FBI searches for six men who had nuclear, pipeline information

WASHINGTON — As the nation again stands on high alert, the FBI is searching for six men stopped by police in the Midwest last weekend but released — even though they possessed photographs and descriptions of a nuclear power plant in Florida and the Trans-Alaska pipeline, a senior law enforcement official said Tuesday.

The Federal Aviation Administration imposed new flight restrictions around nuclear plants nationwide Tuesday, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission advised the nation's 103 nuclear plants late Monday to fortify security.

The FAA temporarily banned all flights near New York's Yankee Stadium, where President Bush stood before a huge crowd at a World Series game Tuesday night and — wearing a New York City Fire Department jacket — tossed the ceremonial first pitch.

"It helps to keep the fabric of our country strong," said spokesman Ari Fleischer.

So you think we're pretty much on our own, eh?

Those people that you saw dangling or jumping out the windows of the World Trade Center learned this the hard way. Any illusions they had about "law enforcement" vanished in a hurry.

not one government men has been fired in 10 years

Heh, right. With 600,000 people, we would be ripe for takeover from somebody if we went independent. As it is, we have the US military to back us up, including an infantry brigade and air bases at elmendorf and eilson. No thanks, we'll stay part of the good old USA. And we'll get around to ANWR, soon enough.

tell government just to watch FR for the news

This means that Flight 93 was headed towards the 3 mile Island. Beamer and friends saved thousands of lives in NY area.

The passengers on Flight 93 did save thousands of lives, but not from a hit on Three Mile Island. They were headed south (probably visually following the PA Turnpike) towards Maryland/DC. TMI is on the outskirts of Harrisburg, much farther (about 180 miles) north and east of the Somerset PA crash site.

I think it is unrealistic to expect them to "protect". The situation results in a "react" mode at best. No black mark against law enforcement. It is the nature of this beast.

Unfortunatley, 8 years of liberals at the helm has greatly weakened our FBI. Liberals are the reason for our unpreparedness. Liberals are usually to blame.

Maybe they were lost and needed directions.

"Could you please tell me which way to turn so I can bomb this reactor and poke holes in this pipeline. Thank you, beddy much."

what's WRONG with these guys?

For starters, they won't hire someone with an IQ of 125 or higher, so there's no one around to say, let's think about this for a moment.
