From the beginning I said I have the right to speak to anyone. I am a free human being. They insisted I would not meet anyone, nor speak, so they kept me for 18 years. After 18 years, I decided if they let me go I should live as a normal human being. Not to fear, not to play obeying orders, like I'm a spy. I should go to the street and meet anyone and talk, because I want to exercise my humanity. For these reasons I'm challenging them and speaking all the time. If I were to follow their orders they would come with more orders, and orders for others. I also want to use my case to let the people in Palestine -- the Palestinians -- see how to challenge Israel and the rules it puts on them. They should exercise their freedom of speech on every subject.

What is true of New Mexico and Arizona is true of our nation, which is now home to an estimated 10 million to 15 million aliens who have broken our laws and broken into our country. It is a mark of the cowardice of our leaders that they are so terrified of being called "bigots" they tolerate this criminality. The moral rot of political correctness runs deep today in both national parties.

A president like Teddy Roosevelt would have led the Army to the border years ago. And if Fox did not cooperate, T.R. would have gone on to Mexico City. Nor would Ike, who deported all illegal aliens in 1953, have stood still for this being done to the country he had defended in war

An FBI report of investigation (FD 302) obtained by this newspaper contains never-before-published information and allegations regarding links between a former member of the Army's elite special forces, Timothy McVeigh, and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

The man at the center of these revelations is David Michael Alexander Hollaway, an individual whose life experiences appear to be as unusual as they are conflicted.

If that happens, Prestowitz predicts: "It would make the Great Depression of the 1930s look like a walk in the park."

Australia would be sucked into the vortex of such a recession, which would cause great hardship throughout the world, he warns.

Prestowitz is not a doomsayer, neither is he alone in his views. As president of the Economic Strategy Institute, a Washington think tank, he is in regular contact with the most influential US business leaders, several of whom -- Warren Buffet and George Soros included -- have taken steps to hedge their currency positions against the possibility of a cataclysmic plunge in the greenback.

"Right now," he says, "we have a situation in which the US is running huge trade deficits -- about $US650 billion ($766 billion) in 2004 -- which are financed by borrowings from the central banks of Asia -- mainly the Chinese and the Japanese. All the world's central banks are chock-full of US dollars -- they're holding many more dollars than they really want. They're holding those dollars because at the moment there's no great alternative and also because the global economy depends on US consumption. If they dump the dollar and the dollar collapses, then the whole global economy is in trouble.

"This in many ways is the worst-case scenario that the oil industry has been fearing," said Geoff Sundstrom, spokesman for the AAA motorist group. "Production, distribution and refining has slowed to a crawl through the whole area."

"It's not out of the question that $80 could be the next barrier if there's long-term damage," said Gerard Burg, minerals and energy economist at National Australia Bank.

The last time oil prices, adjusted for inflation, averaged $80 a barrel was 1980, after the Iranian revolution

The document released today is an FBI report labeled, "Domestic Terrorism Symposium," and describes a meeting that was intended to "keep the local, state and federal law enforcement agencies apprised of the activities of the various groups and individuals within the state of Michigan who are thought to be involved in terrorist activities."

Among the groups mentioned are Direct Action, an anti-war group, and BAMN (By Any Means Necessary), a national organization dedicated to defending affirmative action, integration, and other gains of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. The FBI acknowledges in the report that the Michigan State Police has information that BAMN has been peaceful in the past.

"Labeling political advocacy as 'terrorist activity' is a threat to legitimate dissent which has never been considered a crime in this country," said Kary Moss, Executive Director of the ACLU of Michigan. "Spying on people who simply disagree with our government's policies is a tremendous waste of police resources."

Insurgents in Al- Anbar province, the center of guerrilla resistance in Iraq, have fought the U.S. military to a stalemate.

After repeated major combat offensives in Al-Fallujah and Ar-Ramadi, and after losing hundreds of soldiers and Marines in Al-Anbar during the past two years -- including 75 since June 1 -- many American officers and enlisted men assigned to Al-Anbar have stopped talking about winning a military victory in Iraq's Sunni Muslim heartland.

Somehow Hasib’s mundane act of gustatory desperation doesn’t seem to square with the picture of a fanatical Islamic terrorist on a mission to send as many infidels as possible to their doom. If he’d hung out for half an hour the 18-year-old alleged jihadi could have asked the houris for a whole feast (and much else besides), but apparently he couldn’t resist the lure of the Quarter Pounder. It is as though, in his last hour on this mortal, corrupt, coil, he suddenly wondered with horror whether Paradise might be strictly vegetarian. Nuts.

Though Hurricane Katrina didn't deliver a direct hit on New Orleans Monday, there still were fears that the storm could turn one of America’s most charming cities into a vast cesspool tainted with toxic chemicals, human waste and even coffins released by floodwaters from the city’s legendary cemeteries.

Experts have warned for years that the levees and pumps that usually keep New Orleans dry have no chance against a direct hit by a Category 5 storm.

Katrina reached Category 5 level Sunday before weakening just slightly to a strong Category 4 storm early Monday. But with top winds of 150 mph and the power to lift sea level by as much as 28 feet above normal, the storm threatened an environmental disaster of biblical proportions, one that could leave more than 1 million people homeless.

“All indications are that this is absolutely worst-case scenario,” Ivor van Heerden, deputy director of the Louisiana State University Hurricane Center, said Sunday afternoon.

Bunnatine Greenhouse was told last month by corps commander Lt. Gen. Carl Strock that she was being removed from the senior executive service, the top rank of civilian government employees, because of poor performance reviews.

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society - John F. Kennedy

It is axiomatic that secrecy is the handmaiden of mischief, especially by government. When we are facing a foreign threat, the government tends to toss around terms like "national security" as a justification for increased secrecy. But often, such an invocation is not as much about making our nation safe as protecting the government from embarrassment or challenge by critics.

That is what makes the case of Sibel Edmonds so dangerous

With media attention paid to past hate crimes, such as KKK cross burnings on African Americans’ home lawns, it’s increasing difficult for hate groups to use conventional methods of the past to terrorize the people they hate. With today’s sophisticated electronics technology, unconventional methods, which can’t be proven in court or reported by the news media, are now being used by hate groups as a means of implementing their extreme agenda.

Mention the word Jew in anything except reverential tones and it’s like calling the Pope a paedophile. Talk about walking on soft-boiled eggs as Muddy Waters used to sing.

Such is the lock the Zionist propaganda machine has on the way anything to do with Israel is reported that even ‘Jews’ are not exempt from the wrath of the Zionist disinfo blitz as the various vicious campaigns being conducted on university campuses amply demonstrate against so-called self-hating Jews who don’t fall into line behind the mythology of the Zionist state testifies to.

Now many in the West excuse this craven obeisance by putting it down to some kind of collective guilt about the ‘Holocaust’, oh that such guilt should extend to my Roma brethren, who were also exterminated in their millions and to this day, remain the ‘niggers’ of Europe, excluded, ghettoized and victimised. Where are the endless stream of documentaries and rending of garments concerning our treatment of the Roma people? Where are the daily news stories about the continued treatment of the Roma right across Europe, let alone what the Nazis did to them sixty years ago?

The U.S. has ample crude oil supplies, even if major hurricane destruction trims Gulf oil output and foreign imports, but refining capacity is extraordinarily tight. As a result, prices for gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel and other products have flirted with records and could go even higher this week.

"If this thing knocks out significant quantities of refining capacity ... we're going to be in deep, dark trouble," said Ed Silliere, vice president of risk management at Energy Merchant LLC in New York.

The market has been on edge for months, with traders and speculators buying on the slightest fear. With Katrina, all those fears could be realized, Beutel said.

"Basically I could spill a can of oil at my local gas station and you'd see the price of crude go up by $1 per barrel," he said, predicting futures would likely top $70 per barrel in coming sessions.

Crude settled at $66.13 a barrel Friday on the New York Mercantile Exchange, down $1.36 after hitting $68 last week.

The announcement of bird flu in a seagull in Oulu, Finland on Friday will probably be followed by an announcement that H5N1 has indeed invaded Europe. Evidence from southern Siberia suggests H5N1 wild bird flu is in northern Siberia, and birds from northern Siberia migrate over Finland, so addition sightings will probably be reported next week (see map). Although tests of the current isolates are projected to last 3 weeks, sequencing of the HA cleavage site is routine, and such a sequence will almost certainly show the 6 basic amino acids (RRRKKR) that are diagnostic for H5N1 from Asia. and HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza), a reporable disease.

A ROYAL servant who claimed he was raped by one of the Prince of Wales's close aides died yesterday.

George Smith alleged he was raped by another royal servant in 1989, but the claim was never proven and was strenuously denied.

His father, Peter Smith, confirmed that the 44-year-old, a Falklands War veteran who had been unwell for some time, died on Wednesday.

Mr Smith, who lived in Newport, south Wales, was a former corporal in the Welsh Guards and Prince Charles's valet for nine years until being dismissed in 1997.http://tproxy.guardster.com/proxy.php/333034303000e18c9292022b7dfdbcd4f262bde2e4fc92e2dcc43cbde4fc5cfdd26cbde4b45cfbcc145b430b5303035323200600

In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran. The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing—that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack—but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections.

"At a time when the American people are turning against the Iraq War
and favor a withdrawal of U.S. troops, and British and American leaders are
publicly discussing a partial pullback, the leading Democratic presidential
candidates for '08 are unapologetic war hawks. Nearly 60 percent of Americans
now oppose the war, according to recent polling. Sixty-three percent want U.S.
troops brought home within the next year. Yet a recent National Journal
'insiders poll' found that a similar margin of Democratic members of Congress
reject setting any timetable. The possibility that America's military presence

Several years ago, two Harvard researchers, Susan Starr Sered and Rushika
Fernandopulle, set out to interview people without health-care coverage for a
book they were writing, “Uninsured in America.” They talked to as many kinds of
people as they could find, collecting stories of untreated depression and
struggling single mothers and chronically injured laborers—and the most common
complaint they heard was about teeth. Gina, a hairdresser in Idaho, whose
husband worked as a freight manager at a chain store, had “a peculiar mannerism
of keeping her mouth closed even when speaking.” It turned out that she hadn’t
been able to afford dental care for three years, and one of her front teeth was
rotting. Daniel, a construction worker, pulled out his bad teeth with pliers.
Then, there was Loretta, who worked nights at a university research center in
Mississippi, and was missing most of her teeth. “They’ll break off after a
while, and then you just grab a hold of them, and they work their way out,” she
explained to Sered and Fernandopulle. “It hurts so bad, because the tooth aches.
Then it’s a relief just to get it out of there. The hole closes up itself
anyway. So it’s so much better.”

A circumcision ritual practiced by some Orthodox Jews has alarmed city health
officials, who say it may have led to three cases of herpes - one of them fatal
- in infants. But after months of meetings with Orthodox leaders, city officials
have been unable to persuade them to abandon the practice.

The city's intervention has angered many Orthodox leaders, and the issue has
left the city struggling to balance its mandate to protect public health with
the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom.
...
But the most traditionalist groups, including many Hasidic sects in New York,
consider oral suction integral to God's covenant with the Jews requiring
circumcision, and they have no intention of stopping.

Anyone who still believes that the U.S. neo-conservatives who led the drive to
war in Iraq are diabolically clever geo-strategic masterminds should now
consider Iran's vastly improved position vis-a-vis its U.S.-occupied neighbour.

Not only did Washington knock off Tehran's arch-foe, Saddam Hussein, as well as
the anti-Iranian Taliban in Afghanistan, but, with this week's completion of a
new constitution that would guarantee a weak central government and substantial
autonomy to much of the Shiite south, it also appears that Iran's influence in
Iraq -- already on the rise after last spring's inauguration of a pro-Iranian
interim government -- is set to grow further.

While President George W. Bush travels around the country in a last-ditch effort
to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble frantically behind the scenes
to hide the dark mood of an increasingly angry leader who unleashes
obscenity-filled outbursts at anyone who dares disagree with him.
“I’m not meeting with that goddamned bitch,” Bush screamed at aides who
suggested he meet with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died
in Iraq. “She can go to hell as far as I’m concerned!”
...
Bush, whiles setting up for a photo op for signing the recent CAFTA bill,
flipped an extended middle finger at the camera before going live. Aides say the
President often “flips the bird” to show his displeasure and tells aides who
disagree with him to “go to hell” or to “go fuck yourself.”

Germs are inherently unpredictable. You cannot predict how far they spread and how many people will be affected.

It is not a far fetched notion that the people intent on depopulation might use The Avian Flu hoax to stage multiple chemical incidents. Chemicals are much more controllable than biologicals and who would be the wiser?

Surveys of 1,200 Mexican adults in February and 1,200 in May, conducted in their homes, show that Mexicans' rising education levels have not weakened the desire to live and work in this country.

More than half of Mexicans say they would be inclined to come if the U.S. established a temporary worker program.

General Vallely, Colonel Alexander, and Lt. Colonel Aquino (ret.) are but three leading figures within the Special Operations community, who have promoted the application of New Age and outright Satanic practices to the art of war, conducting experimental programs aimed at creating a Nietzschean "Übermensch warrior."
 
In preparation for this article, EIR has interviewed a number of senior retired military and intelligence officers, who have identified, from their own personal experiences, a number of other leading military officers who promoted these efforts and funnelled massive amounts of Pentagon money into "black programs," testing the military applications of a whole range of bizarre "non-lethal" techniques and technologies. Some of the top-secret programs funded by taxpayer dollars over the past 25 years betray a significant degree of outright "spoon-bending" lunacy. Others lead directly to the doorsteps of Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib military detention centers, where prisoners have been turned into human guinea pigs for experimental torture techniques, drawn from the same New Age bag of tricks.

At one point in his probe of the military's spoon-benders, author Jon Ronson asked Stuart Heller, the friend of Marilyn Ferguson and Jim Channon, if he could name one soldier who was "the living embodiment" of the First Earth Battalion.

He's like a walking embodiment of death. He can stop you at a distance. He can influence physical events just with his mind. If he catches your attention he can stop you without touching you."

Antoine Pinay was extremely influential in Europe and the United States, where he had forged links with President Nixon. Pinay attended the Bilderberg inaugural meeting in Oosterbeek, Holland during May 1954. By 1969, Pinay together with Jean Violet, a Lawyer working for the French Intelligence Service SDECE, and Archduke Otto von Habsburg, heir to the Austrian throne, formed Le Cercle, and secretly began recruiting men of influence as members.[iii] The intention was to shift the political climate of Europe to the far right via a secretly financed campaign of propaganda, and to establish a private intelligence service that would work, unofficially, with the existing security apparatus of the west. Author Stephen Dorril also believes there are serpentine inter-connections between Le Cercle and the Gladio network, a “stay-behind anti communist” [iv] military guerrilla force set up by Nato’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) during the “fifties”, that was largely composed of ex Nazi’s.

Pressed for a proper answer, they point to a flimsy cats-cradle of summit communiqués, Council resolutions and commission press releases.

Additional Cercle targets may have been Olaf Palme, Sweden’s Prime Minister. In 1987 the leading Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter carried a sensational story that the 03 section of the Swedish intelligence service, SAPO, were heavily involved in Palme’s assassination, following their fury at his policy of détente towards the Soviet Union, and possibly fearful that he may discover the extent of their implication in arms sales to Iran. Other “direct actions” possibly include a Coup d’etat in Belgium during 1973. “planned by gendarmerie officers and extreme right-wing groups.” By no means least were the allegations by France’s leading daily, Le Monde, which in 1978 revealed the activities of Circle member and head of the intelligence service SDECE, Alexandre de Marenches. Le Monde claimed that de Marenches led a domestic campaign of terrorism and disinformation.[xiv] It is fairly apparent that these activities were, “designedly”, to keep Francois Mitterand from office during the 1974 elections. However, with the exception of the Langemann papers, and an ISC memo published in Lobster 17, there are no other Cercle documents available to confirm these allegations.

Becoming a Freemason

People generally become Freemasons by recommendation of a sponsor, and Lodges vote on accepting new members once a new member is recommended. The Worshipful Master appoints three investigators who draft reports about the candidate. These three reports are done independently and are read out loud to the entire lodge prior to acceptance. The candidates picture is posted with their name, address and other personal information on a board and displayed in the lodge. After members are briefed on the person’s profile, the candidate is brought into the room while wearing a blindfold and questioned by the current members. Then the lodge votes on acceptance or denial.

On October 17, the new bankruptcy law will go into effect. That is the day that the banks will see their cash cow wander off into the field toward the butcher's.
 
The new law cuts those juicy 20-year loans to 10 years. Monthly payments will jump accordingly.
 
Also, the new law requires borrowers to repay these loans even after bankruptcy.
 
The banks asked Congress to intervene and make things less risky for the banks. Congress did as it was told, but there will be a cost: the doubling of the minimum-balance monthly payoff. That will hit borrowers like any unexpected bill does. They will have to adjust their monthly budgets.

Police officers from the team involved in the fatal shooting of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes did not believe he posed 'an immediate threat'.

Senior sources in the Metropolitan Police have told The Observer that members of the surveillance team who followed de Menezes into Stockwell underground station in London felt that he was not about to detonate a bomb, was not armed and was not acting suspiciously. It was only when they were joined by armed officers that his threat was deemed so great that he was shot seven times.

Sources said that the surveillance officers wanted to detain de Menezes, but were told to hand over the operation to the firearms team.

The two teams have fallen out over the circumstances surrounding the incident, raising fresh questions about how the operation was handled.

A police source said: 'There is no way those three guys would have been on the train carriage with him [de Menezes] if they believed he was carrying a bomb. Nothing he did gave the surveillance team the impression that he was carrying a device.

Back in 1975, the First National Family Violence Survey turned up results that surprised even the sociologists conducting the survey. Wives attack husbands about as often as husbands attack wives. And wives attack first about as often as husbands attack first, which is strong evidence that women's assaults on men can't be explained away simply as self-defense.[1] But battered women's advocates were intent on portraying domestic violence as something only men do and only women suffer from. So they'd conveniently leave out the part about women's assaults on men whenever they cited the study's results.[2]
http://www.newswithviews.com/guest_opinion/guest67.htm

The most controversial finding, as it would turn out, was that the rate of adult female-to-adult male intimate violence was the same as the rate of male-to-female violence. Not only that, but the rate of abusive female-to-male violence was the same as the rate of abusive male-to-female violence. When my colleague Murray Straus presented these findings in 1977 at a conference on the subject of battered women, he was nearly hooted and booed from the stage. When my colleague Suzanne Steinmetz published a scholarly article, ”The battered husband syndrome,” in 1978, the editor of the professional journal published, in the same issue, a critique of Suzanne’s article.
...
Second, contrary to the claim that women only hit in self-defense, we found that women were as likely to initiate the violence as were men. In order to correct for a possible bias in reporting, we reexamined our data looking only at the self-reports of women. The women reported similar rates of female-to-male violence compared to male-to-female, and women also reported they were as likely to initiate the violence as were men.

When we reported the results of the Second National Family Violence Survey the personal attacks continued and the professional critiques simply ignored methodological revisions to the measurement instrument. This round of personal attacks was much more insidious—in particular, it was alleged that Murray had abused his wife. This is a rather typical critique in the field of family violence—men whose research results are contrary to political correctness are labeled ”perps.”
...
Battered men face a tragic apathy. Their one option is to call the police and hope that a jurisdiction will abide by a mandatory or presumptive arrest statute. However, when the police do carry out an arrest when a male has been beaten, they tend to engage in the practice of ”dual arrest” and arrest both parties.

Battered men who flee their attackers find that the act of fleeing results in the men losing physical and even legal custody of their children. Those men who stay are thought to be ”wimps,” at best and ”perps” at worst, since if they stay, it is believed they are the true abusers in the home.

Thirty years ago battered women had no place to go and no place to turn for help and assistance. Today, there are places to go—more than 1,800 shelters, and many agencies to which to turn. For men, there still is not place to go and no one to whom to turn. On occasion a shelter for battered men is created, but it rarely lasts—first because it lacks on-going funding, and second because the shelter probably does not meet the needs of male victims. Men, who retain their children in order to try to protect them from abusive mothers, often find themselves arrested for ”child kidnapping.”

Having just gone through a controversy about a Supreme Court
decision about government's power of eminent domain, most Americans
may be surprised to learn that the Trading With the Enemy Act and
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act could expropriate
them instantly and far more broadly without any of the due process
extended to parties in eminent domain cases. All that is needed is a
presidential proclamation of an emergency of some kind -- and of
course Americans lately have been living in a state of perpetual
emergency.

Aside from enabling Kurdish thuggery, the American "liberators" are also in league with aspiring Shi'ite tyrants who want to impose sharia law on the nation.

Cole cites al-Hayat newspaper:

President George Bush, a man who has never soiled his hands with a hard day's work for a day's pay in his life, promotes illegal alien migration by saying, "They do work that Americans won't do." What he really means is--corporations welcome illegal aliens so they can work for slave wages which aids his corporate friends to help buy more Lear Jets and drive Rolls Royces along with a third home in Aspen, Colorado. What's he's really saying is that Americans can't earn a decent living at such wages, so it's okay to have millions of illegal aliens living 20 to a trailer and suffering inhumane conditions in ghettoes forming across the USA. They are called 'colonias' or 'new neighborhoods'. These are our new slave class.

Those who believe in the adage "when it rains, it pours" might take the tale of the plaintiffs in Kelo v. New London as a cue to buy two of every animal and a load of wood from Home Depot. The U.S. Supreme Court recently found that the city's original seizure of private property was constitutional under the principal of eminent domain, and now New London is claiming that the affected homeowners were living on city land for the duration of the lawsuit and owe back rent. It's a new definition of chutzpah: Confiscate land and charge back rent for the years the owners fought confiscation.

In some cases, their debt could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Moreover, the homeowners are being offered buyouts based on the market rate as it was in 2000 .

We lost the war in Viet Nam to a raggedy group of under-armed, but dedicated Communist insurgents. Our armed forces in Viet Nam were far better equipped and superior in training, yet we lost anyway. It was the first modern test of citizen guerilla forces waged against a standing army, and 58,000 lives later, we limped home. If you will recall, our own insurgents, loosely organized under a guy named George Washington, sent a another superior standing army from England limping home. Such is the legacy of an armed citizen insurgency, and our excellent adventure in Iraq is going exactly the same way

The illegal online trade in rare and exotic wildlife is now worth billions of pounds and sales are soaring, according to a new report by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).
 
In just one week, IFAW investigators found more than 9,000 live animals and products made from endangered species for sale on internet auction sites, chat rooms and classified pages, despite the fact that 70 per cent of the species and specimens were protected under law.
 
The scale of the trade is astonishing.

Just weeks after congressional investigators found that officials in charge of a new airline passenger-screening system violated a federal privacy law, the Department of Homeland Security is pushing Congress to reduce oversight of the program and to allow it to use commercial databases to screen for terrorists.
 
Changes proposed to next year's homeland security funding bill would allow the controversial Secure Flight program to use background checks and profiling to help determine if an airline passenger is a terrorist despite not being on a terror watch list.
 
Additionally, the proposed changes would permit Secure Flight to be rolled out to the nation's airports after Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff certifies the program will be effective and not overly invasive. The current bill requires independent congressional investigators to make that determination.

As accident investigators combed the crash site for clues, aviation experts were baffled at what appeared to have been a catastrophic failure of cabin pressure or oxygen supply in freezing temperatures at 35,000 feet -- nearly 10 km (6 miles) up, higher than Mount Everest.

One expert said reports of extreme cold suggested there was no air circulating in the cabin.

Charles Alfred Dreyling Jr., 24, was detained on Wednesday morning after a security screener using an X-ray machine saw the device in his luggage as he tried to board a flight to Philadelphia at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City.

"Although the investigation is in its initial stages we have found no apparent connection to any type of terrorist activity or group," FBI spokesman Gary Johnson said.

Johnson said the screener saw an "improvised explosive device" in Dreyling's carry-on luggage.

A woman answering the phone at Dreyling's home on Wednesday night declined to discuss the matter.

Johnson said Dreyling would be charged in federal court on Thursday with possession of an explosive device at an airport.

Maybe they can score a book or movie deal, too! How about: "My Feet Were Fondled by the Foot Fetish General"?

What we can't figure out is how that nasty man Hassan was able to tackle these gals and grab their feet and "rub" them if the women didn't consent? Maybe he did it while they weren't looking. At least he didn't suck on their toes. A source within the investigation tells us Hassan liked females who wore dark-colored hose. "Bare feet" apparently wasn't his style.

Education Minister Tu Cheng-sheng recently called for hairstyle
regulations imposed by public secondary and elementary schools to be permanently
abolished. Pubic school students will be free to sport their chosen hairstyles
starting in the new school year come September. Education authorities further
promised to liberalize long-standing student dress codes, describing them as a
"disgrace to democracy." Many schools in Taiwan maintain rigid
restrictions on student hairstyles even though the Ministry of Education (MOE)
discarded government restrictions years ago, Tu explained, adding that he feels
teachers and students are unnecessarily at odds over antiquated policies.

Arguing that the right of choosing one's own hairstyle is a freedom
protected by the Constitution, officials with the MOE expressed the view that
letting students decide their own hair and dress styles is good for nurturing
aesthetic taste among young people. "Schools should encourage students to
learn how to style their hair appropriately," said an MOE official.
According to government data, the nation's secondary and primary schools last
year issued a total of 140,000 reprimands ordering students to correct their
hairstyles or dress styles.

School superintendents and educational authorities from cities and
counties islandwide will be required to abide by the MOE new rules after
undergoing orientation at an MOE seminar to be held in August. The ministry will
try its best to win over, but not force, private schools to discontinue
restrictions on student hair and dress styles, according to the MOE. It is the
ministry's goal to create friendly and healthy school environments where
students can freely express themselves.

"Hairstyle codes were a sort of imprisonment that failed to embody
the spirit of democracy," said a local parents' association leader in the
northern county of Hsinchu. "Taiwan should long ago have abandoned control
of hairstyles, which is an objectionable practice from a time when students were
always pushed to prepare for entrance exams and ignore how their hair looks.
Without restrictions on hairstyle, students will have the opportunity to learn
self-management." On the other hand, some parents have expressed concern
that abolishing rules on personal appearance will render their children more
vulnerable to peer pressure and overly worried about their looks, to the
detriment of their studies

Here is what CNN reports about the white jet sighting in DC:

About 10 minutes ago, there was a white jet circling overhead. Now, you
generally don't see planes in the area over the White House. That is restricted
air space. No reason to believe that this jet was there for any nefarious
purposes, but the Secret Service was very concerned, pointing up at the jet in
the sky. It is out of sight now, best we can tell. They've evacuated the entire
White House staff and the old executive office, as well as some townhouses that
are government offices.

Days after Arnold Schwarzenegger jumped into the race for governor and girded
for questions about his past, a tabloid publisher wooing him for a business deal
promised to pay a woman $20,000 to sign a confidentiality agreement about an
alleged affair with the candidate.

American Media Inc., which publishes the National Enquirer, signed a friend of
the woman to a similar contract about the alleged relationship for $1,000.

A family vacation for Scott Turner, owner of Turner's Taekwondo Inc., came to a
quick end when he received a call from one of his instructors saying his
students, practicing gun self-defense, had just been handcuffed and held on the
ground at gunpoint by Albany police.

"I thought they were joking," Turner said Thursday. But he soon
realized there was truth to the story.

The students were detained briefly at the scene but then released with citations
for disorderly conduct.

The ban was apparently prompted by then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, who
wanted to prevent a repetition of split-screen TV pictures like those in 1989
that showed President H.W. Bush laughing and joking about the swift victory in
the U.S. attack on Panama at the same time that an Air Force transport plane was
unloading caskets at Dover.

Little noticed by the public, a just-released Pentagon report to Congress
carries a strong warning that China's rapidly expanding and improving submarine
fleet poses a mounting military threat to the United States
..As the Pentagon report on China observed, the U.S. has emphasized capability
over quantity in maintaining its submarine fleet. But numbers give the Chinese
certain advantages.

"Numbers matter," Murray said. "The Chinese obviously believe
that numbers matter because they're turning out submarines like sausages. The
Chinese are definitely on the winning end of an arms race."
