November coming: US holds largest TERROR drill

http://rawstory.com/showarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fwp-dyn%2Fcontent%2Farticle%2F2006%2F06%2F02%2FAR2006060201410_pf.html

Shit, these guys are SO FUCKING transparent.
No drill last year, no drill the year before that and nothing before that....Now with Republicans knee-deep in shit politically, America is having an enormous, be very afraid, terror drill in the run up to November....

Bush and company are still standing on the dead bodies of True Americans just to better thier positions politically. they make me sick.

2. Terror drill will come in handy for construction of the Freedon Tower.

3. Why did you say "November coming". According to the

article, this is supposed to happen today, June 19!

4. And it's barely even publicised.

Sometimes a pointless government terror drill is just a pointless government terror drill.

5. Protecting themselves from attack.

Protecting us from civil liberties.

6. If Bush is keeping us so safe, why is such a drill even necessary?

7. OK, I'll probably get blasted for this but...

I think is a good thing to do. One, I do not see this being broadcast all over the place as a means to exploit terror (as has happened many times over with other things). Second, I've worked in IT for many years and continuity management (along with disaster recovery) is something almost all businesses do, being able to continue doing day to day operations is a must and to be honest, I find it surprising (and a bit disturbing) the gov is only starting this now.
