On a (slightly) positive note, Suicide bomber was held down and prevented from boarding bus:

This was the first new bomber in 3 weeks.

On a not-so-positive note, Ashcroft has indicted the head of a charity group based here in Chicago for funding Al-Queda. It really rankles (and scares) me how smart the terrorists are. Anyone see 20/20 last night? Frightful. Mohammad Atta was recruited in Hamburg by the group subsequent to the failed WTC bombing in 1993. He was recruited after he had got a degree in city planning and failed to obtain gainful employment in his home - Cairo.

It's sad what lack of jobs and economic means does to a society - especially with the first-world folks as a mirror-image to create envy. Seriously, how many fewer suicide bombers there would be if these guys were busy trying to work at a job. Idle minds and hands - the devil's plaything.
This is not the first such problem with the funding of terrorist groups by charities in the U.S. In 1997, after a decade of appeals, members of the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - terrorist support-groups were more brazen with their names before 9/11) appealed (and lost) their deportation ruling with the Supreme Court. Deport -whoah, big deal. Anyway, the text of the indictment is:

I'd like to add my two cents here.
Think of terrorism in this way ........ as long as there is poverty in the third world countries people will have nothing to lose, and this makes it a lot easier to incite them in the name of "religion", while it is actually terrorism.
