"As recently as two weeks ago, the intelligence community was telling the Homeland Security Department that this felt a lot like the summer of 2001. "[We're] seeing lots of data, lots of information coming together that paints a very disturbing picture."

Enough said. Be vigilant!!!

Indeed. The EBS alerts (NYC) have been coming fast and furious.

I also heard that Santa Claus is installing a flare and chaffe dispenser on the sleigh. In addition he has been seen interviewing "Simon the Stealth Raindeer".

Actually, I'm sort of surprised this hasn't happened several times already.

"Recent intelligence has counterterrorism officials increasingly concerned about pre-holiday terror attacks against soft targets, such as shopping malls"

Obligatory holiday cover yer ass warning. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

I'm not the least bit concerned about terrorists, since my mall is a Gun-Free Zone™. I know this because there are signs prohibiting the carrying of weapons posted at every entrance...

**"[We're] seeing lots of data, lots of information coming together that paints a very disturbing picture."**

Extra prayers for all at Christmas time.

[Quix]

Why do you think it is that only CNN was given this info? Who is this so called source? My feeling is that if this were true you would be able to find the story on other news networks. My bottom line:: No one else is reporting this and I feel CNN is trying to slow down the holiday spending to make Bush look bad.
