Suspicious packages turning up...

I'm sure you heard about the suspicious packages turning up on freight carriers by now.

Curious timing no ?

Never mentioned Obama or conspiricy nor do I even imply that.

But I have no doubt that the timing has something to do with the election cycle.

Someone'll do it Steamwake, probably the Right version of the Left Loonies who said that 9/11 was an internal job.

Still, elections are a usual time to try things like these, lots of people about voting, set off something at a polling station, etc. Works particularly well in places like Afghanistan and Iraq with car bombs. I'm surprised that America hasn't seen more of them, they've been a favourite terrorist weapon for years, be they Afghani or Irish terrorists.

I'll be interested to see just what was in these packages, no explosive material it would seem but a white powder...anthrax? Or Coke?

Heh on the funny side we recieved a package from UPS today.

My wife insisted I take it out to the shed before I open it

URGENT: Obama confirms a 'credible terrorist threat,' capping a tense daylong drama, in which federal authorities ground UPS planes at two airports and escort a passenger jet to N.Y. based on fears of a mail-bomb plot by Al Qaeda targeting Jewish places of worship.

Make sure you check on where it came from before you do that.

You never know, she could be hoping to get herself a new... shed.

If that's the case, I bet it won't be the last time she sends him out to the shed to take care of some business.
