i'm just now listening to a radio program about a saudi rehabilitation centre for jihads. failed suicide bombers get to play ping pong, do art therapy and receive guidance from islam priests who do not support the jihad movement or terrorism. so these ex-terrorists get $33,000 grants to get rehabilitated. apparently the program is really effective. more than 90% of the jihads who go through it choose to quit the jihad thing and haven't re-offended. an islam priest who has managed to dissuade jihads from committing acts of terrorism is saying that education is the only thing that really works to stop terrorism, not guns and war.

well that's good news isn't it.

as far as the problem of a potential terrorist attack against "american interests" in the immediate near future, what about visiting a very good clairvoyant to find out where and when it could happen so you can make sure you're not there at the time. I know this might sound like a wacky idea, but good clairvoyants really can help to solve and prevent crimes.

a number of years ago a baby was kidnapped at gunpoint in a city that I was living in and it so happened that i had recently read some books written by very good clairvoyants. x amount of days had gone by and there was still no sign of the baby. the mother had made an appearance on the tv to give the kidnapper instructions on what to feed her baby. she was amazingly calm and managed to smile (i suppose that would have been in case her baby was actually watching the tv). I wrote to the family (via the police station that was dealing with the case) suggesting that they ask a clairvoyant for information about the where-abouts of the baby and gave them names and contact details for the ones I had recently read about. i don't know whether they did that, but shortly after that, the police found the baby in a house in an obscure rural location several hundred miles away, arrested the kidnapper and the family sent me a nice card afterwards.

I'll try to get you the name and contact details for a good clairvoyant tommorrow.

interesting that you bought into the "war on terror" ** yet somehow you manage to ignore mccain's early warnings against the ominous collapse of freddy and fannie back in 2005 when the democrats (barney frank and chris dodd) refuted it.

selective kool-aid drinking?

and since we're on the topic of this apparent "new threat", why is that the u.s. government spent close to $40 million investigating bubba clinton's white house transgressions yet only spent a measly $600k investigating the events surrounding 9/11?

and where's the evidence linking Osama bin laden to 9/11?

any why have the fbi not formally charged osama with the crimes against 9/11?

the questions are endless. the answers are stonewalled.

the blame-game, the political-spinning and the nonsense persists!

**a fear-mongering propaganda term devised by the cheney-rovian machine to deliberately rob you of your civil liberties

is there anything else you can do to find out more where they plan to carry out the attack and upon what or whom? (i mean aside from joining the cia and becoming a professional spy which i can't quite picture you doing).

is there room for applying pressure or making communications to someone somewhere in government that might make it all the more likely they'll be able to prevent it or forewarn people in the location they plan to attack?

say for example, they can find out about it if al-qaeda plan to attack Manhatten again, perhaps the government could be persuaded to evacuate Manhatten up untill elections... or at least people in (whichever location it is) could choose to evacuate themselves.

sounds like a good time to get very much into praying !!!!
