So? I don't see a problem. If they guy sells bombs to the military, I
am quite sure anyone listening to his call can find this out.....
eventually. If they guy uses the word bomb on a cellphone in an airport,
he is not thinking clearly.

Many Americans ARE profoundly ignorant - but, Hatunen - I'd not have

Having grown up a few miles from a Republic Steel coking plant,
I'm pretty sure.

Coke is the residual left after distallation of volatile materials
from organic materials including coal and petroleum. For instance:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=coke

From someone who is most familiar with petroleum derived coke.

You've sent me on a google search and I see that coke can indeed
be made from petroleum, although the word usually applies to a
product made from coal. Wikipedia mentions petroluem-based coke
almost in passing and raises a couple of questions in my mind
that I don't think I'll pursue.

Being raised in a steel town, I would obviously be most familiar
with coal coke.

I stand re-educated.
