Wil, I heard on the radio the other day that all information regarding water supplies, dams, nuclear power plants, etc has been removed from websites in the USA. I don't know for sure if this is true, but it makes sense.

 You might try getting information by searching for information on botulism, LSD and other chemical/biological agents.

I found a couple sites for general information that might help you with wording:

I work with one of the brightest folks at Boeing, his first name is Amir.  Born in Iran, came over in 1979, went to college at Oregon State.  Been at Boeing since Grad school ever since.  Best friend. He's as American as you and I.

Anyway, he put it bluntly, coming from a Islam background.

"Americans have to realize that these extremists don't want to sit down at a table and negotiate..they want to kill you.  Plain and simple. They want you dead.  We must kill them before they kill us."

Edit: He was 18 yrs old when he came over in 1979, right before the Hostage crisis and changing of the guard.

i'm not sure you can affect the water supply, there are many things in natural water that will make you sick or kill you ,thats why we have water treatment plants, my water is heavily filtered and disinfected with clorine and ammonia and the quality is checked by a in house lab 24/7

Thanks again, no time to get a book though, work must be in on monday  :(

Rip, not acusing anyone (don't think that's what you ment either). I don't think there are only Islam people who are terrorist, the past have proven that. I belive though, that the most extreeme terrorists in the world, have Islam as their religion, and I know, it's just a small group (after all, there are around 1 billion Islamic people in the world) A**holes out there who make the rest look bad, just as there are small groups in the society who make bigger groups look bad.

There is nothing in the world, more dangerous then religious fanatics who, in all and every way, belive that there is only right thing, and are ready to kill everybody who are against them. This has been proven threwout the history, both when it comes to Christians and other religions.

Ok, that was a bit off-topic  ;)

Btw, your friend Amir is SO TOTALLY RIGHT!

As noted above, the water is purified and de-contaminated to protect from biological and particulate agents.  The BEST way would be to make the base supply(before processing) unusable, and I ain't telling you how to do that.

There are terrorists of almost every hue. Catholic, Protestant, Communist, Sunni, Shi'ah...

Hmmm... don't think I've heard of Buddhist terrorists.

Q: How can you identify a Buhddist Terrorist?

A: He is the one holding an ant farm over his head, threatening to smash it.


edit-(but he won't)
