Q: With all the talk about going to orange, was there ever any discussion, was the level of chatter ever serious or high enough that you thought of going to red?
RIDGE: When we convened those that we get together and have the discussion about the quality of the information and the kinds of actions we should take, whether or not we go up to orange or whether we go to more specific actions, no. I mean, but, again, I think it's very important to note that ever since 9-11, from the early morning hours when the president meets with the intelligence community and the attorney general and the FBI director and everybody else, there's been a continued focus not only on the war on terror abroad, but the war on terror and its impact in the United States.
