Al Qaeda terrorists in Washington? I haven't heard anything to that effect. Still, its a reminder 9/11 as well the memory of President Reagan both live on in our country's consciousness.
Run in that heat. Yikes. Heard it's in the 90's in DC today. Hope folks are careful.
West entrance was evacuated across the street. False alarm. Everyone returning now.
A DC Chapter live thread is running at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1150552/posts?page=1
People being allowed back in line.
Brit Hume says that an airplane could not be identified.......so they evacuated............

Also, I should clarify...
Article says chemical attack planned for America but didn't identify Washington, D.C. specifically.
Kerry now at front of the line. ;)
Over here for the Live Thread for us who don't have cable yet!
Maybe now they will fire Norm Mineta.
They were able to identify the plane and they let people go back to their rightful places in line.
Live thread over here.
Thanks, Howlin. Pretty exciting few minutes there in the Capitol. Whew.
Thanks, Tom!
We're off to an unbelieveable start.......LOL.
Thanks for the ping.
Brian Wilson reported they were told to RUN. Lester Holt on MSNBC said he had never been in a situation where such deadly serious warning had been issued and people told to RUN.
All Clear now. Unidentified plane had been identified.
Whew
Why? It seems he and his folks are doing the job.
