    edit oops...posted an article from 2004... doh...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I only saw it in a blurb on nyc channel 9. If somethings goin on, why isnt it on major news channels?

    I know I didnt hallucinate the news. Are they just trying to contain public hysteria? They mentioned it, talked about it for like 30 seconds, then moved on to sports.

    Anyone?

    CNN right now. Al Queda has made threats of radiological attacks on US soil. NYC in a raised state of alert.

    mostly Lower Manhattan, tonight, due to a threat from an unmentioned international website that mentions radiological terror threats. The police aren't giving any comments and the reporters are calling everything "unverified" at this point.

    That's all I could gather from the commentary. The visuals were cars on the streets being stopped and searched.

    I'll stay on it, search some other channels....

    Thanks for the heads up!! I don't want much TV.

    the FBI has no indication that NYC is under any threat (meantime, they show visuals of cops parked all around a building in NYC tonight).

    Now they're back to the mine in Utah.

    wtf?

    Very strange coverage for a potentially HUGE story.


    Odd to say the least.

    ...that when I broke up with my abusive ex in California and came home to NY, that I'd taken one of our gas masks with me.

    My ex was one of those "the sky is falling on Jan. 1 2000" guys. He made us buy gas masks, camoflague (sp) clothing, trunks full of water filters and foil packets of food, etc. He taught me how to fire a handgun (I'm better with rifles, thank you) and when in a bad mood taught me a lot of survival techniques....but I digress.

    It would be nice to have that damned gas mask at times like these.

    Then again, maybe this whole "threat" tonight in NYC is just a fart from our Homeland Security head's butt (what's his name? Chernoff? Turnoff?). The same threat that made so many Dems in Congress cave in last week and allow Bush to legalize his illegal warrantless wiretapping program.

    Just a thought.
