Progress
So we have credible intelligence about Al Qaeda pilots on Air France perhaps – MSNBC is reporting that France and US officials are seeking a specific individual who was to board a flight departing from Paris.
The Military has deployed anti-aircraft missiles around Washington and New York, and we have combat air patrols up.
It’s going to be an interesting Christmas. But we’re making progress.

RIP Trooper Scott A. Patrick
Trooper Scott A. Patrick, 27, was shot in the neck when he stopped to check a vehicle with flat tires on an expressway exit ramp in Gary, according to the Indiana State Police.
As Patrick approached the driver, who was walking away from the car, the man pulled a pistol and shot Patrick above his bulletproof vest, police said. Patrick died at North Lake Methodist Hospital in Gary.

Patrick was the 42nd trooper to die on duty since 1933 and the fourth Indiana police officer to die on the job this month. The last trooper killed on duty was Jason E. Beal, struck by a vehicle on Jan. 15, 2000, in Kosciusko County.
For Frodo
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, and we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship.
But it is not this day.

In the old days, the conquered tyrant was dragged through the streets behind the Roman general’s chariot. Or paraded shackled before a jeering crowd. Or, when more finality was required, had his head placed on a spike on the tower wall. [Townhall Online]
