Sheriff Hayseed justifies all the secrecy in the Post:

"If you tell the public, you tell the terrorists at the same time," Hagy said. If the Genesis Project gets a lot of public attention, he said, terrorists may also strike Frederick, hoping to disrupt the Genesis Project. "All those terrorists were educated right here in our own country, or a lot of them were," Hagy said. "We're not talking about stupid people here."

I know this post comes off as kinda glib, but the link to the Post article sheds a more disturbing light on this thing. Wouldn't an evacuation plan need to be well understood by those it is intending to evacuate for it to be successful? Surely one cannot rely on relaying information after the attack, since the chaos that would ensue would destroy any hope of people remaining calm and taking orders. I think what we have here is a local sherriff with delusions of gradeur (or at the least Ollie North). Secrecy is not only unwarranted in this case, but illogical and counterintuative to the aims of the plan. The more I think about this, the more outraged I become.

So does this mean the next step for Bush and company, once they beat the hell out of the Dem. political fodder, be it Kerry or whomever, that they will take on God and defeat him with their superior intellect and hairpieces?

Yes.
