The deputy patrolling the STP perimeter questioned the three reporters who told him they were doing a story on uranium mining and its effects on Kingsville farmers.

Exactly WHY the hell would a Middle East TV station give two fucks about this story?

“We ran extensive background checks on each individual and found no criminal history or other problems,” said Crow.

Not 100% sure … but I think background checks on the 19 9-11-01 hijackers/murderers wouldn’t have pulled up much more than expired visas.

“Two were Canadian nationals and one was based in Washington D.C.”

See: “Of Arab/Muslim persuasion”

According to Crow, there was no breech of security and the reporters never approached the plant.

See: Nuke Plant Security Cameras …

“Our office is going to continue to monitor this situation,” said Crow

See: Background checks pulled up nothing this time … Next time “On FBI’s Watch List” comes up …

According to Crow, the cooperation between the Matagorda County Sheriff Department and STP security worked well when tested today.

I agree … Now get a 24/7 guard around there pronto

Glad they showed vigilance, and weren’t afraid of the “race card.”

I agree with your assessment. Seems awfully strange that a middle eastern news station would have any reason to give two shits about the effect of uranium mining on an American farming community. That would have turned my bullshit meter on red alert

Red Lights? Al Jazeera has always done little reports on the sides of their Major reports. Maybe they should beef up security because of the suspicion, but seriously, I’ve been reading Al Jazeera, along with many other new sources, for a really long time. They do all kinds of stories, which would include this. They were even trying to set up an interview.

Why does Al-Jazeera still exist?

See “before” and “after” potential. They need a “before” shot before they can run the story. Scary shit.

At this point, err on the side of caution.
They did request an interview, which leads to some credibility of their story. I expect our domestic energy production would be of interest to the gulf states.

Still, did they notify anyone they wanted to take film of a nuke plant? Waterboard ‘em.

There is a lot more to this that being told. It shows how easily a person of middle east descent can show up anywhere, anytime. Homeland security needs to follow up with an investigation. News reporters from Middle East companies should not be allowed to film any nuclear facility anywhere in the US for whatever reason. Bad policy

What were these clowns names? No indication of their place of birth or religion. Seems too PC to me.

Drill - sterling analysis, BTW.
