Terra! Terra! Terra Lert!

It's all over the local news. Terra! Boston! Dirty bomb! EVERY time Bush does something outrageous there is a terra lert to divert attention and to justify the excessive security. We saw it when the RNC was in NY. Now they are ratcheting it up for tomorrow. Disgusting.

7. No! They also use it to suppress dissent, such as during the RNC.
They want an excuse to crack down on the DC protestors tomorrow.

5. I think it a Seymour Hersh/ New Yorker alert.
His article is getting alot of attention, and people do not like the idea of expanding the "war on terror" to yet another quagmire. Voila! And the Iranian-themed threat materializes out of thin air.

6. Question
If a dirty bomb goes off in Boston before the Patriots leave for Pittsburgh...do the Steelers win the AFC championship by default? Would they cancel the season and Superbowl?
