Anchorage, Alaska - It was 16 months ago, near Fort Greely, Alaska, when six students gathered to protest the missile site. What they didn't know was that the government listed them as a potential terrorist threat.
The students from Vanier Catholic Secondary School and their chaperones were placed on a threat-index list by the U.S. Department of Defense. The secret 400-page document was leaked to NBC News and lists 1,500 suspicious incidents over a 10-month period.
Armed with placards and slogans, the students made the trip to Delta Junction in September 2004 to protest the deployment of interceptor missiles at Fort Greely. Students were surprised to hear they were on the list.
But the threat was eventually discounted because it was determined to be a “peaceful protest.”
All right. You disgust me too.
Anyone who uses fear to advance a political agenda is a terrorist. Sadly that includes many on this forum. Authentic conservatives are in short supply these days.
Can you point me to the part that says they are removed from the list?
Hey buddy, there's a war on. And, it started when we got attacked. I guess you just hate the efforts we make in the interest of winning.
