Vital Info On Iraqi Chemical Weapons Provided By U.S. Company That Made Them

BALTIMORE-The Pentagon has obtained vital information on Iraqi chemical weapons from Alcolac International, the Baltimore-based company that sold them to the Mideast nation in the '80s. "It's terrifying what Iraq has," Pentagon spokesman James Reese said Monday. "Saddam possesses massive stockpiles of everything from ethylene to thiodiglycol, according to sales records provided by Alcolac." The Pentagon has also been collecting key intelligence on Iraqi nuclear weapons and guidance systems from Honeywell, Unisys, and other former U.S. companies that supplied them to Iraq.

I see where the English - Al Jazeera site experiences a Hack Attack.



My husband went to the doctor yesterday and found out that he has diabetes. We're just learning about diabetes and I'm a little worried. I'm glad he went so we know for sure what's wrong and can regulate it. Now, if I can get him to stick to a reasonable diet and get back into his yoga. He's the one that got me interested in yoga. *He also got some pills to take daily for two weeks and then a checkup to see how/if they're working. But they said he'll be on some type of meds for the rest of his life. [*edited @ 9:44]



Good News Another missing girl's been found in Mexico after 4 years. She's from North Carolina. A few days ago, a 14 year old girl, who left her home with a much older man under strange circumstances, was also found safe in California. And, of course, Elizabeth Smart is home safely with her family now. Hopefully, this good news rally can continue.



More Weblog Stuff The Addicted Bloggers was a web ring I joined right when I first saw it. It was a ring for people who have battled alcoholism and/or drug addiction. As far as I know everyone on the list is in recovery, clean, and doing very well. Most of you know my story: (nutshell) I was a huge drug addict and finally quit all drugs in June 1991 and have been clean ever since then. I met some great people there that I talk to quite often.



Quote For Today

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. ~Buddha
