"You don't think they would be doing this, unless they did have credible information regarding chem, bio and nuclear threat."
Supposedly, there is credible information regarding an attack of this type. According to the Northeast Intelligence Network page of the NHS website:
"Specific intelligence obtained by this network determined the following:
1. There are four or five "teams" of terrorists, consisting of four or five members per group who already have, or about to acquire the same number of air cargo planes for use as missiles against US targets as they did with passenger aircraft on 9/11. Although it was reported by DHS that the aircraft are believed to be originating outside of the US, our information suggests that some or perhaps all are already within the continental United States, although their locations have not been confirmed.
2. Some or all of the terrorist groups are believed to possess some form of weapons of mass destruction, exacerbating the impact (or perhaps releasing the cargo in flight and prior to impact, depending on the nature of the WMD).
3. The targets include government facilities in Washington, possible strategic military sites in the US, nuclear power plants, and other sites that would create the greatest devastation and loss of life.
4. In conjunction or in addition to the above, evidence indicates the possession of a nuclear device, devices, material or materials already inside the continental US."
With regard to this information, I had also read that concerns included: (1) For NYC: weapons grade anthrax being distributed via remote control planes and from buildings; (2) For Washington D.C.: the possession of a nuclear device in the form of a suitcase nuke; and (3) that a major cable network would be tipped off of any event planned to occur in Las Vegas.
Unfornately, I don't remember where I had read this information. Therefore, the information I read could be quite wrong. However, the only 2 websites I had been reviewing were the Northeast Intelligence Network page of the NHS website and the website of Steven Quale, which can be linked via the NHS website, possibly the Northeast Intelligence Network page.

(3) that a major cable network would be tipped off of any event planned to occur in Las Vegas. This is important for all those who say that a Terrorist Would Never Give Heads Up, because 9/11 was a surprise. As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand bloviating words. It was the shocking images of the towers that will remain with those who were alive on 9/11 for the rest of our lives. The terrorists now WILL BE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE their attacks in time to get the news crews there for the photos.

It is helpful to give the link, where you are posting info from.
I am familiar with the Northeast Network and Steven Quayle sites, but not everyone is.
So for those, who are wondering where your info from your post #10 comes from, here are the links to the above two sites:
http://www.stevequayle.com/ http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/ (This is the Northeast Intel Network site, it's NOT, repeat NOT associated with the official homeland defense dept -- note it's .com, NOT .gov)

Northeast Intelligence Network and Steve Quayle as sources? C'mon. This is a step down from Debka. These are fronts for people selling surplus military survival gear, MRE's, gas masks, and other such tripe. Get a grip on reality.
This is as bogus as the "suitcase nuke" scenario and the shootdown of Flight 93.
