MEGA BUMP to your summary Godzilla.
Thank you.
"Godzilla note: Well, these weren’t closet cartoon jihadi’s. Additional reports that one of the individuals has links to some variety of satanism/occult following."
Yep.
Rome, 10 March. (AKI) - The most chilling footage in a new al-Qaeda video comes near the end of the hour-long extravaganza of bomb blasts, sheep-slaying, and maimed Americans. It shows hooded militants at work in a primary school class in the Iraqi city of Ramadi.
Children are asked to sing jihadi songs, quizzed on what they think of America and rewarded with pens, rulers and erasers. The video, of which Adnkronos International (AKI) has obtained a copy, is the work of Ansar al-Sunna, part of the galaxy of Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and seeks to show the extent of militants' control in the restive al-Anbar province.

Terrorism: Madrid Train Bombers "Were Planning Further Attacks"
Madrid, 10 March (AKI) - Almost two years to the day since al-Qaeda linked bombers killed 191 passengers and injured almost 1,000 in devastating train bombings the Spanish capital on 11 March, 2004, it has emerged that the bombers had planned to carry out further attacks in Spain, according to disclosures published on Friday in the Spanish daily, ABC.
A particuarly disturbing relevation in the ABC report is that other terrorist attacks were planned on Spanish soil. Investigators reportedly found details of planned attacks by the Madrid cell on the computer of one of the bombing suspects, Jamal Ahmidan, known as 'the Chinaman'. Among the cell's possible future targets were an English school in Madrid, and the Avila and Toledo synagogues, ABC reported.
Investigators found a kind of manual on how to organise a terrorist group that Ahmidan had downloaded onto his computer one week after the deadly attacks from an 'online al-Battar training camp' based in Saudi Arabia. The 'instructions' received by Ahmidan included how to form a terror command structure in a large city.

Be on high alert tomorrow...3/11.
Anniversary of Madrid bombings.
Gaads. Bump.
Heading out for the night.
Stay safe everyone.
Although not as public as the ports issue, this issue questions the relevance of the entire "homeland security" program. When Minutemen are labeled vigilantes and illegals are patted on the back in retrospect, credibility factors become blurred. Are Latino groups dictating federal policy? Will our politicians see that immigration laws are vigorously enforced? Will the federal government assist in rounding up illegals and giving them the boot, or will it suck up to the Latino protesters and hem-haw the issue until we officially become North Mexico?
Your summaries are greatly appreciated Godzilla.
You're welcome Cindy. I sure do appreciate you putting various links at the beginning of each thread, it's quite handy.
DAMASCUS (AFP) - The Palestinian Islamic radical group
Hamas's supremo Khaled Meshaal slammed the Israeli government's plan to finalise the country's borders by 2010 as a "declaration of war". The Hamas leader warned in an AFP interview that the Islamic group would refuse any international aid that required the party to soften its line toward Israel, which it refuses to recognise.

KARACHI - A Pakistani court on Friday freed two doctor brothers who had each been sentenced to seven years in prison last year for giving money and medical treatment to militants, their lawyer said.
The brothers, Akmal and Arshad Waheed, were found guilty in March last year on a charge of harboring members of a domestic militant group called Jundallah, blamed by authorities for a series of terrorist attacks in the country.
They were also convicted of providing members with medical treatment covertly, providing them financial assistance and sending them for terrorism training.

Pakistan: Surveillance Flights Begin In Waziristan
Karachi, 10 March (AKI) - US surveillance aircraft have begun flights across the tribal belt of North Waziristan which lies on the Afghan-Pakistan border. Tribal sources told Adnkronos International (AKI) that the flights have been taking place over the last two days, coming soon after the meetings in Islamabad this week between the top US military comander, General John Abizaid, and Pakistani authorities.
The aim of the meetings was to sort out a mechanism to combat cross-border infiltration by militants and at the same time ensure that neither Pakistan nor the allied troops will then face complaints of breaching borders.

How to Spot a Pirate (Seriously)
March 10, 2006
Although no one seem to have issued nay "official" guidance, merchant mariners plying pirate-infested waters, as well as naval personnel conducting anti-piracy patrols, seem to have developed some simple "rules of thumb" to improve their chances of spotting pirates.
@ Boat Size: Most pirates, whether in the northwestern Indian Ocean, off Somalia, or in the region around the Straits of Malacca, are using relatively small boats, essentially the same size as used by the local fishermen. So if a couple of fishing skiffs try to approach you, watch out. And be especially careful if they're moving at a good clip. That's because ordinary fishermen are loath to open up their engines, since fuel is money.
@ Crew Size: Most fishing boats have at most three crewmen. If there are more than that in a boat, or in nearby several boats, it's likely that someone's up to no good.
@ Fishing Gear: If you don't spot nets or other equipment associated with fishing, the boat may be looking for bigger game.
@ Birds: Fishing boats usually are accompanied by little clouds of sea birds; no birds, no fish, and that means pirates.
@ Fishing Grounds: Even in the relatively undeveloped regions where piracy flourishes, local governments usually maintain websites identifying fisheries, particularly those in their exclusive economic zones. If you spot fishing boats far from any of these, caution would be advised
@ Weapons: Even if there are only two or three guys in a boat, if they're waving weapons around, it's probably a good idea to avoid them.

You read the article, then went back, and it was gone? With the nature of the article that is certainly odd.
Thank you Bump!
American States Far Away From Washington, D.C. are Helpless
And what does that mean?!
I guess they would like us all to be shaking in boots :-)
correction: shaking in our boots
The thread has grown RR and I just wish everyone would get
as angry ,angry enough to mobilize as they did all the way from Mexico, CA etc to come here today.
Bosses sent them, politicians sent them, etc.
If we could mobilize as this against illegal immigration than it would matter.
I mean, for goodness sake, they did this right in front of the Federal building! I have posted many pics on the thread now:
