<http://www.pagesix.com/pagesix/5934.htm> DOG DESTROYER OSAMA bin Laden has another enemy to worry about. The folks at PETA are launching a campaign against the subterranean psychopath for running tanneries in Khartoum, capital of the Sudan, for the last 10 years, reports MSNBC's Jeannette Walls. PETA warns that the hides are turned into leather goods in Italy, so consumers could unknowingly be supporting bin Laden.

31163 FBI Arrests -- rank: 1000

Kelley wrote: >The arrests could be in New York City, possibly within days but certainly >within two weeks, sources say. Why the hell would they make this info public? Surely terrorists read the Post - who could blame them? And besides, it's an occupational requirement. So either the FBI wanted to tip them off so they'd go into hiding, or they wanted to make fools of themselves in two weeks when the arrests don't happen, or something.
