Part of Pentagon evacuated due to heavy smoke
 Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon was partially evacuated on Friday morning due to heavy smoke near a construction area in the main concourse of the U.S. Department of Defense headquarters, officials said.

Investigators found heavy smoke but no fire in a mechanical room on the fifth floor. There were no injuries, the department said.

"It's all contained. It's under control, but they haven't issued an all-clear yet," the spokeswoman said.

Pentagon police and Arlington County, Virginia, firefighters were on scene investigating.

7. That was my other choice
 But knowing the regime in power and it being an election year, my first thought was terrorist.
They are cranking that machine up on all fronts.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
