Soporific Used During Special Operation
It’s likely that the special forces that stormed the theater building where Chechen terrorists held hostages used soporific to neutralize the terrorists, according to NEWSru.COM commenting on the video shot on the attack scene and demonstrated on the Russian ORT television.
The video demonstrated the terrorists, camouflaged men and women of Caucasian appearance, strapped with explosives. Judging by the poses of their bodies, the terrorists were killed while asleep.
hypnotic (soporific) n. a drug that produces sleep by depressing brain function. Hypnotics include benzodiazepines (such as nitrazepam and temazepam), chloral hydrate, and some sedative antihistamines (e.g. promethazine).

Al-Qaeda 'hacking' websites
THE al-Qaeda terror network has begun using hackers who break into websites to create secret pages that send messages to its followers, internet specialists say. An example came earlier this month when a message purportedly from al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden appeared on cenobite.com, a website started by a fan of science fiction writer Clive Barker.

Musings on the Moose
Chief Moose Fan Club
Why the popularity of 'The Moose'? I sit here, literally half-a-world away, musing on why Chief Charles Moose of the Montgomery County Police Force caused me to start this site ( with a little help from my friends of course ). Is it his understated charisma, his steely resolve or his way with words (duck in a noose anyone ?). For me it's all of these things.

The New Politics of Pot
Time magazine has noticed Pot is an election issue
The drug czar is ready for pro wrestling. He already has the name, and now he's got the prefight talk down cold. In every speech he makes in Nevada, where Bush appointee John Walters has traveled to fight an initiative that would legalize marijuana, he calls out his three sworn enemies as if he were Tupac Shakur.

Chuck Yeager still has the right stuff
The 79-year-old legendary test pilot broke the sound barrier yesterday for what he said was the last time, more than a half-century after he became the first person to accomplish the feat. Yeager's first cracking of the sound barrier in 1947 was the crowning achievement in a career that included service in World War II and Vietnam. The feat was immortalized in the movie "The Right Stuff."

Feed your desire for serial killer knowledge
Any historical survey of serial murder would have to begin at least as far back as ancient Rome, when the Emperor Caligula was busily indulging his taste for torture and perversion. During the Middle Ages, depraved Aristocrats like Gilles de Rais (the original "Bluebeard") and Elizabeth Bathory (the "Blood Countess") fed their unholy lusts on the blood of hundreds of victims, while psychopathic peasants like Gilles Ganier and Peter Stubbe butchered their victims with such bestial ferocity that they were believed to be literal werewolves.
