Behalf Of David Land Yes Maybe it's just me, but this answer strikes me as somehow missing the point, or trying to be a smart-alek. I'd expect that from Alberto. Actually, a name was all I was really hoping for. I wasn't specifically asking for links because I figured it was bad manners to ask someone else to do a google search for me. I was hoping for some links but wasn't going to demand it. And I appreciate it. I haven't had a chance to do any google searching yet but I will. - jmh ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Same reason why I postponed any reply to the Roman debate, and that I am not answering the revelant question now :-) But since it took you _weeks_ to reply, I guess you can wait one or two days :-P Alberto Monteiro ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

RE: Scouted: Military Drafted Plans to Terrorize U.S. Cities
Behalf Of Alberto Monteiro Some members of br military during the brazilian dictatorship of 1964-(1980 or 1985 or 1989) had some similar plans - maybe the source was the same. They would explode a huge gas reservoir in Rio downtown, blame the commies, and start a pogrom to kill them all. The plan was aborted by the heroic acts of one man. This sounds very very interesting and I've been wanting to respond ever since you originally posted it. Do you have more information about this? Who was the one man? - jmh ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
