Re- Stamford/Greenwich
Several months ago,the Red Cross was hiring for post-disaster relief workers ( the memo is posted somewhere back in TM)
They listed the cities that would need the help. Some were:
Greenwich/Stamford area
Philadelphia
Richmond
San Diego
a city in Hawaii (I forget which one)
Ft. Myers, Florida
Houston
etc. etc.
The cities tallied with areas of jihadi interests.
Stamford was developed in the 50's as an economic center to back up NYC in case of a nuclear attack from Russia.
Greenwich- right next to Stamford- is an extremely wealthy Fairfield County community. They could certainly afford to hire ANY kind of disaster relief that they might need.
There would be NO reason for Greenwich to need emergency workers over any other city in Connecticut.
It has seemed to me that the gov. has a pretty good idea of which areas are facing AQ attacks and has been trying to prepare for them. (quietly)
I did not know that, even though I'm quite familiar with the the Greenwich/Stamford area. Greenwich was also on the short list to become the headquarters for the United Nations, but the local gentry successfully lobbied against the plan. (If I recall correctly, the Bush family who lived in the Greenwich area at the time, was included among the gentry.)
Hi jerseygirl. If I were in charge of the Red Cross, I would want to boost disaster relief staff in cities close to but yet far enough away from alleged target communities at least as far as WMD attacks.
