- The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday confirmed terrorists have discussed using stuffed animals, pillows and clothing to smuggle explosives aboard commercial airliners. The explosive -- nitrocellulose -- is a propellant for ammunition and some rockets and is extremely flammable when packed in a sturdy container. The department issued a warning about the possible use of nitrocellulose on August 8 to airport managers, state and local law enforcement and border agents after receiving 'actionable intelligence' that al Qaeda or other terrorist groups were trying to exploit this explosive method. |

- Federal authorities are warning that terrorists may be poised for attacks in the United States, according to a bulletin released Friday and obtained by Fox News.

- The Supreme Court is now hearing arguments on whether or not the big telecom companies can be sued for antitrust violations for providing bad service in places where they were required to open up their lines to competitors. The argument is that, in this case, Verizon provided AT&T with bad service on purpose, and an AT&T customer is suing Verizon, saying it's their fault. It seems like a weak argument, as you would think that he would have to show that Verizon purposely provided AT&T with bad service. |

- I went out for a drink this evening and had two, which given my (in)ability to function under the influence of alcohol is the equivalent of more like four or five. So this posting may be erratic and won't have any links. But it's been a slow day here, so every bit helps. I picked up a nice political anecdote while imbibing. It seems that not long ago, Blair's media enforcer Alastair Campbell wanted the... |
