MSNBC | 9/17/01

[Catie]

The Dept. of Justice (D.C.) has been evacuated. No further info. available.

sheesh

[Oldeconomybuyer]

CNN reports same. No details.

[pubmom]

PRAY!

[Betty Jo]

You beat me to it!

Perhaps this time it will be biologicals!

Hopefully its a hoax!

[kassie]

Keep us posted.

[monocle]

Another target for Marty Meehan.

It's very easy to call in a fake bomb threat. We'll probably have these every day for a while.

[Catie]

Per Ted Olson to reporter, "it's a bomb threat."

"Perhaps this time it will be biologicals!"

I just saw Ollie North on Fox. He said that the terrorists have already taken their best shot and that we should not expect anything more serious than what has already occurred. He said that if they had more serious weapons, they'd have already used them. However, he said that 'truck,' (ANFO) fertlizer/fuel oil, bombs was still a possibility. (Isolated incidents, at best). He said we are about to see the most sophisticated military operation ever undertaken.

It's very easy to call in a fake bomb threat. We'll probably have these every day for a while.

The news from New York this morning is that it will now be a felony to call in a fake bomb threat.

I am so damned naive. I never dreamed it was only a misdemeanor up til now. Sheesh.

[randog]

My first thought, too. It's times like these that bring out the best and worst in people.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Everyone plz. keep cool. They are obviously playing some psy war head games with us (that's what terrorists do). We are going to strike back at them and I mean strike in a phenominal way. Help is on the way. Justice is in the pipeline!

[CheneyChick]

Fox News just now reporting it.... Rita Cosby has no more info.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Reuters via FNC is the source of this report. No details from Rita Cosby. Two more arrests (total of 4) and in custody as material witnesses.

[Steve_Seattle]

I agree that the terrorists at this moment are probably on the move and in a defensive, regrouping mode. We haven't heard the last of them, but I don't expect anything major for awhile. But I expect hoaxed bomb threats somewhere in the country virtually every day for the next few weeks.

[Peach]

Although I believe there will be other terrorist attacks against the United States, IMHO they will not be biological in nature. I think if they had them, they would have used them already.

[riri]

I don´t agree with Ollie´s assessment. This plan has been in the making for years. It wouldn´t take years to plan a couple of highjackings. It would however, take years to plant enough sleepers to really wreak havoc, smuggle in enough bios, etc. I believe we have only witnessed step one.

However, I pray he is correct.

[Baloo-Myers]

I work RIGHT NEXT DOOR to DOJ in DC (the IRS building). THey tell us nothing here, and I have a little tv at my desk, but obviously no cable. I can't find it on any of the channels I can get here. Does anyone know ANYTHING about why justice has been evacuated?

[Geezerette]

Thanks for Ollie's statement! I really miss Ollie North ... he hasn't been on any of our local stations for about a year now, as far as I know.

Go Ollie!!!
