Yeah, but while it's a NIMBY thing (the thought process of "gas prices affect me, while terrorism, well, not so much unless i live in NYC"). It's working counter the "flag-waving, patriotism, us-against-them" mentality. Plus, it's not somewhere on the east coast or California so it's not as sexy of a story. But since there's no attractive white female missing this week, it gives the news stations something to look at.
