Don't think Homeland Security is an issue anymore? Think terrorism is so 2002? Guess what? It is not. From Fox News:
DEVELOPING STORY — An explosive device caused minor damage to an empty military recruiting station in Times Square early Thursday, shaking guests in hotel rooms high above.
Police blocked off the area to investigate the explosion, which occurred at about 3:45 a.m., shattering the station's glass entryway. No one was injured.
"If it is something that's directed toward American troops than it's something that's taken very seriously and is pretty unfortunate," said Army Capt. Charlie Jaquillard, who is the commander of Army recruiting in Manhattan.
He said no one was inside the station, where the Marines, Air Force and Navy also recruit.
Witnesses staying at a Marriott hotel four blocks away said they could feel the building shake with the blast.
"I was up on the 44th floor and I could feel it. It was a big bang," said Darla Peck, 25, of Portland, Oregon.
"It shook the building. I thought it could have been thunder, but I looked down and there was a massive plume of smoke so I knew it was an explosion," said Terry Leighton, 48, of London, who was staying on the 21st floor of the Marriot.
Members of the police department's bomb squad and fire officials gathered outside the station in the early morning darkness, and police cars and yellow tape blocked drivers — most of them behind the wheels of taxicabs — from entering one of the world's busiest crossroads. Police began allowing some traffic through around the start of rush hour.
Though subway cars passed through the Times Square station without stopping in the early hours of the investigation, normal service was soon restored, with some delays.
The recruiting station, located on a traffic island surrounded by Broadway theaters and chain restaurants, has occasionally been the site of anti-war demonstrations, ranging from silent vigils to loud rallies.
Anybody know where Code Pink was, the Berkeley City Clowncil, or Earth Liberation First?
Seriously, anyone who thought everything is OK and we can elect a bunch of appeasers needs to wake up and smell the coffee....
If this is some sick anti-military thing, all you pinko lefties remember, high school kids go to these stations....and I think whoever did this, they need to go to Gitmo, whether they are foreign or domestic. Wait, Gitmo is too good for them, with the customized meals and such. They should be severely punished. Thank God no one was injured.
UPDATE
It's 7:23am....Matt Drudge, where are you?
