What needs to be learned to sift out the bogus from the real for the next time? Not trying to cause any flaming or ill feelings but this is an integral part of the intelligence cycle - evaluating the data. Here you go Godzilla, sift out the bogus from the real when it comes to the tanker truck accidents, the fires, the illnesses and the other mysterious incidents occurring with ever-increasing frequency in our nation's cities We are all working together here and what may appear innocuous to one person, may set up signals of alert to another. We need to get the sleeper cells while they are sleeping and before they spring into action. FReepers on this thread post links to the information at hand, therefore eliminating what you call "bogus" and not real information. Our enemy uses terminology and verbiage that requires us to speculate on their intent. I suggest you read some of the fine links that Cindy provides to help you understand what we do here.
