Anyone hear the LA related terror blurb on CNN minutes ago?

[Spoon]

It was one of those "Just In" things. Soemthing about people in Los Angeles being rounded up on non-terror related charges, just to "get them off the street". Something else about unnamed sources saying "we're running against a ticking clock"., "biggest investigation ever". Kinda ominous.

2. No i missed it

but I do hope they are going on solid evidence and that this is not a political witch hunt..

3. California is an interesting LIHOP target

"Giuliani-ize" the GropenFuhrer and send him out on the campaign trail for Chimpy...

Nah, I haven't been reading DU too much. :)

4. well ticking clock

is ominous.

Are there any bowl games in LA coming up? Rose Bowl in Pasadena?

My nightmare has always been a terrorist group getting their hands on a small russian backpack nuke on the black market and using it. It wouldn't be strong enough to destroy a whole city, but it could pretty much obliterate anything within a half mile- mile radius.
