The Seattle Post Intelligencer is carrying an AP report of a suspicious package found on ferry, but still hasn't published the photos of two men the FBI is seeking in order to question them about their suspicious surveillance-type activity aboard several Seattle-area ferries in recent weeks. The AP report in the P-I says the details of the contents of the suspicious package "were not immediately available, but the Seattle Times' report, by a Seattle Times staffer, says Trooper Cliff Pratt of the Washington State Patrol's bomb squad, described the package, found rolled in carpet in a ferry bathroom earlier Wednesday morning, as possible remnants of a bomb that had not functioned correctly.
Meanwhile, ABC News is now running a story on the search for the mystery men, noting that, "In April 2006, the Washington State Ferries system was ranked among the nation's most sought-after targets for maritime terrorism by a Justice Department inspector general."
Past Newsbusters coverage of the Post-Intelligencer's refusal to run the photos:

That’s the problem. Approximately half of the country is against us (and, if they just thought about it for a minute or two, themselves, since they are part of “us”).
www.jihadwatch.org has a photo of the two people discussed above.
PING!!
PI giving them an obligatory head start?
"No photos!"
And if these men orchestrate an attack, how much do you want to bet this newspaper will be out in front blaming President Bush for not stopping it? Idiots.
If these men are innocent, why haven’t they made themselves accessible to clear things up? Who are they, where are they?
One easy way to get the photos published - accuse the photo subjects of “Homophobic Hate Speech”.
I think I just saw a photo of the men on foxnews.com
Al’s stuffed with Sandy Berger’s papers.
Yep, they look Amish to me...
Our media is always a day late when attempting to keep up. If our media would come to Free Republic more, our media would be better informed and could be on the cutting edge. It is the old media own fault. Trust them at your own risk.
It wasn’t me, I swear!
I would have expected no less from the Seattle PI. Those socialists don’t like cooperating with their enemies.
We had an incident in Raleigh yesterday.
A man followed two different women in two different locations.
NEWS rooms wanted us to BOLO the man.
Of course, NO description was given. Zero
Are they that stupid?
PC run amuck.
Are they that stupid?
in one word....Yes.
