Baltimore: Gov. Ehrlich (R) has known about threat for 3-5 days

[displacedtexan]

Local ABC News (Channel 2) reports.

Supposedly, materials to make bombs are coming in through the port.

MTA police guy says they're stopping trucks.

Gov (R) is going about his business.

Edited to add: Take Hanover St to avoid the tunnel delays. Hear that, terrorists? ABC just gave you your alternate route.

Too weird.

1. bit like Katrina

maybe they belong to the Gov as he is going to blow up something

2. 3 to 5 days? Isn't this the same script they used in NY?

You'd think they could get some new material by now.

3. Remember what Deepthroat said...

"These are not very smart men."

4. Fitzgerald isn't ready to hand down indictments yet

Timing is a bit off.

5. No doubt materials suitable for bomb making move through the port

This seems likely to be another true but purposefully misleading statement.

I think a real terrorist would simply buy stuff off the shelf here in the states.

7. Didn't Tom Clancy write about that already?

Maybe "Sum of All Fears". One of those books had the bomb coming through Port of Baltimore.

Hmmmmm, he had a plane going into a building, too.

10. I think that one was a nuke at a ball game. I could be wrong I've read

way too much of that genre.

13. That's correct

They somehow got a nuclear warhead inside a vending machine under the football stadium. And when the right button was pushed.... :nuke:

6. and its not corroborated and its not AQ, but it is a militant Islamic

group, don't forget that....

:eyes:

8. wonder if it begins now.....

just in time to pre-empt the indictments. I guess I live far enough away from Baltimore.....

[displacedtexan]

9. It's over.

ABC News just reported.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

[Mutley]

11. Hanover St makes the least amount of sense.

It could work but you have to go THROUGH the city, through downtown.

And Erhlich is an asshole. No one likes him around here anymore.

[zbdent]

12. Did he notify his family?

like the New York officials?

[distantearlywarning]

14. So that means that rich people in Baltimore have known for at least 6?
