I have not tried to investigate the story but MarketWatch alerts initially had reports of the Coast Guard firing on a suspicious boat, then the Coast Guard denying shots were fired and describing it as a training exercise. They are of course not investigative reporters, but their alerts have been reasonably accurate in the past. It does strike me as odd that anyone would have a training exercise on the Potomac on Sept 11 (would it not seem people might already be nervous?) but what do I know...
