I'm really bummed over this.

Dakar Rally canceled after terror threat - Yahoo! News

It's been hard for me to find TV coverage of this over the past couple of years, but I always at least check into the webcasts. This is one of my favorite motorsports events around. Al-Qaida must be proud of their handiwork.

wow that's a huge event to cancel. maybe i'm crazy but the only way to deal with terrorist is to pull the trigger.

Wow. That was a great event too. The U.S. would just tighten up security, but of course, France cancels it altogether.
