Ridge to raise Terror Alert, news conf. 1:30 pm Eastern

Fox News-TV

[putupon]

announcement, nothing furthur

[WackyKat]

There is plenty of evidence that AQ has been trying to build up the number of "fair skinned people" within the organization. AQ comes in all sizes and colors.

You're right. I expect future attacks to involve white Muslims

[Aggie Mama]

I think he just pointed to that when he said that prior alert raising helped thwart attacks that were planned.

[goodnesswins]

"We have not raised the threat level in this country for six months....HS officials....are hard at work to increase security in your community....Americans should know that along with this announcement goes action....a specific plan....sharing information...."

[Catspaw]

Only on the ABC afffiliate in Green Bay.

Maybe I jumped the gun. Tom is on Fox trying to explain why they raised it. It seems they are still attracted to planes as a weapon. I just wish we could nuke these creeps ... the gov. knows where their HQ is. Heck let em meet those virgins.

Converts and Bosnians? Makes sense.

[cars for sale]

this is serious and they know something based in
fact......get some eyeballs all...if it looks weird , it is...........be safe, be vigilant, and be aware

[Catspaw]

Project Bojinka is still a favorite of al Qaeda.

[oceanview]

sounds very serious, but of course, separating "chatter" from specific information is hard. Ridge is correct, lets make the police focus on doing this jobs by raising the alert level.

[Miss Marple]

They have contacted governors. Private sector people resonsible for certain vital resources will be contacted and given specific information.

Sounds to me that information is given to those who need to know, and not the general public.

"the gov. knows where their HQ is."

Hmmmm....they have places everywhere.....what makes you so sure about your statement?

[blam]

". Tom is on Fox trying to explain why they raised it. It seems they are still attracted to planes as a weapon. I just wish we could nuke these creeps."

Has anyone heard anything conclusive about the FedEx plane fire?

[nmh]

"I think a LOT is being done that we're not told about, to thwart attacks . At least I like to think so."

Rest assured there it truth to your though. A NY cop we are friends with claims the police locally and nationally are hopping! There has been crap going on that doesn't make it to the paper.

[goodnesswins]

"your awareness and vigilance can help tremedously...suspicious packages, vehicles, etc.....review family emergency plans....."

[StarFan]

Wish he'd share what cities they're concentrating on.

Coach Groh requests all fans wear Orange on Dec. 27

"We appreciate so much the great support of our fans. It will be exciting to see the stadium glowing with orange. The "Wahoo Walk" to Scott Stadium before the VPI game was such a great success that we will do something similar in Charlotte."

Thank heavens I have a stock of fruit cake on hand. With a single case, you could live for months!

He said something about not broadcasting all of our plans to the terrorists.
