Stuck on Stupid

If you don't educate the people, they won't know you're telling lies. I'm pretty sure that's the Republican edict. Here's a perfect example:

NEW YORK - A foiled plot to blow up a jet fuel pipeline under John F.
Kennedy International Airport drew attention to what counterterrorism
experts
have warned could be a key target.
On Saturday, three men, one
of them a
former member of Guyana’s parliament, were arrested and one was
being sought in
Trinidad as part of a plan that intended to “cause greater
destruction than in
the Sept. 11 attacks” in a neighborhood surrounding the
airport, according to an
indictment.
It was the first threat against
Buckeye Pipe Line Co., which
operates petroleum conduits in 18 states, the
company said. Its pumping facility
in Linden, N.J., has 45 storage tanks
pumps turbine fuel, gasoline, diesel and
other fuel and heating oils through
two 12-inch pipes to customers in New York
City, including JFK and LaGuardia
airports. The network totals 35 miles within
the city alone.

Except...that's not what happens when you light up a jet fuel pipeline. This is what happens:

Yup. That's a jet fuel pipeline that hooks up to Oakland International Airport. A construction crew cut that by accident back in 2004. It went boom. It did not however, blow up all of Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Berkeley, Oakland or Oakland International Airport. It just went boom. It did kill the guy who cut the line and another guy. It did severely burn some dudes. It did not expand because jet fuel needs air in order to burn. Apparently the United States Federal Goverment doesn't know that little tidbit about jet fuel. Yeah, raise the alert level to BROWN=Shit for Brains.
