Troubled by Security Drills Among Other Things
RECEIVED Mon., Feb. 23, 2004
Dear Editor,
The Statesman article of Feb. 18 titled "Security drill will feature 3 cities in trouble, 250 folks to the rescue" left me troubled. I suppose I should be troubled by the thought of a possible radioactive leak at Comanche Peak nuclear power plant. I should be troubled by the thought of a nuclear bomb in Cotulla. I should be troubled by a category four hurricane. I am certainly troubled by the fact that "environmentalists" are now in the same category as "terrorists" and that the U.S. Northern Command, Homeland Security, and the Fifth Army have to hold drills to practice dealing with us.
