The Evidence: Chronology of Attacks on the West

Interesting that four jets were hijacked over the Atlantic on 9/6/70. A fifth attempt foiled by El Al.

Ominous trend line.

Thank you for posting that.

I cannot tell you how glad I am that George W. Bush is President of the United States.

Thanks. With a rap sheet like that, who knows what will happen next. I book marked it for future reference.

It sounds like our policy could take some cues from the following:

My son told me today about his experience at the Oregon State Prison, where he had to go to install some car aligner equipment and train the better class of inmates on how to use it.

Never mind the screening he had to go through, which was thorough. As he walked by the yard where a lot of inmates were milling around, the prison official said "Some times we have fights."

"What happens when you have fights?" my son says.

"See that dumpster over there? It's filled with sand. When a fight starts a guard fires one round into it. The fight stops," the prison official says.

"What happens if they don't stop?" my son asks.

"They get shot."

"When is the last time somebody got shot?" he asks again.

"Never, as far as I know."
