You said -- "I don't know what your objection to the article is."

Here's my objection -- it does *not exist* at that web site. That's what the problem is!

Take a look at this first paragraph. Let's just look at the byline -- for example --

MT. FREEDOM, NJ - September 29, 2006 -- It may sound like a scenario from a super-secret nuclear contingency plan, but a silent killer has already eliminated a population equivalent to that of America's 60 largest cities.

I don't find that date (for the article) or the city that it was from. This is an indication that it is from *somewhere else* than that web site -- BUT -- it is indicating (by means of the referenced link), that it is from that web site. I don't see that it is.

I want the exact reference and the exact location. I don't find it. Who is the "author". I don't see it. I see that it references the web site, so maybe someone would think that it's authored by the web site owner -- BUT -- (once again), it's *not even on the web site* itself.

That's the problem...

P.S. -- AND..., I don't see that the original poster has responded or answered to clear up the issue. I thought that this was a "hit and run" post -- and it appears to be so.

I don't find this article at this web site. There is some *general information* that matches the "idea" of the article -- BUT -- *not* the article. If they are referencing this, I want to find the original source and this web site appears to *not* be the source for what was referenced and posted here on Free Republic. I would expect that *at least* we can reference *where* something came from. This appears to be an article from "somewhere else" -- but it's not from this web site, even if the "ideas" are similar.

P.S. -- The original author is not answering so it appears (at least to me) to be a "hit and run" post, and they just signed up today. Perhaps they don't know how to post things at Free Republic. Or, perhaps they are stirring the pot, or giving some misleading or false information. I don't know what it is. I just want to find the original source for the *exact quoted article* as given here.
