He is a nutjob who I hope will see the light before 9/11 and cancel his event, which will surely have more media cameras than supporters.

With such a small congregation. I dont know why this is newsworthy.
I think the media are being somewhat irresponsible.
General Patreaus has already stated that this event will endanger his troops. I will say that coverage of this event is the problem. Not the event itself.
Im not saying that the news should censor itself in the interests of national security. But this kind of story belongs in a local newspaper with city or town officials commenting on it. Not something that world news networks run, inviting worldwide attention.
