BACK TO THE BUNKER
By William M. Arkin
Sunday, June 4, 2006; Page B01
On Monday, June 19, about 4,000 government workers representing more than 50 federal agencies from the State Department to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission will say goodbye to their families and set off for dozens of classified emergency facilities stretching from the Maryland and Virginia suburbs to the foothills of the Alleghenies. They will take to the bunkers in an "evacuation" that my sources describe as the largest "continuity of government" exercise ever conducted, a drill intended to prepare the U.S. government for an event even more catastrophic than the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

I just tried to rent a back hoe to dig my own bunker. Something MUST be going on...all the back hoes in South Texas are all rented out.
OH NO!!!!! See you all on the 20th of June.

(JenSouth). Again, very well stated. As for sources, I believe the referenced article from the Wash Post states that. I will check that and let you know.

I will take note of my conduct. Sorry Texas. I'll be good

However, you seemed to place an emphasis on the bunker people saying good bye. That's just not a big deal and is certainly not sinister. Just challenging logical thinking.
