I don't know what to make of these events, do you? I am thankful our people are being so cautious, careful and vigilant.

I don't know what to make of it either....I just hope that people don't start regarding it as "much ado about nothing"....

Some will, with the assistance of some of our media, but the rest of us will be grateful and alert.

The sad and sick fact is that some people will never believe the legitimacy of a given threat, until that threat becomes a reality and by then it's too late. I look at the threats and know that many have been foiled, but that we'll never hear about them.

If they prevent something from happening, it MUST be treated as classified so we won't reveal HOW we knew. If they don't prevent anything, dems will scream "homeland security is a bunch of bumblers acting on failed intelligence... bush's fault."

Either way we are going to get nothing but bad press over this stuff.
I suspect they are getting something useful or they would stop following this course of action. It could also be a ruse to make folks think we are acting on one piece of intel, while we are actually getting ready to do something REALLY big in another arena.

I vote for the latter.
