[BC] White House Just Evacuated

[David Reaves]

Well, at least the Federal government appears to have been well  
warned. Small comfort if you were one of the Washington millions NOT  
working for the The White House, Supreme Court or Congress. The D.C.  
City government, and the civilian population were for the most part  
left out of the loop. Even the mayor (two blocks away from the White  
House) says he didn't know about any alert until the whole ordeal was  
just about over.

Not sure what they could have done, in any case. Scream, I guess. :-)

Like they say on the Tube in London, "Mind the wrap...er, gap!"
