re post no 1016

That's a good point R. Scott EXCEPT that those of us who have learned the lessons from history, specifically 9-11 know this:

1. Chatter increases before an attack (anywhere in the world).
2. Warnings often are given before attacks.
3. A lot of the Jihadi B.S. posted on the internet is just jihadi propaganda -- but not all of it is.

I'm a little upset that there is NOTHING from Homeland Security on this.

My imagination is going a little haywire here, thinking that there might be a 3x simultaneous nuking of NY, DC, LA on Nov. 9th... or a radiological device or something. I am seriously considering whether I want to be in the city that day... and I am not at all someone who gives credence to this kind of thing.

What's a sensible person supposed to do here?

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.
