You know, if none of this comes true, we and FreeRepublic are gonna look pretty stupid in the morning.

Not sure what you're referring to, but the major premise of this thread was "validated" when the nation went on Orange alert and continues to be validated by the continuing focus on NY, DC & LA. Now, as to whether the particular freaks like "Daleel" and "EOM" are for real, that's been hotly debated and will continue to be so - either way, we're simply investigating a real phenomenon (someone out there in the ether is making these threatening posts)- but that doesn't mean we (as FReepers in general) endorse any one view. All we're trying to do is get a little more info than the old media and the government seem willing to give out. I don't see how that makes us look stupid, no matter what happens next.

Good post ... I agree.
