God help Freeport. I'm seeing a pattern here:

1. Three people being held in Florida.
2. Radioactive ship found in New York.
3. This in Texas.

What's in common with all three?

1. Jeb Bush is governor of Florida.
2. GW Bush was in New York at the time.
3. The Bush family's home state is Texas.

The name, "Bush", is connected with each target.

Of course, this could be a coincidence, this explosion in Texas. My gut tells me it's not. But Bush is motivated to keep the economy strong. Terrorist panic would cause a slump, especially with Greenspan's 'help'. Don't be surprised if this is all white-washed.

It's just a normal chemical plant blowup. You have any stats on chemical plant blowups?
