Yeah, the paper was doing the drill itself, that's exactly what we meant.squeegee said:You are acting like illiterate imbeciles. On paper it involved a company of 1000 people. That actual drill involved just a few people performing activities in a simulated drill.
How is that difficult to comprehend? You are conceding nothing to conspiracy nuts or anyone else. Just accepting what is said in the quote.
If you prevaricate on such a minor point (or just can't plain understand it) how are we to proceed with getting any truth on this?
By hurling abuse and providing no actual proof of your claims that this was just a paper drill, other than a misreading of PP's first quote, you demonstrate only a willingness to brush this under the carpet.
Much like the Government and mainstream journalists.
Incidentally anyone got any other quotes from PP that says the drill was a paper exercise? You maintain it was such. How about someone here show me proof of that then I'll concede and apologise.
Go ahead. Make my day.

A few people were in a room, isolated from the outside reacting to a theoretical situation. This is what i, db, the ed and everyone else who has a foothold in the realm of the sane has been saying. At no point will the majority or even a significant fraction of the company's staff be involved.
You are a nutjob, it doesn't matter what questions you ask or do not ask.

Bless.squeegee said:Or are you all really that dumb?
squeegee said:Does this not count as a teeny-weeny bit of evidence for questioning further? Really?
You gonna move the goal posts again? Was this a paper exercise too?

"Britain's Atlantic Blue, April 2005
In addition to the 7/7 exercise conducted by Visor Consultants, a similar mock terror drill on London's transportation system entitled "Atlantic Blue" was held in April 2005, barely three months prior to the real attacks. In 2003, a mock terror drill labelled OSIRIS 2 was conducted. It consisted, according to Peter Power in testing the "equipment and people deep in the Underground of London". It involved the participation of several hundred people. (Interview with Peter Power, CTV, 11 July 2005).
Care to discuss the relevance of the supposed links to 9/11 made by the same, selectively quoting, agenda-driven author?squeegee said:Bob, was this a paper drill too? Is that what it says? Care to deny this happened?
What's your point caller?squeegee said:Bob, was this a paper drill too? Is that what it says? Care to deny this happened?

No? Why not?

No that's not a paper excersise you fucking moron, it will have been proceeded by paper drills and training excersises. The entire nature of it is different, one is to teach, the other is to practice. EDIP.squeegee said:Just answer the question Bob

What is your point, you accept there is nothing suspicious about the drill on the day, so now it's one months before that's suspicious?
Court of law? I thought you claimed you were after an inquiry.squeegee said:I accept it is likely there was nothing suspicious. I would still like the questions asked in an independent public inquiry.
So you now state there are different stages to a terror drill.
How do you know which level the Visor drill was at? How? Without asking PP under oath in a legal setting you have nothing that can be considered proof.
Only his word. How do you know he isn't protecting his client? How? Unless you ask him in a court of law.
And, once again, could you explain what possible relevance a jet fighter drill on 9/11 has to Power's corporate on-paper exercises on 7/7 please?squeegee said:Care to show me how Atlantic Blue was also a paper drill? Care to deny that the 9/11 jet fighter drill was real?

You wot? You've already made your mind up, judge jury and executioner squeegee.squeegee said:An independent inquiry will hopefully discover evidence leading to a prosecution. Just jumping ahead. Pointless to do when there's so much stonewalling going on....EVERYWHERE
In relation to the fact that they are entirely self-contained, yes. They are. Because if someone starts ringing / faxing / e-mailing other people who are not involved in the exercise chaos ensues and next thing the public are panicking, the police, etc. are getting millions of calls, etc. etc.squeegee said:Either that or you are saying all drills are the same.
It's a commonly used phrase to mean 'not a real exercise', as in one conducted paper and/or onscreen.squeegee said:Wasn't on paper, was it?
Are you blind? Or just stupid?squeegee said:Nowhere does Peter Power say this was a paper exercise
So are you saying that anti-globalisation demonstrators were involved too? And if, not why not? You can't have it both ways. Either these exercises had real people involved or they were on paper. So which was it?As Power explained, the London bombing scenario was in fact one of three explored: another looked at the disruption that might be caused by unruly anti-globalisation demonstrators. In no case was there any real mobilisation of physical or human resources, which makes the case for 'planned' intelligence alibi look awfully flimsy, if not downright silly...
In fact, the 'exercises' he spoke of on Five Live were carried out purely 'on paper', or at least PowerPoint, by a small group of seven or eight executives (Power remains tight-lipped about the client) seeking to examine the impact on corporate decision-making of a potential crisis situation. As Fintan Dunne, editor of BreakForNews.com points out, 'these types of private-sector "risk management" drills never use field staff.

And what the fuck does it matter what this conspiracy-desperate, selectively quoting, sloppy journalist thinks?squeegee said:Michael Chossudvsky claims that Atlantic Blue drill was carried out by Peter Power and involved hundreds of people in the London Underground.
editor said:Has he a single scrap of evidence to support any of his assertions?

neither of us can know for sure.

If. If. If. Why the fuck should anyone waste time taking the words of a selectively-quoting, agenda driven, conspiracy-desperate, research-lite US journo seriously?squeegee said:But if Atlantic Blue did happen and PP was involved it would be reasonable cause to ask PP about the client and drill carried out on 7/7 no?
