Wow, you guys are still going.

My little one flies home tomorrow.(27th)

I'm a little concerned.Not at home, just her long flight from Fl to RI over every potential target.

I've been watching the local Mosque. Haven't seen any activity at all. Only the occaisional car parked in the back almost out of sight. Would have thought there'd be something going on for Ramadan.

Have quizzed the local cops and the ones from neighboring town. They have heard nothing from Homeland.

They say they hear more from me than anywhere else as I share what sounds promising from FR.

Stay safe, and have a happy Thanksgiving.

The latest from NEIN (as of this morning) - I make no claim as to the veracity or reliability, just posting it for reference and information.

UPDATED INTEL FINDS & ANALYSIS

Increased Threats of Terror Attacks In The United States

26 November 2003; 0600 EST-- UPGRADED TO "WARNING STATUS:" Analysts at the Northeast Intelligence Network have found a disturbing convergence of data pertaining to possible attack operations within the US. On 22 November 2003, analysts found communications that identified the importation and use of ambulances in Iraq as a method of delivery of explosives against military and other targets. Additional information buried deeper in postings on the same jihaddist forum also referred to the use of "trickery" in terms of "outfits" (strict translation) or uniforms (more appropriate translation) relating to the use of ambulances by terrorist operatives. Concurrent with those posts, we found oddly placed references to an attack on the US peppered within the same grouping of messages.

Northeast Intelligence Network Analyst Analyst Sean Osborne noted that Dr. Robert Koontz, PhD, had suggested indications of the possible use of ambulances for the same purposes here in the United States as indicated here. Citing Dr. Koontz:

"I am thus cautioning all security personnel, most especially policemen, but also security personnel around important facilities, such as nuclear power plants, to be alert for a potential terrorist’s ruse that would employ ambulances."

Based on an extensive re-evaluation of the oddly placed Arabic posts in conjunction with the methods being used in Iraq by terrorists through the collective efforts of all analysts of our network, we are unanimously convinced that the advisory issued by Dr. Koontz is not only valid, but must be made known to all security and law enforcement personnel throughout the United States, effective immediately. Accordingly, the Northeast Intelligence Network urges all security personnel and law enforcement agencies to read the full advisory of Dr. Koontz at this link.

ADDITIONAL: Analysts have also found a number of references to "transportation vehicles," especially taxis, and "cargo vehicles," such as vans and trucks used by nationally recognized private couriers that would also indicate their use in an effective delivery of "car bombs." Both ambulances and private courier vehicles, driven by individuals wearing appropriate uniforms previously purchased or stolen, would make effective "Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices" (VBIEDs) unless proactive measures are taken. Specific targets include but are not limited to: US military bases, federal buildings, airports, power plants, federal and state prisons, shopping malls, stadiums, and all public events where there are a large number of people. --Douglas J. Hagmann, Director

>>>Would have thought there'd be something going on for Ramadan.

End of Ramadan celebration is done at a facility outside the traditional mosque. By me, they rent space at a Ukrainian Catholic Church. From my understanding, this is typical among the other mosques.

Is your little one travelling alone? May the Angels fly with her/him and bring her/him safely to you.

Mother bird to baby bird, fly safe!

My 12-yo will be flying soon.. I flew at 6.. I'd never let a baby fly before 21!!!

Ya gotta let 'em fly.... Happy Thanksgiving!
