"Rep. Ron Paul (R., Texas) has introduced H.R.2896, a bill that, if passed, would arm airline pilots. Although current federal regulations allow pilots to be armed if both the airline and the FAA consent (14 Code of Federal Regulations section 108.11), bureaucratic inertia appears to have prevented the widespread arming of pilots.
That policy must change, because it is the only reform — unlike the panoply of freedom-restricting measures currently being promoted by the Department of Transportation — that actually would have foiled the September 11 acts of war." --Dave Kopel |

A Sacramento elementary school teacher is under fire for allegedly burning an American flag in front of his students.
About 30 6th graders at Sacramento's North Avenue Elementary apparently watched as their teacher burned part of the flag. Students say he asked them to keep quiet, but one student later told the school principal.
The teacher is now on paid administrative leave. A school board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday night so parents can discuss their concerns. |

"Pacifists of the 20th century had a lot of blood on their hands for weakening the Western democracies in the face of rising belligerence and military might ... Then as now, pacifism was a "statement" about one's ideals that paid little attention to actual consequences. At a Labor Party rally where Britain was being urged to disarm "as an example to others," economist Roy Harrod asked one of the pacifists: "You think our example will cause Hitler and Mussolini to disarm?" --Thomas Sowell |

"Having borne arms against the Russians in Afghanistan," Bin Ladin has declared, "we think our battle with the Americans will be easy by comparison. We are now more determined to carry on until we see the face of God. "Bin Ladin, now about 43 years old, is one of some 65 children of a Saudi construction magnate. When family patriarch Mohammad Bin Ladin died in the late 1960s, his children inherited a financial empire that today is worth an estimated $10 billion. |

An award-winning officer on the city's police DUI squad and a supervisor were reprimanded after the officer stopped a lieutenant because she suspected him of driving drunk, said she smelled alcohol on his breath and didn't take any action, according to documents obtained recently.
Investigators, hoping that the video camera in Perry's car would clarify the discrepancies, sought the camera's tape to no avail. "The videotape that should have been in Officer Perry's vehicle at the time of the stop cannot be found." |

"The deal is, I was answering their question. The kids said, 'Oh. OK.' And went back to drawing," Bowes said. "It was no big deal. The parents are the ones who made it a big, big deal."
"This is a dreadful thing," she said. "They shouldn't have to pay for this. All they were trying to do is express themselves, and all I was trying to do is let them." |

'Yahweh' directed followers to commit 14 murders, two attempted murders and the firebombing of a Delray Beach neighborhood. Several of the victims were decapitated with a machete and others had their ears cut off as proof of the slayings.
Although "the Parole Commission opposed his release after less than 11 years" because of the nature of his crime, Yahweh was eligible for parole for his "good behavior while in custody". |

4TH LETTER DOWN PAGE
"We are not fighting Islam; we are fighting those who use Islam — or any other religion or cause, for that matter — as a crutch for a worldview that calls for the destruction of those of us who espouse individual liberty and freedom.
Jesus did not command his followers to turn someone else’s cheek. We must defend people of freedom, with violence if necessary. We must be prepared, every one of us, for the trials ahead. We must win this war." --JON L. GARDNER |

The FBI is looking into whether suspected terrorist pilot Mohamed Atta sought a government business loan in South Florida to buy a crop-duster, according to a bank official in Homestead.
Atta, 33, and a group of men visited a crop-dusting business in Belle Glade, asking how much chemical the plane could carry and how far it could fly.
KABA NOTE: We have to wonder what businesses are going to be included in the terrorist scare checks, and if this person was possibly connected. |

"Unbelievably, to this day our foreign aid continues to flow into Afghanistan, even as we prepare to go to war against her. My suggestion is, not only should we stop this aid immediately, but we should never have started it in the first place."
"Dominating the Persian Gulf is not a benign activity. It has consequences. The attack on the USS Cole was a warning we ignored."
...and lots more. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
