The government has never been this proactive on homeland defense, and for them to be doing so on Christmas is rather troubling.
It's like we're in the middle of Tom Clancy plot, only the type is in white ink. We can't see anything.

I agree, Dog, I'm having serious concerns at this point. Truly believe there my be some VERY specific intel at high levels.

It makes you wonder which is worse.
Knowing what could happen.
Or not knowing and being out here in the general public wonderign.
Let's hope that we are ready to react to anything and even more proactive to stop the hairballs.

They know the cities that are targets sounds like...I pray to God HS can prevent any and all attempts of terrorism.
I think they should give all Americans more info. We are adults and we all can be useful in being vigil.
IMO our Govt. should not keep this info from us. It's frustrating being in the dark.

From one Tom Clancy fan to another, I wish I didn't know what you were talking about and I wish that I didn't agree with you completely.

A voice from the wildernes.... Hi DG.
I have been busy (as usual), Something has just clicked.
Assume al-Qaeda HAS acquired tactical (suitcase) nukes. Assume NEST (Nuclear Emergency Search Teams) has clandestine surveillance set up in most major metropolitan areas. You know, BIG cities. BIG targets
So, not being stupid, AQ decides to "nuke" some Mashed Potato Falls, out of the way, podunk town. One where NEST monitoring is not likely. One where beer drinking is a major crime wave. At the top end, maybe Des Moines, IA. (Demo primary heaven). In any case, it would have to have a population in excess of 10K. It HAS to have the potential to provide bodycount in excess of 9/11.
It has to be in the "heartland", and be able to provide a long residual effect.
I am reminded of UBL's words from Feb. that he will martyr himself in the "belly of the Eagle".
Whether he is dead or not is irrelevent. IF (notice it is a big IF), AQ has a tactical nuke, IF AQ was successful in getting it through the border (Mexico most likely), IF they vaporize a rural community, ALL they have to do is intimate that UBL personally delivered the device.
'Voila, instant Islamic martyr.
If he is currently dead, then he is thought of as an Islamic hero, not wormfood in an Afghani cave. If he IS still alive, He can go into deep hiding, emerging in a couple of years.
Of course the question begs, why a rural podunk town?? Easy. To demonstrate that NO ONE is safe. Not anywhere not anytime.
Recent offical activity has me a bit concerned. I am not a tin-foiler by nature, but, this time they have my attention.
