Training exercise? Nash doesn't think so.
April 21, 2008 11:39 AM by Andrew / 41 Comments / TrackbackLike I said, I missed the first few seconds of the interview. But here’s most of the clip that ran on the NNT Morning News a few hours ago, as promised:
This is insane.
Insane.
Now I’m almost certain that something is going on. Jack Nash – who I’ve admired ever since he visited Berkeley to lecture about his work as an investigative journalist – filed a report last night from Salt Lake City, where more troops are preparing to go down and extend a barricade “at an unspecified location in southeastern Utah,” as part of a “routine training exercise.”
This is supposed to be a training exercise? I don’t know much about the National Guard, but I’ve never heard of anything like this – and from his reaction during the broadcast, I’m betting Nash hasn’t either. There’s no way this is just a routine exercise. I guess it’s good that Nash is looking into it, because he’ll have a lot more resources and access than I do. On the other hand, if it’s important enough to warrant Nash’s interest, it makes me even more scared that this is something huge.
It’s been over a week now. I’ve got to figure this out before I go insane.
