PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) -
CBS SEPTA officials have alerted police to men taking pictures on the Broad Street subway line in South Philadelphia.

On Wednesday, a SEPTA cashier told officers about a man taking pictures at the Lombard-South station, but the man, after being questioned by the cashier about his activities, left before officers arrived.

"We are attempting to identify that male to determine what the nature or the reason for taking the photographs was," Chief Inspector Joseph Sullivan said.

the war on terror, let's just hope and pray they are still fighting it. I don't really care what the other politicos think....it was and still is an appropriate tag. If we aren't fighting a war against the terrorists then what would it be called.

Politics ...barf

Here is one of a different sort that should be alarming to some.:

This is not new news by any stretch, but it is gaining in importance as the current administration allows and promotes out of control spending.

With all the disturbing news I guess we can all take comfort in the fact that Obama and his congressional stooges are spending all their waking time on health care reform. Per an earlier post of mine....the man simply does not have his priorities right and he does not care who thinks or knows it. He is a professional campaigner..he has no idea how to preside over the state of affairs our beloved country is in. Our adversaries no doubt are seizing upon the opportunities being afforded them. With the economy in the state it is in, the terrorists know time is on their side to kick us while we are down.

With as much terrorist activity as has been discovered, we should all know there is that and more still in the works....GOD help us through the plight.
