Wrong; I am closely associated with the workings of Law Enforcement. Withholding information is routinely done, every day; I know, because Law Enforcement dispatches that I see and hear are withheld, for the very reasons I just cited.
Your reality is obviously a fictional account.
When you enter Black Helicopter territory, we have left reality far behind us...
You simply have no idea what you are talking about. I've had the police try to keep me quiet when kids screwing around shot my car. Seems they didn't like their phones ringing off the hook with reporters wanting to know about the "sniper" incident.
You should have seen their faces when I informed them my wife was a J-school student, and who do they think told the reporters in the first place.
Just FYI, on 9/11 they DID shut off the cameras for the people jumping out of the buildings. They NEVER showed them hitting the ground. On the first day, they were reporting "2 confirmed dead", when obviously it had to be MUCH higher than that. Look at the TOTAL lack of coverage of the areas in Mississippi... They are staying around the hard rock hotel, and thats it. Where are the helicopters flying overhead along the entire coastline? Where are pictures of Slidell? There is DEFINETLY a media black out of sorts. I mean, look at the evacuation of the people from the Superdome... Yesterday it was reported that this was happening, and the threads were removed because the media "backed off" the claim. Yet, somehow, we wake up to find they are moving 25,000 people to the Astrodome. There definitely is a total lack of solid communication occurring, be it on purpose, or just because the lines of communication are down. I do find it hard to believe though that we cannot get ANY solid information, yet at the same time the Army Corp of Engineers can flat bed trucks with jersey walls on the back of them into uptown New Orleans, and have helos lift them off the back of the trucks and place them in the hole in the levee...
I mean, you get numerous reports of looting and all sorts of horrid events going on in what must be one of the worst hell holes on earth at the moment, yet we are told only 100 people died when a tidal surge went in at least 1/4 of a mile and leveled ENTIRE towns. I hardly buy it. Call me a nut, a wacko, a right-wing extremist, but I DEFINETLY feel we are not being given the entire story here, as stated before, be it as complex as some concoction to conceal the truth and buy time, or as simple as the fact that communication lines are down. But to believe the media is some "reliable" source of information... I just cannot do that. If that were the case, why should people west of the east coast have even bothered voting in the 2000 election considering the media CALLED it for Gore....?
No thanks, Ill go on being a kook.

George W Bush: You seem to think that anonymously posting a hearsay account is more reliable than our vulturous national media. . . . When you enter Black Helicopter territory, we have left reality far behind us...
