In case anybody missed it:
Had you been there, and wanted to use your own judgement about whether to leave the game...oh, well. Remember, the government knows what's best for you.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't there. It's just easier to sweep and clear when you don't have 84,000 people trying to trample you while you're looking for deadly devices. |

Should we assume all fires and explosions are ROP attacks until proven otherwise? I think we should wait until we hear more about the person killed before we start assuming we're under attack, but that's just me. |

2300 and nothing on FoxNews TV.
WOW...  You can't tell me they already know whether it was a terrorist or just a pissed off failing student. So that tells me they are sweeping it under the rug. The reason...I dunno. |

OK who here didn't make explosive devices on college? When I first saw the headline I thought "OOhhh... unlucky bastard!" because shit happens when you play with explosives. However, after reading that it was at a sporting event I'm not so sure.

After a night of a few drinks, watching Purdue lose, and watching tome teenage titties on some whacked out IFC movie with my dad, there is nothing on Fox, MSNBC, CNN or CNN Headline news about this.
Like Tanknet.org, I trust ARFOCM for up to date news reporting. WTF is going on. Please help the alcohol impaired at this late hour. Should I be loading mags? WTF??? |

heres another report from freerepublic.com
I just posted what happened as I was at the game so I might as well post what a girl at my son's fraternity said. She is Iranian (Persian) and she said two dark Middle Eastern types came running into the stadium and separated several minutes after the bomb went off. She said since she was Middle Eastern she felt safe in saying they fit the profile. She made a point of saying they were much darker skinned then the Iranian people and when she heard the bomb blast, she was convinced at the time it was a suicide bomb and these two were part of what was happening. Word we are getting is that they were on their way to the stadium to make a statement by blowing it up there. My daughter and I walked the long way back to my son's fraternity house as they had closed off a large part of the campus and was behind someone (he was wearing a suit) on the phone and his wife was telling everyone around to get as far away from the stadium as possible. Freaky night! |

Well, sure. Isn't that how every one does it?  Not that the timing - early in the FB season - has ANYTHING to do with it Midterms haven't even happened, have they? So much for the distressed college student crapola. |

Why is no network down there, making a mountain out of a molehill like they always do? I think this is a terrorist attack that went wrong.I think we all know it is a matter of time till they start getting on our busses and blowing them up.

Still nothing on the local news. I've heard a few helicopters flying around. It is odd that fox news took down the banner. They closed Bizzel library (the main campus library across the street from where the explosion occured) 2 weeks ago for a "suspicious package" but they never told us anything and it was never in the news. Maybe they have been holding back some information for some time.

from CNN
Explosion outside college football game Authorities: One killed, apparently a suicide Saturday, October 1, 2005; Posted: 11:54 p.m. EDT (03:54 GMT) NORMAN, Oklahoma (AP) -- One person was killed in an explosion near a packed football stadium at the University of Oklahoma on Saturday night in what authorities said appeared to be a suicide. The blast, in a traffic circle about 100 yards from Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, could be heard by some in the crowd of 84,000, but university President David Boren said no one inside the stadium was ever in danger. "We are apparently dealing with an individual suicide, which is under full investigation," Boren said in a statement. There was no information about the person who was killed, and no reports of any other injuries. A police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast. The area near the stadium was searched by bomb-sniffing dogs. Jaclyn Hull, an OU freshman who left the game shortly before the explosion, said she saw "a little bit of smoke, about as much as you would see coming up from a grill." Officers cordoned off an area west of the stadium after the explosion and nobody was allowed out of the stadium for about a half-hour after the blast, which occurred shortly before 8 p.m., about halftime of the Sooners' game against Kansas State. The game continued. |

The answer you seek is YES. Actually, it's HELL YES! I'm not sure if you follow current events, but the old "Suicide Bomber" routine is one of the ROP's favorite pastimes. Basic common sense dictates that we assume muslims are at fault until proven otherwise. Sheesh, where have you been the last 10 years or so? Under a rock?

Before I go adjusting my tinfoil, I had a thought--maybe it's been pulled while these agencies complete thier investigation, like so the operating cell doesn't know that the cops are 'on to them' so to speak. Another poster mentioned the timing at the beginning of football season. This is an execellent point, and not one I would have thought of, but the economic impact would be huge...I'm sure that NFL and college football games bring alot of cash to the cities hosting them. I'm not sure this would be a good reason alone for pulling the story, however. As for Drudge...well, he tends to report on what everyone else is reporting on. He's had some scoops, sure...but if none of the news outlets has the scoop on their site, he can't link to it...he really isn't an investigative reporter. And if I'm all wrong, I'm gonna grab some of the heavy-duty tin foil that's rated to block the newest Orbital Mind Control Laser Sats, and order about 50 mags from Bushmaster. Wait...25 mags and spend the rest on ammo. I always forget ammo isn't included

worst case i would think would be thart he was on his way to outfit another bomber. i imagine two simultaneous explosions in a packed corridor, or in front of a crowded concession stand, could do some serious damage. not to mentio if the had the knowledge to find structural weaknesess in the stadium construction. a collapsing section of seating would send a pretty powerful message. |

My daughter was working retail sales at a popular dress shop at one of the malls till this past Tuesday. She went to work in the morning and the place was locked up with an out of business sign on the door. Seems the Muslim owners decided to take a vacation to "Europe" for three months. No prior notice to any employees. Hope this isn't some kind of sign.
