WHILE THE world watches the Balloon Boy story, we take a look at a few other things happening behind the scenes. In Iran, a homicide bomber killed 31 people in an attack on the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards. Iran blames the US and the UK, which is to be expected, but we note that ABC’s Brian Ross reported two years ago that the CIA was at the very least encouraging and advising Jundullah, the Al Qaeda-linked Sunni militant group that’s claimed responsibility for the attack.
PREPAREDNESS, AS any Boy Scout knows, is important. Even the ancient Canaanites knew it, as evidenced by the recently discovered 26 foot high walls built with 4-5 ton boulders in Jerusalem. The walls connected to towers with walls 12-and-a-half feet thick, all to guard the path to the city’s only water supply, the Gihon Spring. So who or what was such a threat in 1800 B.C. that you needed 26-foot walls to keep them out?
