The U.S. Coast Guard just fired on a boat in the Potomac. This should be interesting........

Details as they become known.

It was a Training Exercise.

Yep, interrupted old footage of 9/11/2001 for a news alert.

No shots were fired. CNN erroneously reported it, others, not wanting to be the only ones reporting accurately, picked up on it.

Hey Rick where did you get that compass rose from? Don't think I've.... Oh wait that wasn't what you meant.... Oh I get it now!!!

Another example of the media not wanting to be restricted by facts. And then trying to start an artificial crisis.

I listened to the radio transmissions this evening and it pretty much sounded like the real deal to me....as much as I know about the real deal. CNN says they placed two calls to the CG and was told nothing was going on. Hard decision based on that. Just one more SNAFU and Monday morning quaterbacking.
