1. Chatter increases before an attack (anywhere in the world). Yes, chatter on telephones, Emails and various other sources of intelligence.
2. Warnings often are given before attacks. Yes, but most warnings are bogus – an attempt to instill fear in the targets and make them waste resources. Remember that traditionally Al Quida has given no warning. Any warning from them is likely bogus.
3. A lot of the Jihadi B.S. posted on the internet is just jihadi propaganda -- but not all of it is. Most of it is B.S.

Hello Mr. Scott. Answering your comments point by point.

Re. point No. 3: I agree. "Most of it is B.S."

Re. point No. 2: You may want to investigate 9-11 documents/archived info sites that do show Al-Qaida did give veiled warnings, ie the Calendar, numerous web sites with their postings on forums, graphics "with messages" etc. Of course, this is all hind-site, too. Now all this is known and documented.

Al-Qaida is not like ELF. Elf gives out press releases to the media after almost all of their dastardly deeds, Al Qaida doesn't.

Re. point No.1: It is my understanding that "chatter" includes all forms of communication methods. The internet is included as a communcation source (especially forum boards and web sites) and should be perused daily.
