My advice to the cops: torture them until the cows come home.

Another prime example of Tabloid TV news - get eveyone worked up & then check the facts. We need more live police chases & hostage taking live on TV. "Fair & Balanced" my foot - just rushing to be the first with a story - why worry about the "facts".

NYC wide open. What would you suggest? Moats? Guard towers? Razor wire?

Just heard from a friend in NY-false alarm, they were just a couple of drunks!!!

I agree with you completely. This jumoing the gun is ridiculous. It only feeds the loons who insist that the first reports are more accurate than the ones that emerge once an actual investigation is done.

Boy, you really DO sound lonesome.

these guys should be fined for the full amount of the officer's timeThe Brits have a specific law against wasting police time. We need to make it a second or third degree misdomeanor, with a stiff fine, in the thousands.

Haven't heard that terminology yet, but just switched to Fox 5. Reporters say the men are in custody. Apparently there are "suspicious packages" being searched for. Helicopters flying at low altitude to inspect.Damnit! I was soooo hoping to see them "detained" on the bridge... At least until it blew up!

The fact is the brige is still closed. Drunks is the most laughable stories yet. Will we see pictures of these guys with their names and history?
To: Pharmboy
Just checked your NBC feed link. Now it is a Drunken Trio. No more Arabic National.

Muslim Arab drunks on the Willy B. at that hour? More here than meets the eye.

Drunk Muslims.
Oh, the irony.

"Fair & Balanced" my foot - just rushing to be the first with a story - why worry about the "facts".Or...another example of keeping the lid on the stupid attempts of Iraqi/Muslim/Al-Qaeda sympathizers attempting to terrorize the population and disrupt the economy. You have to admit that shutting down the Williamsburg Bridge is a bit more newsworthy than a car-chase in LA.

...they're just helpful members of the Religion of Peace... that are terrorists. They were attempting to install yet another toll booth for Hissonor(sp?).

NYC wide open. What would you suggest? Moats? Guard towers? Razor wire?It IS tempting... ;0)

confirmed that the 3 men are middle eastern, on the bridge for no known reason ... I know that bridge. It's in my old neighborhood. There is a pedestrian walkway. Anyone in either neighborhood on either side (lower east side of Manhattan, Williamsburg Brooklyn) can walk on it. Middle easteners or anybody else walking on it are not suspicious. Anybody can, without giving a reason.
Going down on ropes when the cops get close is suspicious.
What exactly is going on?
It's a reigion of peace, right?
