Have any of you read Tom Clancy's "Executive Orders" ?? (1) Japanese fanatic crashes a 747 into Capitol dome during joint session of Congress, wipe out most of government.
(2) the *regime* in Iran unleashes a genetically- enhanced strain of Ebola virus (more virulent, more easily transmitted between people) on the US - aerosol "foggers" at RV shows, conventions, etc. where people will be coming from a region, then going home to infect many people. Scary book. Probably required reading for Al Qaeda. -Ben > Quoting Douglas Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > I was just watching the meeting, and they were discussing the reasons > > why and why not go into Iraq and force a ragime change.
