Terroist may be targeting Arizone Nuke Pwr plant

[muckmaw]

WASHINGTON (AP)-Terrorists may have targeted the Palo Verde nuclear power
plant, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham said Thursday.
  Abraham told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee during a hearing
that he couldn't go into details about intelligence reports concerning the
plant, the nation's largest commercial nuclear power facility. But in response
to a question by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., he acknowledged there were
indications that it might have become a target for terrorist.
  "Actions are being taken by all the appropriate agencies to address the
concerns that have been raised," Abraham said.
  Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano Tuesday sent National Guard troops to provide
additional security at the plant, part of Pinnacle West (PNW).

IMO this is herd control from the top. As long as we are in fear, then whatever we do overseas is justified.


With terms like 'may' 'might' and 'concerns' regarding a threat, they don't sound too convinced.

Personally, I think its Tom 'the sky is falling' Ridge's play to keep us behind what the troops are doing.


I most certainly hope I'm not proven wrong.
