Mainstream Media Finally Covers Chicago Drill

Here is the first articles (other)that I have seen so far covering the Chicago terrorism drill. According to CBS, the Department of Homeland Security is testing response for a bird flu outbreak and terrorist attack which include a "mock explosion and building collapse".

An interesting side note, the reporter Kristyn Hartman is covering the from the location at 2300 Patriot Blvd in Glenview, Illinois. Patriot, how's that for propaganda?

One drill is being held at the Northeast Illinois Public Safety Training Academy in Glenview. Residents of the north suburb may notice military helicopters, humvees, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles heading for the academy on Patriot Boulevard while the training goes on.
