Well it happened here. The other night I heard loud helicopters and wondered if a police search was going on (even though it was dark). Now, I was in a suburb of Lowell, at least 3 to 5 miles (as the crow flies) from the action. It was pretty loud there, I can imagine how loud it must have been at the site of the exercise. Last night's local paper (The Lowell Sun) had an article about it and it was featured on the Boston TV newscasts this morning. I did an altavista search but there is no word of it on the Internet (yet). According to the paper, Lowell has the best type of urban landscape (old mill buildings, overhead wires, etc.) to train Navy SEALS in some sort of urban assault. OK, well fine, but the TV report this morning said that there was no advance warning to the public and people were scared and panicky in some cases. Why no warning? That was because they don't want people gathering around to observe and perhaps get hurt. I can't help but think that these explanations are hiding something. Has the military always rehearsed smack dab in the midst of our daily lifes? Texas, Massachusetts, what poor neighborhood will be terrified out of their wits next. Is there a precedence for this type of activity?

There were a lot of questions about "how this could have happened" when the bullet ridden bodies of 18 young rangers came home. Could it have been the fact that training in inner city fighting did not occur? ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations. Adieu, Adios, Aloha.
