"Media are not allowed to participate in the actual exercise," explained Laura Keehner, spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security. "It is our own training. It's for internal use only, for official use only. You can imagine, for security reasons, if you understood exactly every detail of how the intelligence community works and the details of our operations on a very granular basis during an incident of national significance, those who wish to do us harm could...
