This is BS. How do they know it will be September or October? If if they know THAT much, why don't they give us more information to protect ourselves.

A California television news program has obtained a memo that warns California hospitals they should consider themselves potential al-Qaida targets.
Sacramento's KCRA reported Friday that earlier this month, the U.S. government learned that hospitals across the country could be terror targets.
As a result, the California Hospital Association sent a letter to hospitals statewide, warning them of the threat.
In the letter, the California Department of Homeland Security warns that al-Qaida may be planning attacks on hospitals in September or October of this year.
Although the government says the information is uncorroborated, it is urging hospital employees to be vigilant.
The source specifically mentioned the Los Angeles and San Diego areas, but emergency centers nationwide have been warned.
"Hospitals are a key piece of infrastructure," said California Homeland Security spokesman Gary Winuk. "If there is to be an attack somewhere, particularly biological or chemical, they're the first line of defense. So, we're very concerned about them and a number of other sectors."
The government source told homeland security officials that nuclear facilities and military and civilian airports are also possible targets.
They don't play by the Geneva Conventions, do they..
This is BS. How do they know it will be September or October? If if they know THAT much, why don't they give us more information to protect ourselves.
I can see this coupled with bio attacks, fill the hospitals with sick then blow them, creating conditions where people
are afraid to seek help.
Remember, it's all about TERROR.
But whatever you, do it randomly.
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT PROFILE!
A guy comes into the hospital in a heavy coat complaing of chest pains.... These people have no honor, whatsoever. None.
Do you think they are miracle workers and can simply wave a wand and obtain information?
Just great - I live in the area and my wife and I are planning appointments in that time frame at Kaiser.
wait 'till hillary's president.
there'll be more of this. the aclu is worried now, but she'll instigate war powers domestically.
waco. foster. okc. 800.
ping...
Why are terrorists being tortured?
Seems credible to me!
I believe this past April two hospitals in NJ were scoped out. They were, Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center in New Brunswick, NJ & Newton Memorial Hosp. in Sussex County, NJ. On Easter Sunday unidentified Middle Eastern men posing as Dr.'s asked to be given a tour of each facility. Can't remember if their request was granted.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- KCRA 3 has obtained a memo that warns California hospitals they should consider themselves potential al-Qaida targets.
Earlier this month, the U.S. government learned that hospitals across the country could be terror targets, which is why the California Hospital Association sent a letter to hospitals statewide, warning them of the threat.
In the letter, the California Department of Homeland Security warns that al-Qaida may be planning attacks on hospitals in September or October of this year.

"it is urging hospital employees to be vigilant."
The fox guarding the hen house.
As the demographics of our country change for the worse, so does the pool of prospective employees from which employees are hired.
The problem is much deeper and can only be solved by changing our immigration laws. If not, the situation will get much worse before, if ever, gets better. When and if the American people wake up, it may be too late. The time is NOW. Wake up!
Exactly!
A Disaster Readiness Advisory was sent to all U.S. hospitals back in April.
In short, people have been posing as JCAHO inspectors trying to access hospital info (including physical plant layout) at several hospitals around the nation.
:-(
....that ain't fair!
