We always get our men
Go Canada! Looks like they busted what probably would have been a September 11 Redux, this time with a nuke plant in Ottawa being one of the targets.
No hyperbole here -- if this report's facts are true, this is enormous.

I. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me
Given a choice, I'd take the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights over the 10 Commandments, but evidently not Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore.
This incident brings to mind something I read about Dick Gephardt and his career choice as a young man. For Gephardt, his choice was either to go into public service or the clergy (and incidentally, I've often thought he made the wrong decision). Anyone want to hazard a guess that Chief Justice Moore might have also had that same inclination? And does anyone doubt that choosing the clergy might have been the better, more effective path for him to achieve his goals in life -- assuming his goals aren't to turn the US (or at least Alabama) into a theocracy?

Set them free
An Islamic cleric blows himself up on a bus, killing at least twenty. Hamas and Islamic Jihad claim credit. Israel takes out one of the founders of Hamas and his two bodyguards. And now the cease-fire is dead?
Almost immediately after the Hamas leader and two of his bodyguards were killed on Thursday, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades -- the militant offshoot of Arafat's Fatah movement -- said they would no longer abide by their self-declared cease-fire.So obviously you're with me here in thinking this is nuts. What I want to know is this: Is this demonstration of Hamas's ridiculously insane attitude enough to convince the right people that the "peace process" is a load of crap, and that Israel must be allowed to eliminate these terrorists with every bit of force that the US has done with al Qaeda?The Israeli strike on Abu Shanab came two days after a bus bombing that killed 20 people in Jerusalem. Both the military wing of Hamas and Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for that terror attack.
