NYC police on watch for Port courthouse bomber By Andy Smith and Stephanie Akin Staff writers New York City police are targeting a man who bombed Newburyport Superior Court 28 years ago, saying he poses a threat to next week's Republican National Convention. But an anti-war activist group has accused police of trying to "smear" their reputation by linking the group with the convicted radical who terrorized New England with a series of bombings in the 1970s. New York City police say Richard J. Picariello, 55, is among 50 activists whose criminal histories will earn them extra attention next week....

"After less than a year of campaigning, John Kerry has already given the American public a chilling preview of the misguided choices he would make in the unlikely event he is elected president."...."Two of the four planes that attacked our nation on September 11 took off from Logan Airport and 80 of Kerry’s constituents died. Yet Kerry, who held evidence in his hands of Logan’s vulnerabilities, has yet to explain his failure to take meaningful action – action that well may have prevented the horrors of that fateful day.".......... This one really is a follow-up on Joan Swirsky's investigative report...

This is a MUST SEE VIDEO. Just go to the website, wait for the very short download and watch the show. This says it all about how effective this man would be, managing global terror against America! Just remember that John Kerry said, loud and clear, that the Bush Administration "exaggerated" the terror threat to America! Watch this video. Then you decide! http://www.scaryjohnkerry.com/logan.htm

<p>March 23, 2004 -- I am writing to respond to misleading statements made by Paul Sperry in his March 15 Opinion column, "The Warning Kerry Ignored." The column is wrong on the facts and in its assertions. In fact, Sen. John Kerry's office promptly forwarded Brian Sullivan's tape warning of security lapses at Boston's Logan Airport to the Department of Transportation's Office of the Inspector General and contacted the General Accounting Office. Both of these federal offices have the authority and capacity to investigate security concerns.</p>

John Kerry boasts how he "sounded the alarm on terrorism years before 9/ 11," referring to his 1997 book "The New War." Too bad he didn't blast it when it really counted - four months before the hijackings, when he was hand-delivered evidence of serious security breaches at Logan International Airport, with specific warnings that terrorists could exploit them. Former FAA security officials say the Massachusetts senator had the power to prevent at least the Boston hijackings and save the World Trade Center and thousands of lives, yet he failed to...

Let's see if we have this straight: Twenty workers at Logan Airport - where terrorists boarded two airplanes on Sept. 11 and crashed them - lied on their job applications and received access to secure areas, and they're the ones who get the rally in front of the courthouse?Supporters of the employees, who were arrested for giving false Social Security numbers or alien regisration cards when they applied for their jobs, stood outside a federal court in Boston Tuesday demanding justice. They said the workers were just trying to provide for their families, worked hard and weren't related to any...

Israelis with military or security experience seem to have the inside track with U.S. corporations and government agencies looking for anti-terrorism expertise. Boston's Logan Airport - which came under heavy criticism because it was the departure point for the jetliners that brought down the World Trade Center - hired a former security director for Israel's El Al Airlines in October. In New Jersey, where authorities were faulted for poor intelligence operations after it was learned that several suspected terrorists lived and worked in the state, Gov. James E. McGreevey recently appointed an Israeli as his special counsel on homeland security....
