This was a good well thought out post. Let me answer what I think to some of it. The problem with picking out one report is how much of that stuff really can be digested and acted upon. I have read that each intellegence report has a probablity of occurence or truth. I would be curious how high or low that was. Also so much of this info was left over from the last Admin, how seriously is this group supposed to take it, when the previous group obviously did nothing about it. Bascially I would say the same things as above, except even more skeptically, because Israel would have much more of a possible ulterior motive here. IMO improvements in airline plane safety should have been contingent upon the airlines accepting the post 9-11 security guarentees. With the extra costs of gasoline I don't know how much of this would have been possible without bankrupting more airlines and putting them out of business, but more precautions should have been taken to date. But there is a balance that has to be struck otherwise the extra costs cripple the nations travel infrastucture and unemploy many many more people. I don't like Ashcroft at all. Most of the Patriot Act is garbage. But the question becomes, how many lives are worth freedom? Would you be willing to let you or your family die, because info that could have stopped a terrorist act, isn't accessible to the government. Because of my view of the constitution, I believe that our freedom is more important. Who was the last President who didn't depend on committees of people for policy advice? Would you rather see just the President pouring through all that info all by himself and trying to form a cohesive policy? As for fossil fuels, that is a whole nother arguement. As long as the auto lobby is as strong as it is, we will never get anywhere. That doesn't matter who the President is.

OK here is the deal. I split out all of the BS off topic stuff, and put it on the OT board, where I am going to lock it. This is a good and relevant topic, so I am openning this part back up for everyone else.

This is pointless and over.

Too bad there isn't a smilie of a guy gouging his eyes out... :puke :puke :puke :puke :puke :puke :headshake

http://www.baseballreference.com/b/benarma01.shtml These are his career numbers. He had been a Giant his whole career up until now.

And so it has begun. It will be interesting to see who the Bears go after.

A guy who is in camp with us trying to catch on as our 4th or 5th OFer.

I hope this team cares that their biggest rival doesn't take them seriously. Any extra motivation they can get helps.

I hope so too. The Bulls have really taken the classy high road by the way they have handled this situation. They could have just cut the kid and not given him a dime. Both sides deserve JWill to return to his potential as a reward for the way they handled themselves after this happened.

Go get em Heads!!!

Sully told this story right after he was traded. It is sad that it has taken this long to hit the mainstream Chicago media.

I was afraid you were going to say Joan Cusak :puke

To the REAL Sultan pimp of Soxtalk! Not to mention the best dressed...

This is the same guy who got all pissed off when people were talking about Kansas losing right? Just checking.

And let me ask you a question, how would a different president have done any better?

OH HELL NO. Hindlick with the dunk on Ilguaskus

Don't forget the draft it tommorrow!!!!

He just go used by Dupree. he pumped fake LeBron went baseline, dunked the ball, and got a backboard slap out of it. Bron has 4 pts, very quiet otherwise. Boozer is just killing the Bulls so far.

End of the first quarter Cleveland leads 23-21. Eddy had 8 pts and 4 boards in a solid first quarter.

Welcome in dude!

And zero sense of humor

Hindlick heads to the bench with 2 early fouls with about 5 min to go in the first. That hurts.
