blzrul Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Ware ye evildoers who would do harm to the US, particularly important sites as documented in the following "...vulnerable critical infrastructure and key resources included an insect zoo, a bourbon festival, a bean fest and a kangaroo conservation center. They represent examples of key assets identified in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, and Maryland." Yes, that's our government at work. The Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building (people WORK there) and other obvious targets are unprotected. Maybe they're just adequately funded? I don't know. The area around Ground Zero still feels like a ghost town, I cannot imagine what DHS is thinking (or not). Link Maybe there's another secret list? I'd love to think that.

In a free society that's pretty much everywhere - a fact shown by this list. It's going to be virtually impossible to stop terrorism by killing people or spending ridiculous amounts of money to harden targets that are pretty much "unhardenable."

Seriously, America. Grow a pair.

Do you think there's a coincidence that the only building that's been under private construction control is already taking tenants, with a beautiful view of a hole in the ground?
