Re: <nettime> TIPs designed for Domestic Spygaming |
"The terrorist threat to America takes many forms, has many places to hide, and is often invisible," Bush warned. ------------- Operation TIPS - the Terrorism Information and Prevention System - will be a nationwide program giving millions of American truckers, letter carriers, train conductors, ship captains, utility employees, and others a formal way to report suspicious terrorist activity. Operation TIPS, a project of the U.S. Department of Justice, will begin as a pilot program in 10 cities that will be selected. ------------- Al-qaeda has a large complicated financial network. Its goals are to destroy the American way of life. ------------- Last week, the S&P 500 and the Dow suffered their largest weekly drops since the market reopened following the September attacks. -------------- Mr. Ebbers responded, as he did to some 30 other questions: "On the instructions of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer on the basis of my Fifth Amendment constitutional rights." Mr. Ebbers also declined to say whether he was a former WorldCom executive or a United States citizen. -------------- A federal appeals court ruled today that an American accused of fighting for the Taliban could be held, at least for now, without access to a lawyer and without being charged. -------------- It appears as if Mr. Ebbers, after declining to say whether he is a U.S. citizen, and in light of his role at WorldCom which has brought about great disruption to the U.S. markets, is a high ranking Al-qaeda operative. He must immediately be held incommunicado without access to a lawyer and without being charged. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
