RE: OT Terrorist Acts

Here in Halifax we learned that some of the terrorists appear to have crossed into the U.S. through Maine, coming from Canada.

Bush and our Prime Minister apparently had "a talk" about this already... The Free Trade open border concept is not a likely scenario anymore, I think.

I agree, it's hard to know what is happening, Jane's for example has very little information. One would expect them to be better informed... probably they can't or won't post what they know.

They found flight training manuals in arabic in a couple of places, one in a flight bag that didn't make it to one of the planes that crashed. so they already have names to track down.

Two brothers who went through or are from the United Arab Emirates, apparently, are among the suspects.

My colleague here says that officials have surrounded a hotel in Boston. Someone missed their flight, perhaps? Who knows what is going on.
