NLE 09 will allow terrorism prevention efforts to proceed to a logical end (successful or not), with no requirement for response or recovery activities..."


So does this infer that the gov't already knows that a terrorist act will occur before the July 2009 date of these exercises?

If so, then may the unknown become known for the highest and best good of all. a penny for your thoughts.

The exercise isn't happening after an ACTUAL terrorist event, the scenario will be that a theoretical event just happened, and the response to it.
