CNN showing "Attractive Targets" for terrorists.
Under the heading "Security watch-Target: USA"

The reporter is naming several attractive terror targets, mainly ports where massive amounts of oil are pumped in. Awfully nice of CNN to give everyone really neat ideas about where and how to attack the u.s., even publishing how to make a cheap bomb from household liquids.

Its almost as if....nah, I wont' say it.

2. just change the channel
don't reward them for fearmongering. they desperately need the ratings and they'll do it any way they can.

4. And be sure to let them know why you're not watching anymore.
If the ratings tank, the media will have to do something. If they discover their right wing, war mongering, terrorist promoting tactics aren't working, they'll switch. They have to if they want to survive.

I have a really hard time watching the O'Brien twins in the morning, anyway...

5. my husband had that on when I woke up
I thought I was having a nightmare. CNN is really scraping the barrel now. I don't know how Christiane Amanpour stays with them. I would be humiliated.

7. You truly think a potential terrorist would rely on CNN for...........
ideas of future targets???? :rofl:

I think whatever CNN might be showing - has long since been accepted into or rejected from a terrorist's file of ideas.

8. Yeah, I was just
sitting here thinking of making the very same post and came on the board to find you've alread made it ;)

Ok, if you won't say it, I will. It's almost as if they are providing the enemy with the means by which to provide them with more death and mayhem to babble on about.

12. New Orleans' Off Shore rigs are Al Qaeda Target!
Reporter proposes terrorists attack tanker with 3 million gallons of oil and the environmental disaster it would cause. Getting awfully specific aren't they?

14. Target: USA: Is this a new show now?
Yes, a large target has been drawn over the map for some strange reason. Why do they hate us again?

16. The terrorists don't seem to lack creativity or intelligence
The only people this may be news to our the majority of Americans who don't plan terrorist plots.

20. I awakened this morning to this unbelieveale broadcast.
It there is a target that the "terrorists" haven't thought about, CNN just reminded them.

21. CNN has really been on a downward spiral lately...
They are quickly forcing themselves into irrelevancy.

23. It is a "you too may be a target" message
They are just hyping the fear. Mind you, if a plane really did crash (or whatever) we would quickly be reassured that it was just a mechanical failure.
