    They say here that two F-16 fighters fired warning shots.



    I bet that got the intruder to alter his course somewhat.

      I bet that's not all he did.

          New Drudge headline:

          SMALL PLANE 'OFF COURSE' CAUSES RAW ALARM IN WASHINGTON... WHITE HOUSE, CAPITOL WERE EVACUATED; VP RACES OFF IN LIMO, STAFF RUNS FOR THEIR LIVES; guard in the West Wing of the White House shouted at reporters, "Go down into the basement." "Leave, run," security officers shouted to staff and reporters at the Capitol. "This is not a drill," guards shouted as they moved people away from the building... location.

            That's a funny headline.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              If we become overly paranoid, OBL wins.

                Or maybe it wasn't a case of paranoia but rather a case of being better safe than sorry?

                  I don't think it is paranoia if they act with all means neccessary in such cases. That's their job. If it turns out that nothing serious did happen -- fine, but as long this isn't absolutely clear they better be careful.

                    I would suggest there's a certain amount of caution one should excercize in life.

                    I'm not gonna go walking around the hood at night flashing lots of cash. That doesn't make me racist or paranoid.

                        I think you've become overly paranoid since Sept. 11, but in this case, it was not paranoia. Planes have proven to be effective weapons, and another attack is entirely possible. Firing the alert when a plane enters the no-fly zone (which I bet all pilots know well) is pretty normal. It's like calling the anti-bomb team when someone abandoned his luggage in the airport.

                          I'm more worried about the report that Cheney was raced off in a limo, that can't be good for him if it happens too often.

                            I have seen the images on TV. Actually, I couldn't see anything. No planes, no fiery explosions, nothing. Just a cameraman running down the street capturing blurred images of the sky with his shaken camera.

                            Just like "The Blair Witch Project": you think that something is happening but there is nothing happening.
                            I watched you fall. I think I pushed.
