#1 But that's not possible.

The Philippine government appeased the terrorists, so the terrorists should leave them alone, right?

Right???

#2 This was in February, pre-appeasement. Or at least pre the big hostage bend over appeasement.

Front page story in Sunday's Seattle Times on how the Feds are convinced that the Wa State ferry system has been scoped out for a terror attack. Current safety procedures don't anticpate an attack. For instance, the major runs have two ferries shuttling back and forth. The presumption that one could help the other in the event of an emergency doesn't hold if both come under attack.

#3 A bomb? Really, ya think? Surely not from the ROP.
