Ground Zero Plans Found In Trash

(AP)  A homeless man has come forward with two sets of confidential ground zero blueprints that he says were dumped in a Lower Manhattan trash can.

The man brought the Freedom Tower plans to the New York Post, which says the 150-page schematic is marked: "Secure Document - Confidential."

The documents are dated Oct. 5, 2007. They contain plans for each floor, the thickness of the concrete-core wall, and the location of air ducts, elevators, electrical systems and support columns.

The agency that owns the World Trade Center site, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, calls it a serious security lapse.

Spokeswoman Candace McAdams says mishandling the blueprints would be "cause for serious disciplinary action." But she says the plans are not detailed and have been updated several times since October.

That tower is what they call freedom tower. But what does it really mean? Freedom for who?. The neo cons that own you and this country are not interisted in your petty life, They simply cant stand american values. If they did we would all be well off. They make the poor pay with there lives and there labor. We need a REVOLUTION Kick the bums out.

You can''t expect much intelligence from a DOOFUS follower. It''s their nature I guess.

Hell,it is no wonder that we get all this BS,from terrorist organizations.All that would have took was a Islamic extremist to dig those secret documents out of the trash,and they would have known exactly where every rivet,and bolt went.That is just perfect the way everyone has forgotten about the bad guys,and have let their guards down.We must keep 911 in our hearts no matter how painful,that is the only way to keep us on alert!
