.........and children under 18 years of age aren't supposed to be able to purchase cigarettes, or those under 21 can't drink or buy alcohol........

Come on Brian, isn't there enough legitimate news to cover without going into cloak and dagger modes.....

Give me a break.......

September 8, 2006

Bomb making material!!! Guess who is paying for it....YOUR TAX DOLLARS.....

See federal case in Federal Court House in New Orleans, LA closed section......LOVOI vs. ALITALIA AIRLINES, et al.......after 9/11 an Executive Order was put out by President George W. Bush who said "we will not do business with terrorist and those who do business with terrorist countries." Has he stuck by his order and the funny part.......federal judges don't care what he said either........It is YOUR TAX DOLLARS that are paying for the terrorist and their weapons, etc. through FEDERAL GRANT MONEY....THE OFFICE OF FEDERAL CONTRACT COMPLAINCE PROGRAMS who oversees these issues is failing their jobs and so is HOMELAND SECURITY........Domestic and International air carriers either passenger or cargo receive federal grants from the U. S. GOvernment. THey travel to terrorist countries everyday and pay for services and wages. This revenue that they acquire comes from YOUR TAX DOLLARS----the Federal Grants. When this information was brought to the federal judges attention she ignored it and so did all of the government depts.

WHY put out an Executive Order if no one is going to honor it.

Judicial Complaints were filed...the Judiciary Hearing Committee IGNORES the complaints. George W. Bush has copies of the complaints and ignores it.................WELCOME TO THE BANANA REPUBLIC!!!!!

Are you serious? Is this what journalism has degraded itself to. Conjuring up "potential terror threats"? I didn't know ABC was on the Bush administration's payroll. Bunch of lapdogs!!

Wow...you guys are idiots! Why don't you just call the terrorists and tell them how your report went. Here's a headline...."ABC GIVES TERROIST ATTACK PLANS" Nice work ABC....great network.

This doesn't surprise me. The authorities let homeless people sleep in the park and lay in the streets around K street (CVS and other supply trucks come in and park for hours)...around MacPherson Square...in front and a block away from the White House, no one checks and there is not enough security to stop a quick hit - like running a truck fast through the park to the White House...We are no where near ready!!

NICE WORK ABC. SOMEONE HAS TO WATCHDOG THE THE EMPTY LEGISLATION COMING OUT OF WASHINGTON, AS WELL AS, THE LEGISALTION BEING SHELVED WHICH WAS EAR-MARKED FOR U.S. PROTECTION. CONGRESS TALKS FROM BOTH SIDES OF ITS MOUTH.

Thanks Brian. It's not like the govenment and law officals have enough things to worry about and you're going to show the terrorist our weak points. Why don't you tell the police? We don't need to know this! Who is paying your salary? It needs to be spent on something worth while. I'm embarrassed to know you are an American reporter.

Wake up call? To purchase fertilizer? Go back to reporting on drunk celebs if this is what you call news.

Bri', you da man, man!
We need to know this so we can jump our reps all up in there.
It's not enough that they know this is happening; they need to know that WE know, too, and that, if WE know, they won't get away with knowing and hoping it will go away.
You da man, man!

Is this news? Why don't you put up a flag, "Hay Bad Guys, This Is How You Do It"

Bri', you da man, man!
We need to know this so we can jump our reps all up in there.
It's not enough that they know this is happening; they need to know that WE know, too, and that, if WE know, it may come back to haunt them.
You da man, man!

I agree. It seems a little too much like yellow journalism. Unfortunately though, that is what Americans respond to in the news. Gone are the days when Americans come home from work to engage in a critical review of the world's events. Between the 10-hour days at work, family obligations, financial concerns, long commutes, and a complete absence of an education system that encourages individuals to take responsibility for understanding the underlying issues in the world today (remember the MSNBC poll where not even half of Americans could find LA and Iraq on a map), the vast majority of Americans do not have the time or energy to “tune in” for an hour to take command of the issues of the day. In fact, I believe that the majority of Americans who do watch the news do so for the entertainment value. So, in line with these observations, Brian Ross's “scenario development” is of value. It entertains Americans and, in some instances, it will lead Americans to engage in conversations at work and school about one of the critical issues we face as a nation: national security. I imagine that many Americans then will express anger and belief to their friends and family. But, will they seize upon those emotions and take the responsibility to engage themselves in the decision-making process that establishes our policies and laws pertaining to them? If history is any indication, I imagine that they won't - they will instead blame the delegated leaders that made those decisions on their behalf and look to a new Congress (whether Republican or Democrat) to do a better job. I only hope that we will not “become ignorant and degenerate into a
populace that (is) incapable of exercising (our) sovereignty,” as James Monroe so wonderfully put it.

LOTS of things can be used to make explosives. Care to guess how many gallons of gasoline or LP are even closer to the White House than your fertilizer? As John Stossel would say . . "Gimme a break." Why do journalists feel compelled to create paranoia over things completely uncontrollable. Shouldn't it be obvious by now that no amount of chest pounding legislation can protect us 100% of the time . . STOP TRYING GET GET MORE USELESS LAWS PASSED BY DRUMMING UP DRAMA.

So....what you're basically doing is showing the wackos of the world how to attack/bomb us? Hey, great job.

Edith, someone could rob your house tonight. Will you be ready? Where's your security? We cannot and never will be ready for every act of violence against the US. If you want to stop a pot of water from boiling, you don't insulate it from the heat. You turn off the gas.

..so should we be worried that a terrorist might blow up a storage shed a few miles from the White House and the Capital Building? ...this is investigative reporting? Gimme a break, Brian.

You should have ponied up and tried moving the "bomb" making supplies with in a half mile of the white house. Then Brian Ross could have given his full investigative report from behind bars.

You obviously are missing the point about this report. This shows that if ABC can purchase bomb material without questions, then terrorists already know about this and who knows if they already haven't done so.

Awesome, this proves that the Bush Administration's talke that they have made our Country so much safer since 911 is political b.s. God help us all!

Journalism at it's finest. What a joke. Next time ABC, please try to think of safer ways to sell your news stories.

i agree w/ jk WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU AND YOUR TEAM, BRIAN? I am all about justice, investigations, etc. but not just now but in the past as well, some of your "trick" research's is an open call to bad guys giving them ideas they may never otherwise have had. Pandora's box is open. I know you are trying to prove a point, but at who's expense? It's almost a Catch 22

I wonder - if someone conspired to place a half ton of explosives in the basement of the ABC News building, and then broadcast it on National TV, would ABC thing that was helping ABC with its own security?

If ABC had any jounalistic ethics whatsoever, at the point where they found they could potentially purchase explosive without ID, then that should have been immediately reported to the authorities. Instead ABC conspired to conjure up a threat against our government.

All involved parties to this should be immediately arrested and tried on illegal purchase of explosives with intent to publicly expose and politcize national security deficiencies, and aid terrorist organizations plots to do damage to America.

Shame on ABC. First you try to re-write history for the benefit of the Democrats. Now this.

Not that I'm defending dc or the bush security agenda, but they stop intrusions on the white house all the time...

Back to the pointless article, so you were able to get some ingredients for a possible bomb within miles of the whitehouse? So what? Miles from the white house puts you in virginia or maryland... Try getting it to the white house, I'm sure you'll have a little more trouble.

Osama, are you reading this crap? Great job informing Terrorists of the ease of mounting a attack. Brian, you so called journalist, you belong on the View.

So?? I dont get the point. Could the blast from the explosives destroy the whitehouse from that distance away? Try sneeking a nuclear missle into the same storage shed, then you will get my attention. So the options were you blow up a storage shed or fertilize the grass? If you were white, black, or asian there was probably no suspition of any wrong doing . Now try getting a few Arab men from pakistan between the ages of 18 and 40 and pulling the same stunt. That would really test the new measures. If that got through then we would have a real problem

This probably shows that much more has to be done within the country and not somewhere far away.
How come people in the U.S. are so blind to see what is going on in their bakcyard but try to spread democracy in countries a good fifty percent can't show ona map?
Here in RUssian where i'm temporary staying the U.S. seems obsessed with "helping people" but their own.

Above, Steve said maybe ABC is on the Bush payroll. Well, maybe he's right, if they can't give a true version of the 911 Path. Reportedly, they have altered things to suit themselves. Going to "edit until the last minute" etc. What's wrong with using what you KNOW to be true and not making it up ??

Would'nt your crew have felt really stupid if the material would have ignited??? O yea, that only happens with guns!

You wonder why the terrorists side with the liberals. They basically do the planning for them. Way to go ABC, did you give the terrorists the address of storage facility and also give then a list of supplies and phone numbers of where to get it.

The Democrats probably put ABC to this after the who temper tantrum about the facts (the biggest enemy to democrats) in ABC's miniseries. Does any one else wonder why president AKMEDENJADONMFODFOFGHLLADOFj;fgg
aoWAKOJIHADWAKO seems to use liberal ideas to put down AMERICA? MAYBEE instead of planning terrorist attacks ABC could do a story on that........yeah right.

It seems that reporters and news teams are interested in finding loop holes in our system, however, it is ludicrous to advertise them. Let's not put anymore ideas out there shall we!

This has to be one of the worst premises for a news story that I have seen. These clowns, as I dare not use the word "reporter" because it has the connotation that actual news will be dispersed, ought to be fired. If there is nothing to report as news, maybe you take the day off, not create your own fertilizer...

Gimme a break! You think the "bad guys" of this world didn't already know this? It's guys like Brian who put pressure on the Gov't to make changes.

Wow! You can buy fertilizer in D.C.? With all the bull shoveled on the Hill, I wouldn't think there was a need for it.

Unfortunatley, if Billy Clinton would have done his job instead of his secretary we might not even be in this situation right now. He left this whole terrorist mess for Bush because democrats only know how cry about things, they dont know how or what to do when it comes to taking action. They can criticize but they dont know any alternatives to what they are criticizing. And this whole attempt for censorship this miniseries shows exactly what they want to do and that is control the media ,which they already do pretty much control, but apparently they want more. This sounds like IRAN to me. Dems want get rid of truth and replace it with liberalism.

Walter Cronkite would’ve never reported this type of material.

So with this show and with Path to 9/11 ABC is obviously just making up the news now. Who could believe anything this of the bs this network puts out? Credibility?pffft!

Good, another free campaign commercial for the Democratic National Committee. How many more of these to you plan leading up to the election, Mr. Ross? How about a report on how to get FBI files into the White House basement? How about a report on the different ways to dispose of pregnant mistress' or even better, how about a report on how Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney conspired with the oil companies to bring the price of gasoline? How about this one, a report on the conspiracy between Mr. Schumer and Mr. Fitzpatrick to falsely smear the Bush Administration? Here's another, during the last Presidential campaign, Mr. Kerry stated that he had a plan for victory in Iraq, maybe you could investigate and see what happened to it? See if it really existed. Any of these would be interesting stories, what do you think? Would be interesting to see a report on the threats and intimidation of former Clinton Administration officials regarding "Path to 9/11" and the caving in of ABC.

This is exactly the type of reporting we need to hold government officials to their word! For those who criticize these actions, remember the terrorists already know how to do this, they've been doing it for decades. Way past time for people in our country to wake up to the danger.

Wow! Journalist sure are clever. I'll bet they could probably 'drive off' without paying for gas, 'shoplift' without getting caught, 'skip out' on a dinner bill at a classy restaurant; or successfully engage in any number of anti-social and deleterious behaviors. Thank God there are a majority of 'well-intentioned' everyday folk who don't seek 'noteriety by abusing freedom in order to further their own careers and bragging about it in order to shine their egos and achieve self serving personal goals. One can generally group folks into three categories; those who 'build' a better world, those who 'destroy' the former, and of course those along for a free ride. Each has their own choice to make.

What a waste of time - ABC has a problem and now you are also bowing to complaints by Clinton's team on your special - for shame.

What's going on with ABC?

First, a 9/11 movie with allegedly made up facts, next, ABC buys explosives and plants them near the White House just to see if you can get away with it?

A viewer, Edith, writes about homeless people sleeping in the park and says "We're no where near ready", presumably for another attack.

ABC rewrites the truth, makes up the news (the real story should have just been about getting the chemicals) and no one cares that there are homeless in the park right down the street from the seat of the most powerful government on the planet?

With priorities like this, I'm ashamed to be a human being! The founding fathers would be ashamed of what we've allowed ourselves to become. Maybe if we as a society cared for people instead just standing by as they descended into homelessness, we wouldn't be such a big target for those of us who hate and kill other people.

Fear...it's all about fear. A scared society is more easily manipulated.

And within a mile or so of the White House, you can buy a kinds of drugs and firearms, and see Americans living in poverty. But that is apparently not what our news media is concerned with.

This story will be cold in 2 days.

WOW!!! Buying #1000 of fertilyzer in an agricultural area, driving and storing it 1/2 mile from the Whitehouse. OOOOOh so scary!! I think I'll move to Belgium, Switzerland or some other uninvolved neutral country that I can pull the covers over my head knowing that nobody cares of it's existance. It's sad to think that "homegrown" people like Nichols and gang found how to use something like that to bring the Fed Bldng in OK. down!! So how and who do we really watch that can keep this from happening again? There are a lot of laws and regs. on the books that are supposed to keep us safe. The only thing missing are the people that can follow them to the letter, which just like speeding on the freeway, "I'll let you go with a warning".

Terrorist plan? These guys routinely plan some of the most complex terrorist attacks in history, but they never knew before this article that fertilizer could make a bomb? Puhleeze!.

This is just stupid journalism. So some fertilizer got within a few miles of the White House.

Guess what, I bet there are dozens of trucks with fertilizer all over Maryland and Virginia within a few miles of the White House.

I want to know if Brian Ross is gonna get off that stupid cell phone in the picture and respond to what people are saying? Why does ABC like to put Americans in panic mode? What is the agenda over there? Can anyone answer?

For anyone who complains that this is giving ideas to the terrorists: WAKE UP! This material was already used in OK City bombing, the first WTC bombing, Bali, etc. The terror cell in Toronto was trying to acquire this stuff. The group down in Miami that wanted to blow up the Sears Tower was going to use Ammonium Nitrate. All of this is BEFORE Brian and his team discovered how easy it is to still get your hands on the ingredients.

Fact is, even though we have all of the warnings in the world -- even in the form of hundreds of dead people -- this stuff is still easy as pie to get and Congress keeps having measures to track it blocked by big lobbyists. If you think ABC showed anything to the terrorists, you have it backwards: The terrorists showed this to ABC and the rest of the world.

The fact that this was stored in DC is a sidenote to the story because it could have been stored anywhere. Besides, they wouldn't detonate it in the storage unit anyway.

The fact that they got so much with no questions asked is the point.

JOHN CURRY, YOU ARE MY HERO.

What a horrible story and a botched try to generate news.

Morons.

The government can pass laws that track who is buying cold medicine since it can be used to make drugs (meth), but it can't track who is buying the stuff used to in truck bombs? That makes sense... NOT.

To whoever said something about someone's skin color mattering in this story: What did Timothy McVeigh look like to you? I hope you don't work in law enforcement.

By the way, only a couple states have passed legislation on this stuff (Oklahoma, obviously after their attack). That's why folks wanted Congress to pass a federal regulation. Otherwise, the terrorists can just buy it in the states where they don't track it.

Ooops! Am I giving the braindead terrorists ideas since they NEVER thought of this before. Well, except for the millions of times they've already tried to blow us to bits with fertilizer. But as long as they don't sell Sudafed untracked, we're good to go!

Agree with Pee Dee.
ABC group didn't show anything to terrorists. They already know all of this. Even I know how to prepare a boms using but ammonium nitrate. So what? Major of USA citizens - don't know about this, and that's your weak point.
Moreover, ABC team showed, that all Bush's anti-terror war means nothing. Nobody want's to blow up america. NOBODY tries to do so. If terrorists wanted to blow up anything they'd do this a hundred times in one month.
That's what ABC team showed you.

Hey I bought 1/10 of what they bought for my yard last spring. I hope is doesn't explode and kill my grass.

You-all keep doing exactly what ABC wants you to do; believe everything they write. Nicholas & the gang were set up at OK. If you did your homework you would know that Nitrat blows down not up & out. In OK if that had truly been Nitrat there would have been a huge hole in the ground. It was plastic that blew OK city. And it was our own government people that did it to OK City.
Government wanted to pass a law that took away add'l rights from us. They couldn't get enough lawmakers to vote yes so they created an issue in the very heartland of the US. This created sympathy and got the law passed. Do you know you have to inform your bank what you are going to do with "your money" if you take more than $2,000.00 out of your bank account? If you refuse to tell them, the bank will refuse you access to your own money.
Instead of more laws which just inhibit our rights, we should be demanding more accountability from our elected officials.

Gee, you can buy fertilizer in North Carolina? The next thing ABC will try to tell me is that you can also buy gasoline for the truck carrying the fertilizer. And gosh darn it, don't even try to tell me that in my diesel driven, fertilizer carrying pick-up truck, I can't but me a lighter for my smokes. Or whatever else I care to light.

I'm curious ABC? Did your "investigative team" wear trench coats and sunglasses when they bought there....shhhhhh...you know what?

How pathetic. What happend to the days of professional journalist? Reporters reported the news; not invented it. What is worse, this isn't even newsworthy. Half a ton of fertilizer three miles from the white house; so what? If exploded damages what, a 1000ft. radius. Further, most every high school student has a fake ID to purchase alcohol; so checking ID's to purchase fertilizer is going to help how?

Brian, knock this crap off!!! No problem with you doing investigative reporting on this type of stuff in fact keep doing it, our authorities need to know our weaknesses. However keep it out of the media until such time when the problem is solved. Once again you are enabling our enemies. We have freedom of the press, freedom to print it or freedom not to! If I were to go to some terrorist and tell him this kind of information It would be considered treason, and by putting it in the media well..... you do the math!

here's an idea: wait until you see the story. Everybody jumps to conclusions and haven't even seen the report.

You people honestly think the terrorists haven't thought about using fertilizer and that ABC gave the terrorists ideas? You people need to wake up. The terrorists are a little beyond fertilizer bombings. Good job ABC for getting this in the open. Fertilizer sales should not be unrestriced.

This is news? Give me a break! By the way, good luck getting your ammonium nitrate to detonate without primacord. 500 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer is about as dangerous as 500 pounds of cedar mulch without some serious blasting caps and booster charges. This is such a stupid, tired story. Leave the COOP people alone, the farmers don't need more bureaucracy to get their fertilizer you hacks. It's easy to get AN because it is so safe and NOT so easy to use asa blasting charge. Stop howling for police-state restrictions on basic commodities you yellow journalism lamebrain crybabies.

Stuart... it has been 11 years since OK City. Is that long enough for law enforcement, and especially Congress, to get their butts in gear? Lord knows they spend enough time talking about flag burning and gay marriage. I'd think they'd already do something about people being able to buy an explosive oxidizer off the shelf with no ID.

Personally, I know folks who sell Ammonium Nitrate and don't sell it to anyone they don't know. Why? Because they KNOW people can make bombs out of it. It isn't a matter of letting law enforcement do their job if there isn't any regulation to make it illegal. My friends who sell it also say there are a lot of sellers who aren't as prudent and there is no law to make them keep tabs on the stuff. I'd like to think if a truck bomb went off, we'd be able to look up who has been buying the stuff and potentially track the criminals down.

My goodness, are people so ignorant? That fertilizer isn't even an explosive nor is it dangerous by itself, but it can act as an oxidizer to accelerate the burning of fuel in a bomb. Or it can make your lawn or home garden prettier There is no need to regulate or track that stuff anymore than other common household products that could be used to make something poisonous or explosive by a bad person. Are we going to outlaw cotton underwear because it can be used to make trinitrocellulose?

folks, youre missing a great opportunity here...stop giving ABC all those negative comments...and send them to CBS and NBC instead!

...and what are you going to do with the purchased fertilizer now?

Hey Brian, when you're ready I'll help you find a Ryder truck and a map to the White House.

PeeDee has it exactly right. The point of the article is that we have a known material that has actually been used in more than one attack that supposedly has had legislation passed to regulate its use (very good thing) but some nimrod industry protectionist is holding up the implementation of the law (very bad thing). This is another example of why we're still vulnerable to attack - too many people don't want to take threats seriously enough to allow action against them to proceed. This story about how we are failing to deal with a specific and well-known threat should be of interest to anyone who is interested in our nation's security.

For those of you who sneer that this report is just fear-mongering, I would say to you what Aragorn said to Frodo - "You're not nearly frightened enough."

Way to generate a headline! You cannot find real news, so you create it. What next? Are you going to sneak into a theater?

You are so ridiculous.

Brian, Give me a break. Registration to purchase fertilizer??? What's next, registration to purchase fuel? Don't forget the other component of the OK City bombing; fuel oil. Gasoline by itself is incredibly volatile and can destroy easily. How about the other over the counter products that can easily be used to create explosive combinations or incendiary devices. Next you will call for registration to purchase batteries because they could be used in building detonators. Get a life!!!

This seems like a lame premise for a "news" story. Maybe the fact that you could buy such a large quantity of potential bomb making chemicals deserves some attention but the fact that it was stored a few miles from the White House seems irrelavant. What are you proposing the Government do about this? Perhaps daily door to door searches of all properties? One more nail in the coffin in the "Land of the Free".
I also don't think Democrats or Republicans can be blamed for what's happening in your country right now regarding terrorism. This problem has been brewing for years upon years. Saddam and Osama were your friends when it served your purpose. Thier transition to evil is too complicated to type in this post but it is easily found by searching out some history. Unfortunatly, American News is more concerned with ratings and entertainment than it is with reporting the true nature of things. I guess it all boils down to shareholder value in the end. Who cares what the truth is as long as a dollar is being made.

You got it Posted by:

So?? I dont get the point. Could the blast from the explosives destroy the whitehouse from that distance away? Try sneeking a nuclear missle into the same storage shed, then you will get my attention.
A FEW MILES? Ross, you are a pathetic newsmaking loser. Go back to trash removal, not trash reporting, moron.

We may have been attakced by Islamic terrorists, but "profiling" Muslims or people from the same areas as the terrorists is a bad thing.

But the people that buy ammonium nitrate are not only not Muslims but are largely white. Not only that but a lot of them own guns and chew tobacco or smoke, just the kind of people that we need to keep an eye on.

So you're going to make life harder for the farmers who use the fertilizer to GROW YOUR FOOD!!! Way to go. Farmers have enough hassle without dumb reporting like this. Someone somewhere wasn't using their noggin. If the journalists had to be as censored as the American citizens are at times, our enemies wouldn't know what we're up to half the time, would they?

This is not the appropriate time to print information like this to encourage the radical's who are looking to do something drastic on or near the anniversary of 911. Why do we keep showing people how to commit terrorist acts. This is giving them the roadmap. The next group to do this will not let us know it has been done. I think this is in poor taste and again extremely bad timing.

I love the non-committal 'a few miles from the White House'.

So, where was it? Somebody's backyard shed in Suitland, MD? Hey, that's a 'few miles' from the White House. Oh, no... from the look of the grainy indistinct picture, it was probably one of those self-storage places. Those things are as common as, well, fertilizer out here a 'few miles from the White House'.

What's with the sensationalistic tabloid news blurbs? Did you guys merge with The National Enquirer when nobody was looking? Is this really "investigative" news? There are better ways of informing the public that you can still buy enough fertilizer to make a powerful bomb. The way you chose just makes y'all look bad.

I wonder what your advertisers pay for click throughs on these 'journalism' pages.

This is the journalistic counterpart of "bait-and-switch."

First: In the lead-in description of the story, ABC did not even mention fertilizer, probably because they knew it would be met mostly with yawns. Anyone can purchase ammonium nitrate, and store it virtually anywhere.

Second: Who was that clown that said fertilizer is the terrorists explosive of choice? With a couple of exceptions, it has been largely ignored for more compact high explosives like C4 and Semtex.

Come on, ABC, your are succumbing to the stereotype of tabloid journalism. But then, why should that surprise anyone.

You aren’t serving the public by making the world more informed of genuine threats, but rather you are creating worthless fear-factor stories out of whole cloth, resulting in more unwarranted anxiety simply to sell “copy.”

Ammonium Nitrate is "fertilizer".

So let's pervert "fertilizer" into "one of the world's most dangerous bomb-making materials".

The number one chemical liquid that causes more deaths than anything else is Hydrogen Monoxide.

Also known as water.

Sad.

So, the American people pay billions of $$$$ to farmers to subsidize farmers and they object to Ammonium Nitrate purchases being recorded. Get a life you hayseed jerks. Is it because you can't write your names or are you too stupid to understand that this stuff is actually used in making home made bombs and killing Americans. And you congressmen who cow tow to this, you are even and patriotic. It's all about politics, not integrity. I don't believe there is any integrity left in the halls of congress. Probably very little. We need some national referendums.

Our TV reporting is BS. They need hot stories to keep the rating. They care less about the wellbeing and the security of the nation. Why don't you guys go after Big Oil companies making 45 billion dollars a quarter profit? You report for a day or two and forget. Investigate how our congress is failing us. Report with facts. Go after the "good for nothing" Senators and congressman. Expose pork-barrel fund allocations. FEMA missmanagement. Did you expose a single scam and nail a single federal official when they turned blind eye to the Gulf coast victims even after one year of Katrina. Did you ask our president whether he knows how to get the job done rather than giving empty speeches? Do our morons in Congress realize how big of a problem Illegal Immigration is? They don't care because it affects thier votes. They will sell our country if it is benificial to them. Brian... there are many better things to report and make our lawmakers act responsibly and ethically. Grow up child.

More clear evidence that the liberal news media colaborates with the Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups to inflict damage to the people of the United States.

Now if your crew would have made a bomb that would have been news. I do not think you or them are smart enough and this story proves it.

If the US is indeed at war with Islamo-fascists and is in a struggle to the death, why doesn't the USA simply use the nuclear deterence concept against the Islamic world--one more attack of any kind against any US target will result in the immediate nuclear destruction of all major Islamic cities around the planet, including Mecca, Damascus, Ridya, and Tehran.
It is time to stop screwing around with these Allah damned fools. This will force the so-called moderate muslims to reign in the extremist elements of their societies. If they fail to do so, then we shall simple eradicate this islamic pestilence from the earth. And it is a hell of a lot more economical approach in terms of American lives and dollars.

This is a sad day for "journalism" in the USA. Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful idea for a story. I hope heads roll at ABC and that the cretin(s) who planned this have to walk the plank. Just Dumb !
