IS THIS THE FACTION WAR FRONT?

Hi Dave,
here's an excerpt from the local Seattle KING 5 website about the tightened security around Bremerton/Bangor Naval Base:

"The Navy is concerned about possible terrorist acts," said Lt. Paul M. Stocklin Jr., chief of the waterways branch at the Coast Guard Marine Safety Office in Seattle, which oversees the zones. "That potential threat still exists." According to a notice published July 9 in the Federal Register, potential threats were detected after the October 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen that killed 17 sailors.

"The attack ... precipitated U.S. Navy security reviews, which have determined that immediate threats exist to naval bases and submarines in Puget Sound," the Federal Register notice said.

It's not clear how the threats were detected or what they are.

The notice said it would be "contrary to the public interest to disclose the exact nature of the current threats... as this information is highly classified, and if divulged would greatly damage U.S. intelligence sources and security postures." But it said the threat "is real, credible and immediate."

"Immediate action is necessary to safeguard U.S. naval bases and submarines from sabotage, other subversive acts, or accidents, and otherwise protect naval assets vital to national security."

"...contrary to public interest..." that's not much of an answer, is it?
