U.S. embassies in Muslim world reopen amid still-murky threats
McClatchy ^ | August 11, 2013 | McClatchy Foreign Staff

(snip) A high-ranking Yemeni security official speaking on the condition of anonymity told McClatchy that the claims of a foiled plot had no basis in fact. That source bemusedly attributed media reports about imminent terror strikes to a single official’s comments, which he cast as a misguided attempt at shifting public opinion in the face of increasing and unpopular American drone strikes.

Indeed, Yemen has remained at a relative normal – except for increased security measures that sent spy planes over the skies of Sanaa and flurry of apparent drone strikes to points farther afield. The most recent drone attack killed at least two suspected militants in the southern province of Lahj Saturday evening.

(snip) Eighteen of the 19 U.S. embassies and consulates reopened Sunday after being shut down for a week across the Islamic world because of a terrorist threat.

I’m confused... does “Murky” mean we are we code yellow or code red?

Like Fast & Furious the plan was to hide the true reason for itself.

Fast and Furious was to take away our 2nd. Amendment rights.
This closing of the Embassies was to make us forget the NSA spying on us.

Hey Jihadis! we revealed to the world all kinds of data we shouldn't have about your planned attacks.

We let you know how we tapped into your telephone conference calls and with whom you were all speaking.

We compromised all kinds of INTEL sources and HUMINT people working with us.

We told you when we are closing and for how long and we are now publicizing when we are open again so feel free to attack us when convenient for you, ok?

Not so murky... we now know that 400 American Missiles missing in Libya may have been the reason... even sewage water will become clear if the sediment is allowed to settle to the bottom... we are starting to see the truth and it is ALL OBAMA’S FAULT!

What it means is that since there were no attacks on those embassies, the president must have AQ on the run. Sell, that’s what his advisors and the press will say.

Yeah. They ran to the Sinai and fired a rocket at Israel.
