Associated Press September 5, 2006 WASHINGTON - President Bush used terrorists' own words Tuesday to battle complacency among Americans about the threat of future attack, defending his record as the fall campaign season kicks into high gear.
Bush said that despite the absence of a successor on U.S. soil to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the terrorist danger remains potent. "Bin laden and his terrorist's allies have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler before them," the president said before the Military Officers Association of America and diplomatic representatives other countries that have suffered terrorist attacks. "The question is 'Will we listen? Will we pay attention to what these evil men say?'" |

CBC News The United States is safer, but "not yet safe," since launching its war on terror shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the Bush administration said in a report released Tuesday.
The report was released by the White House in advance of a second speech Tuesday by U.S. President George W. Bush, who said history will not be kind on this time period if the U.S. abandons its global war on terror and retreats from Iraq. |

USA TODAY CHICAGO - Truck driver Bill Adams scans the traffic on Harlem Avenue. "That Pepsi truck's no risk. Two empty flatbeds up there are no risk," he says. "Garbage truck is probably not a risk, but it might be if it were there at the wrong time - if it's 5 on a Sunday afternoon. You've got to think."
Adams, who drives for UPS Freight, isn't scouting Chicago's west side only for traffic hazards. He's on the lookout for terrorists. Adams is part of a rapidly growing army of truckers and bus drivers who have been trained by Highway Watch to spot suspicious activity on the highways. The program is run by the American Trucking Association with funds from the Department of Homeland Security. Drivers take a class or watch a one-hour DVD to qualify. Almost 400,000 people - mostly commercial truck drivers - have been trained since 2004. Membership is likely to top 1 million by March 2007. This summer, Georgia began requiring all 300,000 of its drivers with commercial licenses to be trained. No terrorists have been nabbed, but tips helped find a missing truck carrying fertilizer, which can be used in bombs, and identified illegal immigrants at a truck-driving school. Comment: What a perfect situation for one of these erstwhile "spy truckers" to be used to literally carry a bomb into a building. The truckers claim that they "use their common sense", but the very fact that they are engaging in what is obviously government propaganda and manipulation strongly suggests that they are severely lacking in the common sense department.

Associated Press September 5, 2006 NEWRY, Maine - Four people were slaughtered during a four-day killing spree in southern Maine's mountain ski country, and a 31-year-old cook who had been living at an inn where three victims died was charged Tuesday with murder.
Detectives say Christian Nielsen told them he first killed a local man on Friday, then two days later attacked the owner of the Black Bear Bed & Breakfast where he had been renting a room, according affidavits filed Tuesday as Nielsen made his initial court appearance. The owner's 30-year-old daughter and a friend were killed when they arrived at the inn unexpectedly on Monday, the state police affidavits said.

5 September 06 LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrities have more narcissistic personality traits than the general population, and people with narcissistic tendencies seem to be attracted to the entertainment industry rather than the industry creating narcissists, according to a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers Drew Pinsky of the Keck School of Medicine of USC and S. Mark Young of the USC Marshall School of Business and the USC Annenberg School for Communication.
The study, which will be published in the Journal of Research in Personality (Elsevier), is the first systematic, empirical scholarly study of celebrity personality and was based on a standardized test of narcissistic personality traits administered to 200 celebrities. |
