Dale: The most disturbing terrorism news of the year, and it's still ongoing. The Radioactive Freighter.
A freighter from Hamburg (the city where the Al Qaeda cell that planned 9/11 was based) has been stopped before it entered NYC, boarded, and moved 12 miles outside of the city harbor.
Who boarded it? Just some Navy Seals and a NEST team. Read on, and wonder about the news blackout.
Here are the links:
MSNBC.
Rod Dreher at NRO's Corner.
Asparagirl, with an assortment of valuable links, and difficult questions.
Rod Dreher again. Methinks Rod's sounded the "all clear" much too early, though. Especially given the fact they've moved the ship further out now, and the fact we really don't have a clue as to what the initial radiation readings were. That, and the irrefutable proverb of our times: the first casualty of war is the truth.
If you needed any further evidence that we're living in a radically changed world, here it is.
