FBI Helps Probe of Blast at Stem-Cell Lab

[Rose Siding]

BOSTON (Reuters) - FBI agents are helping investigate an explosion at a Boston-area laboratory specializing in stem-cell research, and a newspaper said on Friday the blast was caused by a pipe bomb.

Gail Marcinkiewicz, an FBI spokeswoman in Boston, said on Friday it was among law enforcement agencies that responded to the early Thursday morning explosion at Amaranth Bio. She declined further comment on the blast, in which no one was injured.

The Boston Herald reported that a pipe bomb caused the explosion, although a source close to the investigation told the newspaper that authorities do not suspect terrorism.

3. "but there is reason to believe . . .

5. Because when the Imperial Sturmtruppen do it, it's NOT 'terrorism'

Terrorism is only committed by liberals, jews, blacks, gays, college students, free thinkers, an other Enemeies of the Bush Imperial Family.

Tim McVeigh = Bushfriend, very Limbaugh Rethug, NOT a Terrorist, don't you know?

[0007]

16. The right wing has a host of terrorist. But they never talk about

'em very much. Have you hear anything much about Eric Rudolph these days? Fuck no!

We do hear much about Michael Jackson, Laci Peterson.

How come we never hear about the man that escaped the death sentence, Ted Kaczynski, (the Unabomber) who did the same thing as Tim McVeigh, but didn't kill as many?

6. Good Christianism

No offense to REAL Christians. I'm talking about the Christofacists, your branch of Pharisees

[Dhalgren]

9. I found a good term for these pseudo-christians:

"Christianist". A couple of years ago, I read an editorial condemning the christian-right for their fascism. I can't remember anything else, except the term "Christianist" - meaning someone who uses Christianity for political gain. I like it.

2. Good God, what now...abortion clinics, now stem cell research labs.

What have these nut cases of bush's following doing to this country, and they call us terrorists.

[TwoHandedLayup]

4. WTF?

Ohhhh because it was a right wing nut job it is not terrorism. That must be patriotism. My mistake for questioning.

[Just Me]

12. They want to distance Americans from the reality of domestic terrorism,...

,...which is documented to be, at least, twenty-three times more a threat than foreign terrorist acts.

[realisticphish]

7. what else would a good christian girl be doing at planned parenthood?

shes planting a pipe bomb???


ok, two things


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Gman]

8. No terrorism here

neither was the Anthrax, neither was Oklahoma City...

are we still allowed to think? Somebody let me know once thinking's been outlawed.

[Joanne98]

10. The Christians did it so it's not terra saz Asscroft

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[dave123williams]

11. Seriously...

Sombody bombs a building, but it's not terrorism. What the fuck?

[DBoon]

13. Why not IVF clinics too?

Think of all the embryos that get destroyed in the process of making in-vitro fertilization work?

Oh, wait, affluent Republicans use IVF - can't bomb THOSE clinics!

14. bush gave $1 million to "adopt" embryos

The problem with ‘embryo adoption’
Why is the government giving money to ‘Snowflakes?’
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3076556/

Despite Snowflakes’ rhetoric, most frozen embryos are not healthy enough to ever become babies. The chance they will grow to full term is about one in 10 for those frozen less than five years, and even less for those that have been frozen longer. This is why so few couples have taken Snowflakes up on its idea of “adopting” frozen embryos.

Moreover, using terms like “adoption” encourages people to believe that frozen embryos are the equivalent of children. But they are not the same. In fact, infertile couples who want children can frequently make embryos but they cannot make embryos that become fetuses or babies.

The older a woman gets, the less likely her embryos are to become babies. For women over 45, the chance of her embryo becoming a baby is almost zero. The inability to make embryos that become babies is why couples turn to donor eggs or donor sperm. Almost no one who is going to spend $10,000 per try to use IVF is going to want to try it with another infertile couple’s frozen embryo whose chances of properly developing grow less with every year it is frozen.

A government sham
The Bush administration and Congress know all these facts, but have nevertheless poured more than $1 million of taxpayer money into the Snowflakes program and others aimed at facilitating “embryo adoption.”

17. Bomb a building for Islam: Bad. Bomb a building for Christianity: Good

Thus says the Bush administration.
