Just how dangerously incompetent is my government?

Another "TOPOFF" terror drill is set to be conducted, this one focusing on fictional dirty bombs in Portland, Phoenix, and Guam. (Guam?)

But what really caught me in this article is that they still haven't published the results from the 2005 TOPOFF exercise, one of whose elements was the release of pneumonic plague.

Tell me this doesn't sound like the drill went horribly wrong, and an ungodly number of fictional people died.

Yet even as this drill begins, details from the previous national exercise held in 2005 have yet to be publicly released — information that's supposed to help officials prepare for the next real attack....

According to a brief summary of the 2005 exercise — marked For Official Use Only, but obtained by AP — problems arose when officials realized the federal government's law for providing assistance does not cover biological incidents.....

"The most recent Top Officials (TOPOFF) exercise in April 2005 revealed the federal government's lack of progress in addressing a number of preparedness deficiencies, many of which had been identified in previous exercises," according to the White House.

It's not good for America when people know their government is dangerously incompetent. Gotta keep that quiet. It's a national security issue.
