ever disclosed her identity. Now, you have Pres. Bush taking back his words. Not only was Mr. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, "the leak" but also Karl Rove was part of the leaking of her name. But you look at the disappointing fashion Pres. Bush has enacted "no apology" given to the Wilson family and this president needs to be impeached. The Bush Administration is trying to hide their hands behind the facts which were giving in the case and what the sentence of Mr. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby was convicted under was he outed a CIA Agent that was convert. I don't understand why everyone is trying to dispute the facts that Valerie Wilson was uncover when her identity was breached. I don't know why people are still disputing that and it's all the Bush Administration trying to throw rocks and hide their hands.

Please give an thoughtful, educated response. And don't try and say that there was never a Palestine because there was. Also, please give facts not assumptions or stereotypes.

The following is freaky, and bear in mind, it is all 100% true.

1) New York City has 11 letters.

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb.(The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11.

4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6 + 5=11.

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1 + 1 =11.

6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

I heard on the news that the U.K. has lowered its "Terror Level" to "Severe," down from "Critical." after the foiled car bomb incident.

So, I've been trying to find out what the terror level was at BEFORE the incident. I'm guessing it was at its lowest. It just seems to me that these so called "Terror Levels" are a ridiculous waste of energy. What exactly are you supposed to do with that information? Why do they only seem to be elevated AFTER an attack or attempted attack? Doesn't it just seem to be another way for the government to keep you scared and therefore more willing to go along?

Remember in the 80’s when Gore and wife went on the warpath regarding rock music lyrics? Looks like the flip floper has struck again. Many of the same bands that he went on a tirade against, he is now in bed with to promote his “save the world gig” My Question? Who in their right mind could take this man seriously about anything? And why, are you on the same meds His son is? and for you nut case tree huggers, how are these people getting where they are going to, to play their songs, do you think they are ridding a donkey, or walking? No its called jets, and cars, and helicopters, and you know what they use, that evil stuff called fuel, oh, the humanity of it all, what then shall we do?

It didnt suprise me at all. Look at the history of these terrorist attacks. These are not being carried out by stupid people from some tiny village or living in a cave somewhere. The 911 hijackers for instance-all were college educated people from middle to upper class families.
I can already give you a description of the next terrorist attackers/bombers in the UK or America- their background and who they will be. They will be Islamic/muslims - college graduates, "professional" type people if you will. They could pass for businessmen or doctors or whatever. Really so normal and well educated that they wouldnt draw much attention. They will NOT be some uneducated poor bum living in a shack over in Iraq or somewhere.

When PBS (and its cousin NPR) were formed, there was a legitimate need for its service. Anyone old enough to remember the days of 3 networks can appreciate the importance of PBS in supporting educational broadcasting.

With the development of cable and networks like Discovery, National Geographic Channel, the History Channel, and Nickelodeon, the mission of PBS is met by the commercial marketplace. PBS and NPR have outlived their purpose. They are now political vehicles for the Democratic Party, with agenda driven broadcasts like NOW and Frontline, and pretty much the entire lineup of NPR.

It's time for the socialist broadcasting of PBS to compete in the marketplace with the rest of the broadcasting universe. They could of course remain a non-profit entity, but their encampment in the American university system, and their government subsidy, must be ended.

Your thoughts?

In my wildest dream, I would never have believed that a person with a Doctor degree would want to commit mass murder. The recent bombing attempts in Great Britain planned by people with Doctor Degree’s worries me greatly. How many "Sleeper Terrorist" Doctors, University Professors, High School Teachers, Lawyers, Politicians do we have in the USA, just biding their time; waiting on word from their leader to strike?

President Bush spared former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby from a 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak investigation Monday, delivering a political thunderbolt in the highly charged criminal case. Bush said the sentence was just too harsh.

What kind of message does this send to the people? Has our basic government structure deteriorated to low that basically anything goes?

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."
