Something that a friend sent in an email...and very troubling. I know nothing about the web site as a source, but was told that this backed up Rupert's 54 page speech at the Commonwealth Club in August (which I haven't yet read)which stated that the very same kind of drill was conducted ON 9-11...if I understand it right. Anybody who knows more about this care to comment?

http://www.sianews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1971"35 Days Till Disaster: Is an Election Day Faux-Terror Event All But CERTain?
Mark Erwin | October 4 2004
On Tuesday, September 28th, a new federally-funded, FEMA-directed citizen training program began in my town called CERT. CERT stands for "Community Emergency Response Team.”
A quick internet search reveals that my town isn't the only one participating. Nearly every town in America has its own CERT program, it would appear.
My neighbor's teenage son attended CERT’s initial orientation meeting and later showed me the equipment and materials he was given.
He received free of charge a backpack containing hundreds of dollars worth of gear, including a hard hat, reflective garb for checkpoint/traffic-control duty, a high beam flashlight, eye guards, etc.
In the near future, he said, he’ll also be given (again, free of charge) a special radio over which he can tap into the county's emergency communications net.
Then, he showed me his 300 page CERT training manual along with his training schedule for upcoming weeks.
The CERT training program is intensive. It’s scheduled to last for only a little over a month.
In the short span of just 35 days, CERT trainees will learn the following...
1) Disaster preparedness
2) Disaster fire safety
3) Disaster medical operations
4) Light search and rescue
5) CERT Organization
6) Disaster psychology
But what really caught my eye were the last two items on CERT's training schedule:
On Tuesday, October 25th, CERT trainees will receive training on "Terrorism and CERT.”
Then, exactly one week later, CERT’s training program will conclude with a "Disaster Simulation & Examination".
This final day for the CERT training program, the day when CERT will climax with a "disaster simulation," is none other than Election Day!
Is this mere coincidence? I can't believe that it is. CERT is a nationwide FEMA-sponsored citizen training program, after all. I assume, in every town and hamlet, fledgling CERT teams are following this exact same training schedule. And that means a nationwide "disaster simulation" is scheduled for all of them come Election Day!...cont'd
