CIA: 9/11 Plotters Transited Iran, Govt Tie Unseen
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About eight of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers passed through Iran before attacking the United States, but there is no sign of official Iranian complicity, the CIA (news - web sites)'s acting director said on Sunday.
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

Nice post Ma
Chicago, IL, Jul. 23 (UPI) -- Chicago's state-of-the-art emergency communications center is running on normal power a day after an electrical glitch knocked out 911 service.
Calls were switched to the city's non-emergency 311 call center Thursday afternoon while authorities scrambled to determine what happened on a day when President George W. Bush was in the Chicago area for a speech about homeland security.
The outage lasted about an hour. Ron Huberman, director of the city's Office of Emergency Communications, said no calls were missed.
Huberman said a mechanical failure overheated a switch that should have automatically flipped to backup power.
The public was told to continue dialing 911 to report emergencies. The high-tech $217 million communications center receives about 18,000 calls a day.
Commonwealth Edison said the outage was not caused by Wednesday's rainstorm that blacked out more than 200,000 customers on the South Side and in the southwest suburbs.

Update: Verizon network upgrade blamed for 911 service outages
12:38 PM EDT on Friday, July 23, 2004
13News
A Verizon network system upgrade is responsible for the 911 outage experienced throughout the 757 area code Friday. According to company spokesman Harry Mitchell, Verizon was making the upgrade about 3:00 a.m. Friday when the trunk lines serving 911 centers went down. All other phone service is functioning.
Callers trying to dial 911 across eastern Virginia on Friday were unable to get through.
Verizon said that the 911 system was down for police and emergency departments in much of the region covered by the 757 area code. Problems have been reported in most Hampton Roads cities and counties.
"We're concentrating on finding and fixing the problem," said Mitchell.
The problems may be affecting only some callers, and some 911 calls are getting through.
However, Verion advises customers who have to report an emergency to dial the backup numbers until 911 dialing is restored in full:
The alternate emergency numbers are:
Virginia Beach: 427-500
Norfolk: 441-5610
Chesapeake: 382-6161
Portsmouth: 393-5300
Hampton: 727-6111 (911 service reported to be functioning properly)
Newport News: 247-2500
Suffolk: 923-2350
Williamsburg: 220-2331
James City County: 566-0112
York County: 890-3621
Isle of Wight: 357-2151
Northampton/Accomack: 787-0911
Surry: 294-5264
Chincoteague: 336-3155
Langley AFB: 764-8497

The controversy over the messages.
I have contended this since TM first started after many months of working on the illegal issue. They would use Mexico for many reasons, not Canada again
Sure, didn't you read it on the threads?
Was always criticized for my views on that
Not good. Is there any way to figure out such a very long code?
you know that is a good question, being we never heard from her/him but we merely got reamed by Wings of gold.
I wish Leti would respond, if she has a good gripe, we will protect her, but hit and run doesn't look good ya know?
Cancelled or completed?
LOL, you will never know how I needed your post ;) Thanx!
Lawmaker Wants Probe Of Manhole Blast
Teen Remains In Critical Condition
POSTED: 1:25 pm EDT July 23, 2004
NATICK, Mass. -- The head of a legislative committee that oversees utilities says his panel plans to investigate NStar. This following a manhole explosion in Natick that seriously injured a Holliston, Mass., teen.
Representative Dan Bosley of North Adams, Mass., said he's asking NStar to turn over its maintenance and budget records. Bosley -- who chairs the government regulations committee -- told the MetroWest Daily News that he also wants the utility to report directly to his committee about Tuesday's accident.
The explosion sent a manhole cover crashing through the windshield of a car in which Eric Brack, 18, was riding with his father. Brack remains in critical condition at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Bosley is also citing other recent incidents involving N-Star, including the electrocution of a dog who stepped on an underground "hot spot" in Boston.
