>> is that story FOR REAL for real??? Rereading the article Augie posted from the Chicago trib, they were using the focus groups, to prevent panics... maybe they should use different focus groups next time. -GGGG- The timing of the upgrade to code orange seems very fishy to me, but who knows. The thing is i've read they've been using focus groups to craft their messages to sell unpopular proposals. It would not surprise me, at this point, that the week before the largest anti-war rallys since Vietnam, that they would use focus tested scare tactics. As they say... just my opinion. Sorry for crowding up your great thread with politics. -Chris
