Thanks.
Over here.
As curious as the jacket itself it - I find it just as curious that this jacket was found abandoned, that a terrorist would even bring such an identifiable item in country. Of course, they are emboldened more and more every day by our enemy within.
The article stated that the agents were stationed in Hebbronville. They may have been far from home. *going to find map*
Forgive me if I'm a little skeptical. I have no doubt that there are terrorists in this country. However, a uniform for terrorists? I doubt it. Planted conveniently where it can be found? Terrorists are a bit more secret than that.
Don't discount disinformation/psyops. AQ knows processing intelligence is one of our weak spots. They've even been shown to plan based on the length of the feedback loop. From what I understand, one of their primary goals is to keep our intelligence assimilation capabilities stretched to the point of uselessness. False signals are much easier to plant than real opsec is to maintain. The latter is easier with more of the former.
Mapquest shows 285 going right through Hebbronville...
Thanks for the Ping.
And what does BTTT stand for?

Just pulled up a Mapquest map of Hebbronville, TX - Hwy 285 runs right through it.

Once more for old time's sake:
If it is ever discovered that a terrorist crossed the Mexican border executed a terrorist strike, all the king's horses and Karl Rove himself will won't be able to keep George W. Bush from being reviled by the American people.
You're welcome, though it was likely MeekoneGOP who actually ping'd you. BTTT means "Bump to the top", and is a way of "freshening" an article so it stays at the top of list when browsing.
When I read it the first time I read it as 281 (probably because I'm near 281 north of San Antonio). It could have been a misprint...
Yes it was MeekOneGOP I'm sure, I got confused when I saw the ping and that name at the top (I forget to look at the bottom for the name of the poster! I'll get it eventually). And thanks for the meaning of BTTT! I thought I was websaavy, but every place seems to have it's own code!!!

I am interested to know what exactly is printed on these patches...I will be asking someone about this soon...
Check it out a map. 285 connect to 281 on mine.
It just looks so bogus.
Naw, a lot of Texas roads have two designations. The main road thru Houston is called Westheimer. But it's other designation is FM (farm to market) 1093.
LOL! I know whaat you mean. Check the link below for help on FR 'lingo'...
