HOUSTON, June 16 -- The Police News in Galveston County is quite interested in the secretive SWAT-style terror drills recently held at BP, Texas City. The law enforcement daily, edited by retired police officer Breck Porter, has published two articles about them:
US/BP Terror Drills
Area police conduct SWAT drills inside BP
The articles reference other suspicious BP, Texas City events that led W. Leon Smith, publisher of The Iconoclast, to write a March 3 editorial calling for an investigation. Sources from the Southeast Texas city, afraid that they are being set up, also want an investigation.
Thursday, the Beaumont Enterprise reported other dubious drills in Southeast Texas:

More ominously, The US Department Of Energy, often involved it nuclear terror scenarios, was also a participant in the terror drills -- and it's not returning calls, either.
