no. why not? i m just saying if you have a boxing referee, weigh in. let s see if we get more responses on the school story or the boxing referee? i have no idea. the twitter. good morning to you all. good morning. hope you re off to a great day. listen to what came out over the weekend. it is not a matter of if but when. a shocking declaration by a lawmaker about the threat of terrorism in sochi. listen to this. i think this particular olympics, i ve never seen a greater threat certainly in my lifetime. i think it is a high-degree probability that something is going to something will detonate, something will go off, but i do think it s probably most likely to happen outside of the ring of steel in the olympic village. more than 70,000 russian
comment. it s monot a matter of if bu when. a shocking declaration by a top u.s. lawmaker about the terror threat in sochi. live from washington with what the government is doing to keep americans safe. steve? u.s. lawmakers say the games are probably safe and they are surrounded by a security zone that is being called the ring of steel. they are worried something could happen in the region that could cause a tremendous amount of destruction. according to the guardian newspaper the u.s. is watching security inside the tight zone with a command center. test staff with 150 security experts from three different government agencies. the region is a war zone where chechen rebels are. american officials are on high alert. it was a high degree
