"Do you have any idea why the terrorists would chose Columbia, Mo?"

A pretty good hotbed for radical politics despite the flyover country
location. The 2000 Pres. Election map showed all of the rural counties
of Missouri...and one little blip in the middle: Boone County, home of
Columbia and University of Missouri.

I have relatives that work (often unhappily) at U. Missouri. They told
me that the local papers reported that about 50 Muslim/Arab male
student "evaporated" from the campus the day or so after 9-11.
AND...the lady that was part of Saddam's "inner circle" (expert in
biological weapons) got one of her degress at U. Missouri.

Right now the U. Missouri Journalism School (alma mater of Walter Cronkite
and Edgar Snow, the apologist for Mao) are busy helping out Islam.
(Effectively) we're going to have University of Missouri at Al-Jazeera:

Funny, these are the same folks that b-tch endlessly about separation of
church and state...but are sure happy to help out the missionaries for Shari'a!

Additionally,
My parents got to see the FBI raid on the home of the head of an Islamic "charity"...
the guy and his family have disappeared from sight and news coverage.

Oh...and the head of the group worked at the local water district.
Islamic trucker with a tanker full of nasty crap...and an Islamic guy
with access to major city water supply...
I think we've got Terrorist Synergy goin' here!

BTW, I think Steven ("Jihad In America") Emerson's terrorist map of
the USA shows two other Islamic terrorist-aligned groups in Columbia
(IIRC, one is HAMAS.)
