8/3 Orange alert info pre-dates 9/11
http://csua.org/u/8fl
officials "reported that they had not yet found concrete evidence that
a terror plot or preparatory surveillance operations were still under
way."
\_ Okay. What should we conclude from that?
\_ That the orange alert is politically timed?
\_ That the timing is, again, dubious. Old information trotted
out after a major event for the other side.
\_ It's not old information. The files were updated *this* year.
Furthermore, 9/11 was planned for years. So it's NEW
information to us, and the fact that some was originally
planned years ago doesn't simply mean that it might be
outdated, but that it might be close to fruition.
\_ Updated in January. Six months ago. Hello, how is that
news? Are you saying that after all of the intel reforms,
it still takes 6 months to decipher intel?
\_ Be nice to the op. I don't think he's very good at
reading comprehension.
\_ No such thing as facts, only an interpretation of the
facts, huh? Its pretty funny to watch the freepers try
to defend the credibility of Tom Ridge as it approaches
singularity.
\_ What are you talking about? The NYT article
makes it pretty clear what was going on. Just
because the info is a few years old, doesn't
mean it's out-of-date.
\_ No, but it's not news. The announcement is for
areas that are already in an elevated state of
alert. This was yet another "we're still doing
stuff" announcement. Also, by virtue of predating
9/11, any surveillence from then would be more
or less useless because we've changed and improved
the security measures... right?
\_ Hilarious. Every major news outlet is carrying this story in one
form or another...except for Fox News. Their headline is "lady
liberty reopens to public." The story doesn't seem to appear
anywhere on their site.
\_ So there really *is* a news bias?
\_ Informed. Powerful. Huge Penis.
\_ could someone please explain the HUGE, TAX FREE PENIS thing?
what is that a reference to?
\_ In re: Ann Coulter it's a reference to the fact that some
motder(s?) like her and the only plausible reason for
liking a woman who admires Joe McCarthy is that they want
to have sex with a reasonably hot arch-conservative, so
the retort is "Oh! Your penis is so BIG and TAX FREE!".
\_ So you're saying this originated on the motd?
\_ Yeah, I am pretty sure it did.
\_ Nice straw man.
\_ I don't think this means what you think it does.
