 Rumors are just that; rumors.  Just one of your 'citations' above is total 
 bunk.  You 'heard' that 5 contractors were shot by National Guard/Security 
 Forces.  Just a small effort with Google would have shown clearly the story 
 was NO Police killed thugs that were shooting at contract workers on a 
 bridge. 
  
 The devestation and loss of life is horrible enough without drooling pimply 
 facted morons passing on unsubstantied rumors without simple fact checking.
