REPORT ON THE DEMS AND DIE!

Well, now the FBI has said that there have been uncomfirmed reports that media vehicles might be targetted by terrorists at the Democrat's convention next week. The following is from a Reuters article at their website:

"The FBI has received unconfirmed information that a domestic group is planning to disrupt the Democratic National Convention by attacking media vehicles with explosives or incendiary devices," the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Boston field office said in a statement.

Domestic??? Why would domestic terrorists want to harm the media? For crying out loud, the media is the only chance we have of getting the truth out to people on a large and effective scale. Granted, the media hasn't been that great at reporting the truth since 911, but... :confused: Could it be that this domestic terrorist group might want to teach the media a lesson? Or perhaps attack Fox News?

Well, I doubt that. What I don't doubt is that the FBI which is run by the USGov which is run by the Reps, is making this announcement now because they are trying to distract from any successful PR the Dems might do at their convention. If this were not the case, why hasn't the FBI made a big deal out of the last time domestic terrorists got in trouble in the US? This was covered minimally by local news organizations in Texas and by the rare odd website, like TheMemoryHole.Org. Here's a quote from TMH's coverage of the domestic terrorists:

In May 2003, white supremacists in Texas were caught with a sodium cyanide bomb, other bombs, illegal weapons, hate literature, fake I.D., and chemicals, including hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. In mid-November, three people pleaded guilty to related charges, while seized documents indicate that there are other co-conspirators at large. The feds have served "hundreds of subpoenas across the country," and the plot has been included in the President's daily intelligence briefings.

So, is it these guys who are out to stop coverage of the Dems? Or is it simply a scare tactic to distract news people from covering the Dems in hopes they'll make the story about themselves? (Which do YOU think will happen?)

Either could be true...

Group May Attack Media at Democrats Convention: FBI

Fri Jul 23, 2004 11:42 AM ET

BOSTON (Reuters) - The FBI said on Friday it was investigating "unconfirmed information" of a possible attack on media vehicles during the Democratic National Convention, which begins on Monday in Boston.

"The FBI has received unconfirmed information that a domestic group is planning to disrupt the Democratic National Convention by attacking media vehicles with explosives or incendiary devices," the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Boston field office said in a statement.

The FBI said members of the Boston Joint Terrorism Task Force were investigating, and that it would provide more details if there is "any credible information."

A spokeswoman for the Boston FBI told Reuters that the bureau had notified media organizations of the probe because they were potential targets.

Boston police declined immediate comment.

U.S. officials have said security will be unprecedented for the DNC, the first major U.S. political convention since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.

Organizers say some 15,000 media representatives are expected in Boston to cover the convention, where Sen. John Kerry is expected to be nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate.
