This is the response I received from Robyn Ziegler of the CTA. I left a message for David Bayles the Chicago Police Department at 312-745-6110 to further investigate this story. I have also contacted Agnes Vondermuho with the French Embassy at 202-944-6047 about this story. Still no word from the Justice Department Office.

Tom Heneghen has been blasting out damaging information that is catching like wildfire throughout the Internet. Here is an example http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=3388 I just contacted the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Media Relations Phone: 1-312-681-3090 on his statement. I will post the response from the CTA head of security. I have also contacted the Justice Department 202-307-9065 to get a statement on this matter. I am also trying to contact the Laidlaw Corporation to get their response. If anyone knows the company's location please let me know. "Nothing is swifter than rumor" - Horace

think1st and finnish_creep, I see that you both are quite spirited individuals. Comparisons of current world leaders and events such as the United States war in Iraq must be made carefully and with an awareness of the complexity of history. Our individual perspectives on these comparisons are shaped by differences in political point of view, personal history or age, past experience of violence or tragedy, geographical or cultural origins or reference points. The DC Message Board Project was to developed to give our global online community the opportunity to learn more about complex and difficult issues, rather than re-enacting polarized debate.

I think the Whistleblower Protection Act is more applicable. A federal agency violates the Whistleblower Protection Act if it takes or fails to take (or threatens to take or fail to take) a personnel action with respect to any employee or applicant because of any disclosure of information by the employee or applicant that he or she reasonably believes evidences a violation of a law, rule or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) has jurisdiction over allegations of whistleblower retaliation for made by employees of the SEC. * Whistleblower Protection Act Complaints should be sent to U.S. Office of Special Counsel Complaints Examining Unit 1730 M Street, NW, Suite 201 Washington, DC 20036-4505 The required Whistleblower complaint form is available online at OSC (www.osc.gov)

I was watching the movie, 'Big Fish,' and was reminded of all you amazing life stories. I can only wish to be half the man you were. I love and miss you very much.

Hey Nikki Where are you from?

I am sure he will be there for you if you ever need him Joe. So no worries.

That seems pretty interesting I will have to check it out.

This 4th of July my wife and I ended up in Missoula, Montana. By random chance I ended up meeting former Sen. George McGovern at the Independence Day celebration at Southgate Mall. The Boy Scouts gave out 3-D glasses to watch the fireworks. The glasses really made the 30 minute firework display a memorable one.

How far in advance do you have to book? How long/$$$ are your shows?

What do you mean by a holy crusade? Why do consider the United States an empire? What form of government do you believe in?

Call Brian Lowe. He is a master craftsman and artist. He lives in Bethesda, but give him a call at 301.461-4612

Human, I just got married this weekend at the Jefferson Memorial. I will be going cross country for one month on my honeymoon. Hopefully the discussion boards will not be spammed to much. I have some volunteers that are going to do their best to moderate it. If you are ever interested in being a monderator let me know. I know alot of folks really appreciate the time you have taken to help out our community. Thanks and I will converse with you soon.

Arthur, Thanks for the post. I will make sure to pass the message. I really excited about the new stadium.

Why did you start the message boards. Is charmed your favorite show?

I agree with you one hundred percent. I live here in the District and hope they do set up some detection system. There were intitial rumors that a radiation detection grid was being placed around Washington. At the moment I only have seen Bio/Chemical Agent Detection Systems around major points of interest. Every major event I worry that a terrorist attack can happen. This upcoming Fourth of July the Washington Nationals playing at RFK and several hundred thousand people will be having fun on the National Mall. What a security nightmare. I have heard that the government is implementing a radiation detection system at major shipping ports around the country. I think this is a good first step. Currently, cargo ship containers you can be rented by anyone. Due to the amount of containers that come into our ports every day customs only randomly checks what is in them. A friend of mine told me that after customs checks you the first time, very rarely do they check your future shipments. How scary is that????

What about jobs for Mexicans. In my opinion Mexico really needs to build an economy that raises the standard income level for its people to survive in a global economy.

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved Virginia’s wellhead protection program, which supports community projects to protect underground drinking water sources. “Virginia’s wellhead protection program reflects Virginia’s commitment to help protect critical underground sources of drinking water for 1.6 million customers. Wellhead protection is another important way that citizens can actively participate in protecting their own environment,” said Donald S. Welsh, regional administrator for EPA’s mid-Atlantic region. “Wellhead protection at the local level is an important part of ensuring the quality of Virginia’s water supply,” said Robert G. Burnley director of Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. “DEQ and our partners at the Virginia Department of Health will continue to support local wellhead protection efforts through a program of technical assistance and funding opportunities.” Virginia’s wellhead protection program focuses on developing safeguards to prevent contaminants from entering water supply wells. Wellheads are the locations where the water enters the well. The wellhead protection area is a wide, often irregularly shaped area surrounding the well that needs to be protected from potential contaminants including leaking underground storage tanks, pesticides leaching into the soil, and faulty septic systems that release harmful bacteria. Community wellhead protection programs may include identifying sensitive wellhead areas that need protection, identifying potential sources of contaminants, and managing the protected area. The federal Safe Drinking Water Act requires all states to develop a wellhead protection plan. With an approved plan, Virginia is eligible to receive federal grants that communities can use for wellhead protection. During 2005, EPA is providing the Virginia DEQ and the Virginia Department of Health with $165,000 for wellhead protection at the local level. Local and state governments, and water suppliers promote wellhead protection through public education, health regulations, monitoring surveys, zoning ordinances, land acquisition, and other types of local planning. More information on EPA wellhead protection program can be found at http://www.epa.gov/OGWDW/whpnp.html Virginia communities interested in launching a wellhead protection program can call Virginia DEQ’s Water Resources Division at 804-698-4042 or visit their website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/gwpsc/whp.htm .

High temperatures are here, but that doesn't have to mean high energy bills. EPA's Energy Star program has advice on smart ways to keep cool with energy-efficient products and practices. The average family spends $1,500 a year on energy bills, nearly half of which goes to heating and cooling. To help protect against high energy bills, EPA encourages the following: – Look for the Energy Star label on products such as ceiling fans, programmable thermostats, and room air conditioners. & Schedule an annual checkup for your central air conditioner with a licensed contractor, and check or replace its air filter once a month. & Replace an old or broken-down central air conditioner or heat pump with new, high efficiency equipment. Homeowners save as much as 20 percent on energy costs if new equipment is properly installed with properly installed and sealed ducts. & Seal up gaps and cracks in the basement, attic, around doors and windows. Add insulation if needed. This will help reduce energy bills throughout the winter, too. & Get informed. For additional ways to make your home more energy efficient, see EPA's Guide to Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling on the Energy Star web site or call 1-888-STAR-YES for a free copy. If half of all American homes were cooled with energy saving Energy Star products, the change would prevent nearly 70 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to the emissions of nearly 6 million cars. EPA is working together with Energy Star partner manufacturers, national retailers, and energy efficiency organizations to make it easier to find cooling products that have earned the Energy Star. Energy Star was started by EPA in 1992 as a voluntary partnership to reduce air pollution through increased energy efficiency. Today, in partnership with the Department of Energy, the program offers businesses and consumers energy-efficient solutions to save energy, money and help protect our environment for future generations. More than 7,000 organizations have become Energy Star partners and are committed to improving the energy efficiency of products, homes and businesses.
