1. I saw 2 news trucks being guarded by a Homeland Security car...

...last night near the DNC.

2. Why we didn't break it

We heard about this last evening and felt it was too "inside baseball" to report it. The threat isn't to anyone other than the media.

3. That threat means Air America is in danger

and none other.

4. CNN's been reporting on it

all morning...any other links out there??

Group May Attack Media at Democrats Convention: FBI

BOSTON (Reuters) - The FBI said on Friday it was investigating "unconfirmed information" of a possible attack on media vehicles during the Democratic National Convention, which begins on Monday in Boston.

"The FBI has received unconfirmed information that a domestic group is planning to disrupt the Democratic National Convention by attacking media vehicles with explosives or incendiary devices," the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Boston field office said in a statement.

5. I bet if ELF said they were targeting the media at the convention...

...The major media would be all over it like flies on shit.

No double standard here, no siree.

6. roflmao. last week they tried scaring voters away

from the polls on election day.

now they're trying to scare the media away from covering the convention.

they're relentless, if nothing else.

7. Sounds like a Repuke tactic to me

Lets keep the Media away from their convention.

18. Yep. The ole Right-Wing Anthrax Assassin, surely Bush Trash Can Man

(for those who haven't read Stephen King's "The Stand")

is ramping up his Black Ops for the DNC.

Yes, run and be scared media, the Busheviks will protect you from...the Busheviks.

8. Let's just put them behind the razor-barb fence, so they'll be safe.....

They'll still have free speech. No problem...

9. The few who weren't kissing junta butt in Iraq had their hotels shelled

and now any in Boston who don't comply with Rove's dirctives are threatened? Hmmmm, when they gonna figure out reporting the junta party line may save their jobs but reporting the truth may just save their lives?

Note to reporters, don't give in to terrorists. It only encouraes them to do more violence to get their way. And some terrorists wear suits and ties.

10. yawn. fear is a rethuglican value.

bring it on.

[fearnobush]

14. True, Fear is for Republicans.

Let the Repukes be afraid. Thats their common emotion.

[kysrsoze]

11. You all think it's a joke, but remember how RW extremists can be

Remember the abortion clinic bomber, McVey, the bomb cache found in SE Texas. These fringe people do some messed up stuff. I'm more worried about something like this than Osama Bin Laden releasing WMDs on the convention.

I'd say there's a much bigger chance of something happening at the Dem convention than the Repub convention.

12. If anything, it's an attempt to keep the media from covering the...

...Democratic Convention. The NeoCons want the barest minimum of reporting coming from that convention.

13. FBI probing information

not the repubs convention, it seems like it's always the dems, whether it be an attack by anthrax or something else,something fishy here.


The FBI (news - web sites) said on Friday it was probing "unconfirmed information" that a domestic group is planning to disrupt next week's Democratic National Convention by attacking media vehicles with explosives or incendiary devices

15. Don't they mean "Right-wing" domestic

terrorist group? Hence Repubican't domestic TERRORIST group?

It is true: Republicant's are terrorists!!

A vote for * is a vote for the terrorists.

Repubic terrorists vow to stop free speech.

17. One Point for me!

I predicted a 'terralert' earlier this week
