Hey,
WASHINGTON, July 11 — It reads like a tally of terrorist targets that a child might have written: Old MacDonald’s Petting Zoo, the Amish Country Popcorn factory, the Mule Day Parade, the Sweetwater Flea Market and an unspecified “Beach at End of a Street.”
But the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security, in a report released Tuesday, found that the list was not child’s play: all these “unusual or out-of-place” sites “whose criticality is not readily apparent” are inexplicably included in the federal antiterrorism database.
The National Asset Database, as it is known, is so flawed, the inspector general found, that as of January, Indiana, with 8,591 potential terrorist targets, had 50 percent more listed sites than New York (5,687) and more than twice as many as California (3,212), ranking the state the most target-rich place in the nation....

Date: 2006-07-12 07:27 pm (UTC)We don't even have significant national parks or memorials; just a butt-kissing Governor (Bush II's fmr. Director of the Office of Management and Budget) and 1 powerful Republican Senator (Lugar).
In reality, probably the only "real" terror target in Indiana is the Newport Chemical Facility. Speaking of -- I just got something from the US Army Materials Agency stating that a whopping 15% of the VX stockpile has been destroyed.
I am gonna forward that link to all my colleagues cause I hadn't seen it yet. Thanks!!!

Oh dear. I am so sorry.
We've at least had some money thrown at our local port security, but only because Patty Murray is skilled at working with that old batshit, Ted Stevens.
