WEBSITE RESOURCE ON TERRORISM

- A Terrorism Knowledge Base now provides details online for about 18,000 terrorist attacks worldwide over four decades, indictments spanning 20 years, terrorist group profiles and tools to analyze data.
The site, funded by $5 million in tax money, is the result of four years of work by the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, established by Congress after the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
Participants in the site's creation were the RAND Corporation that provided terrorist incident data going back to 1968; DFI International for terrorist group profiles; and the Universities of Arkansas and Oklahoma for indictment documents.

Spy imagery agency takes new role inside United States after Sept. 11
In the name of homeland security, America's spy imagery agency is keeping a close eye, close to home. It's watching America. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, about 100 employees of a little-known branch of the Defense Department called the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency -- and some of the country's most sophisticated aerial imaging equipment -- have focused on observing what's going on in the United States.

FRANKS REVIEW

Benchmade: Folding & Fixed

I bought my first Benchmade Knife about ten years ago when I was working in a beautiful garden spot community... about four miles east of the Washington DC border. Suffice to say that when the sun set, so did the "beautiful garden spot" description. On a daily basis I was carrying their AFCK (Advanced Folding Combat Knife) tucked into my waistband and I've had the pleasure of owning various Benchmade knives since then. I recently received three T&E knives from them and those are the items we'll be looking at this week.

The three models that Benchmade sent were:
- the 140SBT Nimravus. A fixed blade design with kydex sheath.
- the 520SBT Presidio. An Axis lock folding design.
- the 5000SBT Presidio. An Auto Axis lock folding design.
