in reference to the jihadists seeking info on a zionist structure "resembling the pentagon", "somewhat high", and "easily accessible"...that one kinda scared me.

i work in a federally owned building in indianapolis that is 2nd only to the pentagon in terms of size. instead of a pentagon, it's a sort of figure 8, with 2 inner courtyards. it's 3 stories tall, houses about 3,000 employees, and recently completed a $125 million renovation. this building houses the defense finance and accounting service, one of several regional centers (including columbus, denver, cleveland, and pensacola). one of its primary missions is the pay and allowances for the u.s. army, all appropriation and accounting activity for army, and all transportation payments to vendors for army and other services.

in other words, it's a nice target, easily accessible (all land around it was privatized by the base closure commission back in the 90's).

i seriously hope this isn't what the jihadists were referring to, because i'm paranoid enough when i go there as it is. federal protective service does a good job there, but i'm not sure they're up to this sort of challenge.

Do let us know if you are attacked. The media won't. *sigh*

I know the building you're talking about, and I know your concern also. I'm not too many miles from there, right now. Back during the cold war, my dad pointed out to me the significance of the finance center as a target. Chilling, especially considering the islamic center out in Plainfield...
