This is scary, Americans traveling to Pakistan warned to take strict precautions as they are now KIDNAP TARGETS: Americans Advised on Pakistan Wed Jan 30, 7:16 PM ET WASHINGTON - The State Department warned U.S. citizens Wednesday to consider carefully plans to travel to Pakistan. Unconfirmed reports that Americans have been targeted for kidnapping or other terrorist actions were cited by the department in a statement to the media and to U.S. diplomats. The warning cited the disappearance of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. An unsigned e-mail purportedly sent by his kidnappers threatened to kill Pearl within 24 hours and warned American journalists to leave Pakistan within three days or "be targeted." The unsigned e-mail claimed that Pearl, who disappeared in Karachi on Jan. 23, was an agent of the Israeli intelligence service, the Mossad. On Monday, all U.S. Embassy and consulate workers and their families were authorized to return to their posts. But the warning issued Wednesday said "ongoing events in the region require that all Americans in or traveling through Pakistan closely consider the implications for their security and safety." There is support for the Taliban militia and the al-Qaida network among the Pakistani people, the statement said. Americans who live in Pakistan or visit the country "should exercise maximum caution and take prudent measures," the department said.

"Jeb is campaigning and planning to cut back on drug rehab" I'm not surprised. A comment about that prescription. Not anyone can call a pharmacy and say fill this prescription. Here, a doctor must have some sort of ID number. I would think it would have to be case all over the country. Otherwise, anyone could call in and say, I am Dr. so and so, please fill this prescription. According to the report I read the pharmacist was suspicious when a quantity wasn't prescribed.

Jeb Bush reminds me of Bill Bennett who used to rail against addicts while smoking two packs a day. TP
