...weeks ago, for example, the feds held their last major exercise - simulating dirty bomb attacks in Portland, Phoenix and Guam. A VNN anchor played by former TV journalist Forrest Sawyer broke the "news." A real reporter from the Portland Tribune noted that he and the rest of the actual media were kept more than a football field away from the scene...

No explosions occurred, but without crowds, the entire event seemed merely a dress rehearsal staged for the benefit of the dignitaries and press, a marching band playing to empty streets.
