year 1425, the month is Rabi-us-Saani and their 22nd will correspond with our Friday, June 11 2004.

It is also a special day for Sufi muslims, but I think it has more to do with succession of the turban or caliph (??).

I believes their days also begin at sundown like the Jewish calender, but not sure.

[Sender]

First the libs here, definitely ;) Always take out the most immediate threat first.

[paleocon patriarch]

Caution!!
This is a certifieable tinfoil alert! I repeat. This is a certifiable tinfoil alert!

Put/Call Ratio 21-day moving average has soared above 1.00 for the first time in at least a decade

Fed pumps m3 recently to unprecidented levels to insure liquidity

London prepares for mass evacuation

7 carrier groups put to sea for first time on short notice

Gipper (born 1911) D.C. funeral scheduled for 6/11>

This concludes todays certifiable tinfoil alert.

Remember these gems from Rumsfelds pre 08:011:05 11/09/2001 rules
On Washington D.C.
The two most important rules in Washington; D.C. are:
Rule One: -"The cover-up is worse than the event."
Rule Two: "No one ever remembers the first rule."

On, Intelligence
"Hire paranoids. Even though they have a high false-alarm rate, they discover all plots."
"Never attribute to a conspiracy that which can be explained by incompetence."

Being an almost brand-new member, I think I ought to contribute a sort of "security deposit" to the common kettle: [I tried to post it as a thread and got stuck in the computer - so I'm posting it as a reply on this thread].
Decades ago in USSR I went through ROTC type training on bio/chemical defense. More recently, in the USA, during anthrax attacks, people exhibited strong interest in what they could do for self-protection using commonly available materials, and were writing down the recipes I still remembered. Considering this information to be of public benefit and interest (hope no one will really need it), I repeat it here:
Besides using personal protection equipment (gas mask, gloves, respirator):
In case of nerve gas contamination one should use a basic amine solution (like ethanolamine) in water, ca. 5-10%,- to apply it to the exposed surfaces, and to rub these surfaces with it. As ethanolamine is somewhat uncommon, regular ammonia solution from hardware store could be used instead (it smells very strongly, is 28% and has to be diluted to ca. 5%). If one is to pour concentrated ammonia on the floor of a contaminated room, close the doors and get out of there as fast as possible - by the time ammonia dissipates the nerve gas would be neutralized.
In case of biological/VX contamination one uses chloramine solution (or even household bleach, diluted maybe 1:1 with water) in the same fashion. If the surface to be rubbed with these deactivating solutions is human skin, then, after decent interval after treatment, it is to be rinsed with clean water. Pouring concentrated bleach in open glass/ceramic pan and leaving it on the floor of a closed room would stink the room with chlorine and provide a poor man version of chlorine dioxide treatment they did in Senate building.
Under no conditions should one mix together these 2 recipes mentioned, so one would need external information on the nature of likely threat. The recipes are not foolproof, but were considered sufficient for protection under field conditions.

Yep, JUST in time for Regan's funeral.

The EU? They have four nations in the G8 and they also have a membership for the whole continent? Five euro votes? We have states with bigger GDPs than some of their nations. In fact I think we have states with bigger GDPs that the whole EU. California maybe?

In one of the intercepted phone conversations, Osman Ahmed refers to a woman ready to carry out a chemical attack in America, the ANSA news agency reported.

Sounds like she is in the US.
