"The White Widow"...

[Lord Jim]

This has Movie Of The Week written all over it...

Was 'White Widow' Samantha Lewthwaite involved in Kenya mall attack?



(CNN) -- British-born Samantha Lewthwaite was once seen as a kind of victim of the July 2005 London terror attacks -- the pregnant wife of one of the suicide bombers who killed 52 people, now left alone to care for her children.

She condemned the attacks but then vanished. Now, Kenyan authorities say, she is the infamous "White Widow," alleged to be a supporter and financier of people linked to the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab.

Reports that a white woman was among the terrorists who stormed Nairobi, Kenya's, upscale Westgate Shopping Mall on Saturday -- an operation for which Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility -- have prompted a slew of media speculation that she might have been involved.

But no official confirmation has been given. A senior Kenyan government official said a woman was among the attackers. Yet it is "impossible," based on the government's photo evidence (and before a forensics examination is complete), to determine who that might be.

Is it just me or is there something illogical about her photo: She is hearing a veil to cover her hair to make herself less appealing to men and then she wearing lip stick to look more appealing.

I can’t believe I did that. I have left out words before, but this is first time I have left out an entire sentence. Evidently as soon as I fixed what I wanted to say I hit the submit button. It is getting worse you guys are gong to watch me deteriorate in front of your eyes. I saw in it in my mind but there was nothing on the screen.

My attention deficient and dyslexia. It was pretty bad when I was a kid, but I over came. Now that I am getting old I feel that it is starting to return. But on the other hand fearing something sometimes tends to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

My attention deficient and dyslexia.

But not an early on-set Alzheimers sort of thing?

(I've joked about this regarding some folks around here, but I can't imagine anything more awful...)

I agree, I can imagine some bad scenarios, but that would be one of the worse. The only defense I can see would be to detect it early on so that one would have the opportunity to investigate options and make plans for the end.

Alzheimer, no not me; I have enough to deal without having to worry about that. The problems I have are bad enough; they made getting through college interesting.

It runs in my family, and it's one reason I have my 12-bore.
