I'm So Shocked... NOT!School Terror Turns Out To Be A Scam!

I hate being right!

Especially when it's so obvious that educational scholars in Iraq would obviously use the internet to research American schools in anticipation of a post-Saddam educational opportunity. (Scroll Down This Page)

U.S. Officials Say No Terror Threat Linked to Disk With School Data

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal officials said Friday there is no terrorist connection to a computer disk found in Iraq that contained information about schools in six states.

The disk was made by an unidentified Iraqi man who was doing research and had no connections to al-Qaida or the Iraqi insurgents battling U.S. forces, according to the FBI. The man did have links to the Baath Party that ruled Iraq under Saddam Hussein, but that's true of many former government officials and community leaders.

Some material on the disk appeared to be randomly downloaded from a publicly accessible Education Department Web site and included such things as manuals on workplace safety, crisis management studies, student codes of conduct and building security diagrams. It also contained an Education Department report on school crisis planning that was published in May 2003.

"It's not about schools, it's about policy," said FBI Agent William Evanina, spokesman for the FBI field office in Newark, N.J. "There's no terrorism threat to these schools."

The San Diego school system sought to reassure parents through a letter sent to homes Friday.

"It is very important that you know there is no specific threat to our schools and students here in San Diego," the letter said.

Though the FBI contacts with local officials occurred shortly after the attack by Chechen rebels on a school in Russia that killed more than 330 people, officials say the two events are not connected.

The FBI and Homeland Security Department this week also sent to state and local officials a lengthy analysis of the Russian attacks with a long list of school security recommendations. LINK

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Media Hairdos have spent the entire day scaring parents, teachers, and school administrators who know in their hearts that there is absolutely no way to stop the Hell Bent For Leather Timothy McVeighs or the Columbine Trenchcoat Mafia Homegrowns...

Much less America's beloved TV Terrorists (Middle Eastern Looking Men).

How many grandparents suffered heart attacks today because of this, George W.?

It is SO OBVIOUS that BushCo wants to shut down voting in our public schools.

Making polling places harder to find or even forcing citizens to vote in churches (which some despise), police stations (where some fear being arrested), or random office buildings with less than ideal access.

I'm sick to death of being betrayed by George W. Terrorist and his minions!

Sigh.

I haven't felt this betrayed since that Nazi, Rolf, blew the whistle in the cemetery!
