Optimistic worry over Scott Air Force Base

For weeks the St. Louis area and especially the Illinois Metro-East area has been anxiously waiting the Defense Department's announcement of base closings.  Today is the day, actually this morning, the list will be published.  Navy Seals.com has a list that jumps the gun and a list they claim is what will be given out today.  Scott, the largest employer in the Metro-East is not on it.  Take a look and then see how it compares to the real thing.  Thanks Wizbang for the link.

Update:  Scott was saved and will actually be expanded as the base takes on duties and airman from bases which will be closed.  Local stories can be found here and here
