NYT MONDAY: CHEMICAL PLANT IN SHADOW OF NYC 'LOOSELY GUARDED'; EDITORS ARGUE NAMING LOCATION

Editors at the NEW YORK TIMES are debating the merits of splashing a Monday scare story that will name "the most dangerous two miles in America" vulnerable to a possible terrorist strike.

NYT reporter David Kocieniewski has quietly filed a story, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT, naming a chemical plant that processes chlorine gas, so close to New York City that the Empire State Building seems to rise up behind its storage tanks!

The plant poses a potentially lethal threat to 12 million people who live within a 14-mile radius. Yet on Friday afternoon, it remained loosely guarded and accessible.

One editor is arguing how naming the plant could be seen as offering terrorists specific details on "weakness" in the nation's security.

One top source predicts a frontpage placement for the controversial story.
