"Is there any possibility that this could have been terrorist-related"

[marmar]

CNN just now on the MetroNorth derailment. I fucking hate CNN.

1. in this day and age

that's a valid question

[marmar]

2. Before any facts are in at all and they're still responding? Hardly.

8. What is so special about this day in this age?

[bettyellen]

10. this happened in a city that has been targeted many times? And hit worse than anywhere in the US?

If you are a NYer, this would be a valid question.

3. In the realm of probability,

Yes. Till all is known, speculation. In the reality of CNN, sensationalist. That's where we be!

[dlwickham]

4. CNN is trying to draw views from other networks

of course it's sensationalism but you know that the other networks are tossing out the same questions to their "experts"

5. What kind of moron terrorist would hit on a Sunday morning?

You'd kill a whole hell of a lot more people during Monday morning or evening rush hour.

6. It's doubtful. There was another derailment in that spot recently.

7. CNN had Diane Feinstein on this morning talking about 'mushroom clouds' heading our way

if we don't leave the NSA alone.

She and her Repub buddy were so obvious it was almost funny, she didn't use the same words as Condi, 'mushroom clouds' but it was the same fear mongering.

According to her the WOT has failed after over a decade of killing people because, according to her, 'we are in far more danger than we ever were' and it's all because our 'Intel Svces, the CIA and the NSA, can't do their jobs because we are 'fighting amongst ourselves' over, well she tried not to say this, but our 'freedoms'. How dare we question the NSA spying on the American people.

But the idiot who was interviewing them, feeding them the prepared questions, naturally didn't ask the obvious questions such as 'well if we are in more danger now than ever, doesn't that mean all of Bush's wars only INCREASED the hatred for the West'? AND, how come the NSA could not find terrorists EVEN BEFORE this past few months, they had a free reign for over 12 years and as you say, things are even WORSE than they ever were?

I never saw such garbage and obvious attempt to be allowed to continue to violate the Constitutional rights they CLAIM we are 'fighting for', since Condi and Cheney and Bush were lying us into this failure over a decade ago.

First time I've watched a Sunday Morning 'news' show in years, and it confirmed for me why it is a waste of time. Same propaganda, different decade, different letter after her name.

9. Disgraceful. Reporters should only ask questions that the authorities have pre-approved. (nt)
