U.S. Charges Australian Linked to al-Qaida
WASHINGTON - An Australian held at the Navy's prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will face a military tribunal for allegedly training and fighting alongside members of al-Qaida in Afghanistan (news - web sites), the Pentagon (news - web sites) announced Thursday.

LOL - you'd think they would've learned a thing or two after we took down Iraq.
More Iran information- their response seems to indicate that they may well go ahead with their enrichment activities.
"US accuses Iran of 'bullying' UN"
The US has accused Iran of bullying foreign diplomats, in an escalating row over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
US diplomat Kenneth Brill said Iran's president was using "intimidation" by saying Tehran might resume its uranium enrichment programme.
President Mohammad Khatami rejected a draft before the International Atomic Energy Agency which "deplores" Iran's lack of co-operation on nuclear inspections.
Iran denies US accusations that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons.
'Something to hide'
Mr Brill, the US Ambassador to the United Nations in Vienna, said: "This full-blown effort to try to change the direction of the [IAEA] board through public and private intimidation suggests Iran has something to hide."
The IAEA resolution is very bad... [it] violates our country's rights
President Mohammad Khatami
"People who are trying to produce electricity for light bulbs don't engage in this kind of behaviour," he added, referring to Iran's position that it only wants to use nuclear technology to generate power.
He was responding to Mr Khatami's rejection of a toughly worded resolution being considered in Vienna this week by IAEA members.
"If this resolution passes, Iran will have no moral commitment to suspend uranium enrichment," Mr Khatami said.
"The IAEA resolution is very bad... [it] violates our country's rights.
"If it passes, in the future we will have more problems with co-operating with the agency."
But he added that Iran had no intention of withdrawing from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, as North Korea has done.
The BBC's Jim Muir says officials in Tehran are angry, arguing that they have met all their commitments.
They claim Britain, France and Germany - the countries behind the latest resolution - are acting under pressure from Washington.
Our correspondent says in the past, Iran has continued to co-operate despite some tough rhetoric.
But with a new conservative-dominated parliament, there is no guarantee that will continue, he says.
Suspicions remain
The draft resolution does not contain any deadline or trigger mechanism to set into motion possible sanctions on Iran.
Washington has been pushing for the IAEA to report Tehran to the UN Security Council, which could lead to formal sanctions.
An IAEA report published in April said suspicions still hung over Iran's nuclear programme.
It said the discovery of bomb-grade uranium traces at Iranian facilities, and an Iranian attempt to buy centrifuges to speed up the enrichment of uranium, were a cause for concern.
Under growing international pressure, Iran says it has suspended uranium enrichment and has allowed the IAEA to inspect its nuclear facilities without notice.

The Iraqis were happy to show off captured cruise missiles. That doesn't mean they were fully functional. The surveillance aircraft we had off the coast of China had to destroy all the equipment with thermite bombs before setting it down. Nothing quite like a blob of molten steel running over your electronics to screw them up. It makes a hell of a lot of smoke in the aircraft while the thermite reaction is running.

Dear Granny, I think you are a better person than to give in to myopic constructions on reality.
I still see this is a crucial service to FR and to our country in providing a context with lots of mutual support for a
of perspectives, backgrounds, skills, philosophies, constructions on reality, ages, experiences, professions . . .
SOME of us are EXCEEDINGLY convinced that prophetic sources offer a very significant set of puzzle pieces of great usefulness in assessing, even in preparing for VARIOUS kinds of threats.
It's fine if you don't.
But to arbitrarily or haughtily censor those of us who do is beneath the stature of the person I'd construed you to be.
I personally don't know who would be out to sabotage this thread. God can deal with them as well as our collective tirades against such whenever they crop up.
I'd just as soon you were a bit more careful about seeming to throw the baby out with the bath. Your construction on reality may not be as flawlessly perfect as you seem to construe it to be.
Are your page down and scroll buttons broken?
Did "W" make a speech to the troops this morning? I haven't had the television on but didn't see anything online either. Could you post a link?
It is in the breaking news list to the right of the screen.
or maybe a quick rundown on the content. . .
The Jihadi terrorists as well as Russia, China, Cuba, Mexico et al will very likely be keenly cocked to take advantage of any 'natural' disaster types of events and to push the terror cause in ways maximally taking advantage of such. The most dramatic way they might do so would be to start WWIII if the natural disasters plus Jihadi devastations reached enough USA cities and deaths.
I realize that many people have trouble holding many conceptual balls and complex sets of dynamics on a diversity of fronts comfortably in their minds, not to mention their emotions. It can be a challenge for the best of us in this era. But the fact remains that our era is INCREDIBLY COMPLEX, INCREDIBLY CONVOLUTED; full of a great diversity of even very wild, strange, unheard of, crazy, frightening etc. components. It will get worse. It may be very difficult even to tell which way is up, literally.
It is hard for lay persons to even guess with any reliable accuracy the validity of this or that puzzle piece. But collectively, many laypersons hereon with the many professionals hereon, could well come up with insights which are crucial to us as individuals, to our families and even to our country. DIVERSITY IS EXCEEDINGLY HELPFUL AND CRUCIAL when collecting, analyzing and interpreting such a huge complexity and diversity of puzzle pieces.
It would be foolhardy, imho, to LIMIT ALMOST ANY potentially useful puzzle pieces from our incredibly powerful TM context and analysis.
And, haughtiness toward one another or toward one another's perspectives is not overly helpful.
Certainly some would assert that the Tesla etc. stuff is sooooo tinfoil as to be at least a distraction if not worse. But how can we know. The evidence is all over the water front. It bears at least awareness and watching. Who knows if this or that puzzle piece will fit in with whatever cluster of other puzzle pieces--ahead of time--who knows. So what if some eventually turn out to have been thrown into the mix from unimportant puzzles. It's too hard to tell at this point, precisely and 100% confidently what puzzle pieces are worth our time and which aren't--SUFFICIENTLY FOR US TO CONFIDENTLY EXCLUDE WHOLE CLASSES of puzzle pieces.
Sigh.
World-wide domination doesn't leave room for 'moderate' Islaam.

FERGUSON TOWNSHIP - A Ferguson Township detective notified FBI agents after a Philadelphia woman tried to purchase Global Positioning Systems at a local electronics store last month.
Cheryl A. Wiley, 41, was charged with criminal attempted access device fraud Monday. She's accused of using a counterfeit credit card to purchase two GPS from Best Buy May 10.
Wiley went into the store, clad in a "Muslim-style dress and hood," according to court records, and was stalled by employees when the credit cards wouldn't work. She left the store before police arrived.
The incident raised red flags for District Justice Bradley P. Lunsford, who arraigned Wiley, and Ferguson Township police Detective Brian Sprinkle, who is investigating the incident.
Wiley, who is Muslim, is allegedly involved in a credit card scam based in Philadelphia, Sprinkle said. She has an extensive rap sheet, has 42 aliases and is under investigation in New York for similar activities, according to police.
An FBI agent interviewed Sprinkle Tuesday. The FBI would not comment. Sprinkle said he's not sure the incident is cause for concern.
"They might just be a bunch of dirtballs trying to make a buck," he said. "But nowadays, you just never know what might be funding terrorism."

I keep an open mind, but nukes lobbed from the sea- obtained from russia and Khan- make most sense to me at this point. Also, the cruise missiles that Clinton sent- being returned to us with a nuclear tip- makes alot of sense in light of the gps notices.
great catch...ANOTHER Philly incident...
