Pictures of a moose might not be anything unusual, but pictures of this particular breed of the animal are certainly rare:

WHITEFISH, Mont. — A KREM-TV News viewer shared incredible pictures of an albino moose shot recently by a co-worker near Whitefish, Montana. The cow moose can be seen foraging for food in a thicket with two other moose.

A terrific slideshow of photos of the moose in its natural habitat is available here.

For those who believe that we can turn a blind eye to the threats which face not only our country but the world in the War on Terror, take a few minutes to read this:

Islamist extremists have infiltrated Government and key public utilities to pass sensitive information to terrorists, the security services have warned.

Counter-terrorism officials say “insiders” or their associates are almost certainly working “undetected” in sensitive posts and are actively supporting the activities of extremists.

In some cases, lifelong relationships between friends or relatives are being exploited to obtain crucial information from those in sensitive posts.

The development is detailed in intelligence reports circulated to the Home Office, police and Whitehall officials.

No “scare tactics” in play here by politicians, just the realism of the world in which we live today.

and this:

These words come to you from South Baghdad, where signs of progress are unmistakable. I am with 1-4 CAV in an area that was among the most dangerous in Iraq during early and mid 2007. But a few days ago I walked down a road—wearing no body armor or helmet—where just 7 or 8 months ago tanks and Strykers would have been in great danger.

I don’t usually insert videos in these quick hit type posts, but I just could not resist this one: HT: Roger Simon:

Move over Mick Jagger… she’s 67!
