After a good night's sleep two thoughts came to me regarding the Missionaries to the Preborn stop in Greensboro:

1) The public still wrestling with the photo's coming out of Abu Ghraib probably was a boost to the missionaries effort to show off their images from inside abortion clinics. We had been softened up by the time they got to Greensboro on their tour.

2) How many of those missionaries for the preborn would recoil at the comment, "better to kill them over there than over here?"

(Looking further at their website, their leader's non-politically correct homily on Paul Hill probably is what will keep the groups actions from getting far in the mainstream press.)

When truth is stranger than fiction...

Just before my drive home yesterday became an unsettling experience, I had heard the NPR clip of John Ashcroft explain that yes, the beheaded Nick Berg had indeed been questioned by the FBI in 2002 when his e-mail password was found in the possession of the infamous 19th 9/11 hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui. I immediately thought two things:

1) What are the chances...?

2) If only a password was found, how did the FBI know it belonged to Berg?

There has got to be more to this story. Others are equally curious. (Note: If you go to that link, let me mentioned the guy running that site has been accused of being anti-Semitic for suggesting that the government of Israel is knee deep in this whole 911 / Iraq mess...for example questioning just which country the foreign national "contractor" involved in the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal hails from. Here's balanced reportage from Honest Reporting on that particular line of reasoning.)
