That's funny ... when I saw the reference to "C-town," I thought it was a nickname for Cowtown, a longtime, not-so-endearing nickname for Columbus. :-)
Columbus is a wonderful city, I live a little south of there. I wouldn't consider "Cowtown" an insult, but a badge of honor. C-Bus has always had the touch of small town in a big city atmosphere.
To know that we are now a target of such a heinous terrorist threat should make everyone wake up and smell the coffee. If "Cowtown, USA" is threatened, who's next?
