Re: Components of Dirty Bombs in Georgia

["Richard L. Hess" <lists@richardhess.com>]

While this specific report doesn't have any radiological implications, I found 

the fact that ABC News has apparently instituted a "Daily Terrorism Report" in 

it's email and Web site feeds to be part of the continued background 

reverberations that are keeping the national fear level up.



Just the word: Terror-ism doesn't help.



Today was the first day I recall receiving this link in my news email feed, but 

it does NOT say "We are inaugurating a new service..."



http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/Investigation/Insider_DTR.html?rand=120311



It's a fine line between 

  --increasing the terror

  --keeping the citizenry informed

  --helping us stay safe

  --helping us feel secure

  --maintaining/increasing ratings



I'm not criticizing the network here, but I think this is an outlet that should 

be watched for factual reporting and someone with more credentials than I 

should inform them if they step over the line.
