News and Events Roundup - February 3rd

From the Washington Post, a video interview with Craig Fugate:


From the Associated Press, on a big haul for CBP:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers have seized nearly a ton of marijuana hidden in a banana shipment at a cargo facility near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Officials say a drug-sniffing dog alerted officers to the stash Monday when the Mexican truck driver applied to cross into the U.S. at the Otay Mesa cargo facility.
Officers say they opened the boxes in the truck and found 235 packages of pot worth an estimated $1.1 million.

    LIBBY CASEY of C-SPAN hosted a loaded segment, Sunday, January 31, 2010, finishing up with former CIA geek ROLF MOWATT-LARSON, which may not follow any other distortion, or your Alaskan native FRONTS, FOR INTERNATIONAL INCITEMENT TO RIOT AND MAYHEM.

    Don't put CIA geeks on TV, when you failed to report any misconduct.

    Don't put Heritage, Brookings, Halliburton, or DICK CHENY-related persons, on TV, since these are distorted, and you may NOT offer Alaska, to follow the AEF, where you let Levi the clown bait Medvedev, with bad porn.

    The Russians are a moment from suing Alaska OUT OF THE UNION, and you bait me and them, with your punk media, yellow underlined blurbs, to beg the PRC to enter White Fleet informations in any USDC, any second now, so YOU CAN SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR LOUSY TREATMENT, UNTIL YOU ADMIT YOUR NEWS CONTENT AND YOUR SITTING BULL-CAMPAIGNS ARE LOUSY MEDIA.

    You suppressed to much, and now, you are at the eve of volcanic events, which will affect the US Mainland, so tragically, you are to be condemned for having the Washington Monument right outside your studio, but you let Hannibal-baiters on, SHOW AFTER SHOW, PROGRAM AFTER TAINTED PROGRAM.

    Get it on, since NOVA already showed how the CIA and NSA suppressed FBI warnings, of 911 terrorist plot and subject proximity, IN THE USA, but bills of attainder all the way to same-sex marriage controversy allowed the NSA and CIA to in collusion with YOU AND ROBERT MUELLER suppress all notice of fraud, waste, and abuse, including to add deregulated energy deals, and suppress how these doomed our funds, SEVEN YEARS, after 9/11/01.

    Why do you think Al Qaida targeted Building 7?

    I'm writing on an unrelated subject to TSA, on TWIC card's. I work in a transportation field myself. I work on a towboat I found myself doing a crew change on an unfamiliar river that does'nt require TWIC cards as of yet and we where to be taken to our much larger boat on a smaller boat called a tug boat belonging to another company that requires the card. To board their vessels to change crews, inspired me to aquire my card. I found myself feeling inferior for a lack of a better word to the crew of that company and unprepared which i'm not accustomed, so a word to the wise, BE PREPARED AND PROTECTED for yourself and this GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS!!!!!!!

    Regardless how technological advanced we are, there bound to be more problems that need to be solved. There is no pure advantage or disadvantage to whatever decision that's made. Only what's best.

    Just hope that whatever decision made is for the good of every Americans.
