If this is true, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was a Special Operations exercise taking place in preparation of possible bad things (tm) happening. Obviously Delta Force is there hovering around in helicopters ready to go into action in case of problems. They could want to do a dress rehearsal just in case. It would also explain why it has been hushed up.

Er... not likely. Delts would use copters to repel in. or drive in the front door, no need for such a risk. Plus the panic factor if they were seen, no one on our side would authorize such a dress rehersal.

If there was a air space restriction How could terrorists get into a vulnerable area ? Just like that. It is dramatic and ballsy which is what AQ likes. My thoughts are there is a news black out and they are dealing with the story the best they can.

Yes the govt. can black out news for govt. security reasons.
