Swat team just blew up suitcases at Capitol Bldg.

[spanone]

Although they x-rayed the suitcases and determined there was nothing inside they blew em up anyway. What if they had been full of anthrax?
And if there was nothing inside, why the hell blow up some guys boxer shorts? Democracy in Action!!! This was a 'suspicious person' standing outside the Capitol building with two suitcases....Forrest Gump?

[RBHam]

1. So CNN could show something cool on TV, distract from Bolton...

Wow! Cool! They done blowed up real good! Yee-hah!

[swag]

4. blowed up real good!

[Bozita]

7. Yep, less time for Bolton on the evening news

[smirkymonkey]

2. Because, it will make for cool footage to accompany the

six o'clock news.

Besides, we're America. Blowing things up is what we do best.

[spanone]

9. Correct Sir...This will lead the network news not Bolton.

[EVDebs]

22. See Post #16

"You've got the yo-yo"

"I've got the string"

The CNN network is close enough to Ft Gordon - SigInt that 'trainees' doing whatever trainees do in PsyOps domestically can have that hands-on learning experience.

At least the CIA charter is supposed to not allow domestic ops, although the do it anyway. The military, since MLK's day has been playing domestically.

7 Days in May is passe. It needs updating.

[Dogmudgeon]

3. And it blowed up real good!

I never cease to be amazed at how much we have learned from the Canadians in just a few short years.

--p!

[Frederik]

5. Nothing better to do

I guess. They were promised an invasion of al-Qaeda maniacs wielding swords and all they get is an empty suitcase. Might as well make the best of it.

[spanone]

6. Boy, they took this guy down hard, tackled him from behind.

Looked like they could've broke his neck. I'm just sure he deserved it.

[RBHam]

8. Why not show the Bolton hearing, judy?

the story's over...all of your delaying and stammering and inane questioning of bob franken can't disguise the fact that the Mainstream media has jumped the shark to such an embarrassing degree that it has become a parody of itself...

"What's gonna be the lead story, Jim?"

"Don't know, haven't got my memo yet..."

[peekaloo]

10. Samsonite must be test marketing a new line.

[RBHam]

11. this is ridiculous...cnn LIVE coverage of SUITCASES

yep...

they're suitcases, judy...

thanks, bob...

12. I'm pretty sure they blow them up in a sealed container

when I worked at a bank years ago, a repair man forgot his tool case outside the doors (probably set it down to use his key to open the door). Well people thought it might be a bomb and the bomb squad was called in. As I recall, they put the case in a sealed container on the truck and blew up the tools in a contained manner.

[spanone]

15. Nope, they were sitting right on the walk. Live on CNN.

They blowed up real good as the other posts have indicated. They were not sealed.

[notadmblnd]

24. Then this was a staged event.

he whole intent of calling in SWAT and taking him down would be to prevent an explosion, they haul this guy away and complete it for him? Was there any property damage? This was totally staged. Anyone hear what happened to the man they drug away?

on edit: I just saw this posted in another thread and I'm even more convinced this is staged.


This photo provided by the Office of the House Majority Whip shows a unidentified man with two suitcases standing outside the Capitol, Monday, April 11, 2005. Later, police tackled and forcibly dragged away the man dressed in black and carrying the suitcases who had stationed himself in front of the west side of the U.S. Capitol. (AP Photo/Jessica Boulanger, Office of the House Majority Whip)

Tom Delay is the Majority leader.

My 12 yr old also pointed out to me that as soon as the cops drug him out of the camera, they stopped running with the guy. At the time I told my son that they were just fat old cops and they tire easily from running. Maybe my son is more perceptive than I thought.

[spanone]

33. They said they took him to the 'Capitol Jail'

they probably stripped him, made him masterbate while they took pictures of him with the jail guards. Strictly routine.

[RBHam]

13. DeLay will survive attack from GOP mods like Shays...

The first thing they do is put Shays on notice!

He's a moderate! NO! he only one by a few percent...this was expected from shays...


Phew! Thanks, CNN!

32. Interesting. Got a link for more info on that? (nt)

[EVDebs]

16. Google the article on "CNN and PsyOps" by Alexander Cockburn

During the 2000 election Army PsyOps was in the CNN newsroom. A Dutch reporter let this info out and only the webzine counterpunch picked up 'big time'.

M$M didn't report on this story so now, with a war on, you can expect that 'they're baaaaaak'.

[RBHam]

17. I don't think they ever left...

And CNN isn't the only one.

[EVDebs]

23. Operation Mockingbird, the CIAs media manipulation program

outted in the '70s Church and Pike commission hearings ... Is this what you are referring to ? Or "CIA and The Media" by Carl Bernstein from Oct. 1977 ? There's a story that needs updating.

[RBHam]

28. I mean, ever since 1946 when truman passed the CIA act...

America has been essentially under the control of a secret government ever since.

19. Whenever there's a problem for Bushie in Hearings some incident

occurs. I wish I could remember them all....sigh. Just to get the lead on the news. If Bolton is voted in or out, the American people will never know. It will be a blip on the scroll and another so called "terrorist incident" will take the lead.

Who knows...the way these folks operate maybe it was another warning to the Hill not to go against the BFEE...:shrug:

20. Christ, John Fund spreading Liberal Conspiracy theory...

regarding Tom delay's scumbagitis...

George Soros is Satan!

Taking a day off from snorting his coke and beating his wife.

[Zynx]

21. Eh, typical procedure. No big deal.

Police blow up suspicious packages. *shrugs*

[spanone]

34. They normally put them in contaiment, THEN blow them up.

These were blown up live on CNN. Sittin' right there on the capitol steps. How's that for entertainment.?

[Zynx]

35. Guess you haven't seen a lot of bomb squad

I remember at least a dozen others all over the country that have been blown up right where they were.

[spanone]

36. Guess not. Wanna offer a few dates, times, CNN was there? C'mon now share

A lot of bomb squad????????? I'll let you off easy, how about a half dozen

[Solly Mack]

25. Ooo...Drama!

What's playing next? What's playing next?

[Maine-ah]

27. hm,. I wonder if he had already planted the "bombs"

already and this is a decoy or something. (yeah, I'm bored today):tinfoilhat:

[mmonk]

29. think suitcases and dirty bombs

Have they got you yet?

[0007]

31. Couldn't the suitcases been contained by robots and placed in

an explosion proof box? Did the police just blow up evidence to perhaps set this man free? Or is he a terrorist now?
