Today on "Fox News Live," former FBI Special Agent Harold Copus said that the summer of 2004 will be remembered as the "Summer of Terror."
Anchor Gregg Jarrett told agent Copus that Tom Ridge said special attention will be focused on stopping terror attacks on rail, air, hazmat shipment, chemical facilities and the electrical grid. He asked if all of those were vulnerable.
Copas said, "They certainly are."
"For the last six months or so ... we keep hearing chatter and information that's filtering down ... you should really be concerned about some of the things you've discussed."
Jarrett also mentioned that outgoing Spanish President Aznar told President Bush to beware of possible pre-election bombings in the U.S., and Condi Rice seconded that concern yesterday. He asked, "Will that happen?"
Agent Copus said: "Let's hope not. But I suspect that we will see activity." He added, "We've continually underestimated them, now it's time for us to go on the offensive, and let's go look for these guys."
Jarrett said: "I'm still stunned by what you said ... Summer of Terror. Can we stop it?"
Agent Copus replied: "I'm not sure that we can always stop it. We're wide open as a country, we still continue to need to be that way, and want to be and should be. Because of that, we allow ourselves to be open to an attack."
He also thinks another opportunity for an al-Qaida attack will be this summer's Olympiad, in Greece.
Oh, well, the guys they would send to check me out may well have seen me already at some of the local picnics and other informal gatherings I have attended over the years. One of the main differences between us, though, is that I never got around to discussing in much detail my comparatively boring line of work and private-sector affiliations...... 8~)
if you ask me we don't underestimnate them at all. We give them too much credit. I expect they'll try something this summer or right before the election...I don't expect it will be succcessful though. We've gotten pretty good at thwarting them. Doesn't hurt to be careful but I don't see any sense in getting people all worked up over a "Summer of Terror".
If the President did, Rush's ratings would shoot through the proverbial ROOF!!!
(SNORT!)
Earth to Al Goron!
You have zero legal authority to tell GW to do anything.
You have zero legal authority to tell any Americans to do anything.
yeah I'll never get elected to public office after all the rants I've posted on Freep.
But hey! He's still re-inventing government with no controlling legal authority! (speaking of zero legal authority)
An attack on the park across the street from my place will teach them very quickly how well armed my neigbors are. My model 1300 Defender with 9 rounds of triple-ought buck will do nicely at 100 feet or so...
Problem is, I'll have to be careful. I have many neighbors with black hair, darker skin and black mustaches. Hopefully the bad guys will be yelling "allahu fubar" or wearing ski masks.

Actually, Year-around Schooling is more common now than ever and the Summertime is still primo Kiddies in the Park Time, USA.

I'm sure your husband and others have reported this information to their base commanders.
You may want to consider cross reporting it at:

Hopefully he will avoid a sommer of "shrinkagr"!
"summer"... I'm huked on fonix!
It’s all a plot to scare people into staying home this summer. With a less than expected demand for gasoline, the prices will drop low enough I can take a vacation.
The “children” playing in the parks in my area are better armed than the terrorists.
Ed Dames is more believeable than those two.
Really would like the proof on this.
Doesn't algore look more and more like Bela Lugosi? I know, I know...that is an insult to Bela for sure. Sorry, Bela.
The Goron becomes more repulsive and scary looking every time we see a new photo.
