Re: Dirty Bomb

[maury <maury@WEBTEXAS.COM>]

Hi Danny, my reaction which might be shared by others is acceptance of your

assessment. For better or worse, that is how terrorism works. Govt sez 'don't

let the terrorists win -- continue your normal living' while govt turns the

world upside down and jumps through its own  ......! All the while using the

terrorism to justify all the foolishness. Not a very pretty sight.

Thanks for the observations by you and Jim H.

Cheers,

Maury Siskel       maury@webtexas.com
