CNN just reported breaking news at the top of the hour..... that a new threat has been recieved by the US in the last 48 hours to use an aircraft to attack either Washington DC or LA. The flights mentioned are Air France and British Airways. CNN is reporting that this threat has been judged to be credible .......and not rehashed intelligence from last months warnings.

What's the purpose of broadcasting intelligence information? Seems to me to be grossly irresponsible. For one, what can we do about it and second, why alert the terrorists that we're on to them?

Eventually they're going to figure out how we keep finding these things out and adjust their strategy accordingly. Finally, the LAST people who should be trusted with sensitive information is CNN.

No problem. Just put out word that if any terrorists strike mainland USA or American interests, we'll nuke Mecca. Oops, can't do that, Bush is too busy courting the immigrant vote in an election year.

Fox doing a (real) News Alert saying Fox has been told by Homeland Security about these threats.

Shep listed the flight cities to and from but I couldn't type fast enough.

Surprised no posts yet about illegal aliens or spending...Seem to work their way into everything on this site.

There's one relatively new FReeper who should get an award for being able to drag those issues into every single thread. I wouldn't put it past him to try hijack a prayer thread with his anti-Bush posts.

I intend to do just that. I refuse to alter my life one iota for terrorists, but that's just me.

I'm with you on that count. I use these terror alerts as a reminder to clean all my guns and rotate my ammunition.

Bring 'em on. It's about time they learned what the true meaning of terror is.

From FoxNews website:

European Airliners Again Target of Threats

WASHINGTON — New intelligence indicates that British Airways (search) and Air France (search) flights to the United States could be terrorist targets, U.S. officials said Friday.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stressed there are no specific details and no plans to cancel or delay flights.

A senior law enforcement official said the intelligence is similar to that regarding the two airlines during the Code Orange (search) threat alert over the holidays.
