1. Fear.

It's what's for breakfasst, lunch, dinner and that midnight snack you have been trying to quit.

4. It's from Debka! LOL!

The Reuters article says the "radiological threat" is from the website Debka. Debka has been an Israeli LAP project for at least a decade. It's often dead wrong because it is propaganda, though it is vaguely correct once in a while because it gets feeder from Metsada.

I'm shaking in my boots!

5. Although they did give us our first sources on the Iraq invasion.

Debka and a Russian news service, IIRC, were the first warnings we had about what Bush was doing while the American press talked about how he was trying peaceful means first.

I'm not buying this, but I don't count them out by any means.

6. I don't agree

Plenty of websites and other media were publicizing Bush's actions in the run-up to the War.

If Debka were correct, we would be dead many times over.

Debka may get it right once in a while but, as the cliche goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

7. Last night the entire city was crawling with police cars in every corner

It was an eerie sight. Every street corner south of Canal seem to have a patrol car with lights blasting, checking every car that came in. Very strange an scary.
