The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

Squirrel Zaps Power Along U.S. 1 In Melbourne

MELBOURNE, Fla. -- A squirrel left nearly 8,300 people without power Wednesday morning after it got into a Florida Power & Light Co. substation and shorted out the equipment, according to officials.

The power outage left customers and businesses without power in the Eau Gallie area at about 9 a.m., according to Local 6 News partner Florida Today.

Traffic lights along the U.S. 1 corridor were also out for thousands of motorists on their morning commutes, according to the report.

Power was restored by FPL by 9:15 a.m. after workers repaired equipment at a substation located north of Aurora Road and east of U.S. 1. The substation, about the size of a small house and protected by barriers, is used to distribute power to the immediate area.

"A squirrel somehow made it past the barrier and got into the actual electrical equipment and shorted it out," FPL spokeswoman Sandy Sanderson told Local 6 News.

"The animal was electrocuted," he added.

It was written by an extremely hostile woman. Makes me wish we could interrogate her to find out if she knows anything that would make her assert the following:

We need to ask the resident ground pounders. ExSoldier is probably the one to ask.

Unless our alphabets are gleaning information from these sites, hopefully they will quash them and prosecute the people responsible for them under cyber-security laws.

I have a feeling that the author of the article keeps the authorities well-informed of the cyber culprits.

" I hope our Base security here at home is as good as it is at The Green Zone in Bahgdad, Iraq. For all we know AQ could have an 18,000 person army here already!"

I'm usually just drinking decaf tea when I read TM but I had to go get a brandy & OJ after reading this.

Wasn't there something about Fort Knox being a target recently? And hasn't there been concern about Fort Bragg too?

There's only one relatively invisible way to move that number of people, and that's with 18 wheelers. We may need to be looking for convoys.

Off topic, but nevertheless important - JustPiper is once again a Grandma. Little Riley entered our world shy of 7# with beautiful brown hair. JP should be back by Sunday. She is elated with her new little granddaughter!

BTW, I think it was estimated at somewhere around 80,000 by ExSoldier, based on numbers of illegals and OTM percentage.

Follow-up or cover-up?

A flapping tent. Bottles of urine. Amid fears of a pre-election terror attack, jumpy Feds are investigating everything in their efforts to protect the first post-9/11 national political convention
WEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY
By Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball
Newsweek
Updated: 3:28 p.m. ET July 28, 2004

July 28 - The night before the Democratic National Convention was to begin, federal security forces in Boston went into high alert. A National Guard trooper reported spotting a possible parachutist drifting through the sky toward the "hard zone" security perimeter that surrounds the Fleet Center convention hall. Police radios crackled with urgent messages. Within minutes, local TV stations were reporting that two suspects were in custody.

The city buzzed with tension: had an Al Qaeda commando squad launched an air attack on the Democratic gathering?

In a secret bunker in the bowels of a nearby government building, officers of the Federal Protective Service, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security, quickly started clicking on their Web browsers, which have real-time links to 75 surveillance cameras positioned around the downtown Boston area. The browsers were loaded with software enabling monitors in the bunker to manipulate the cameras toward various angles and to enlarge the shots.

Within minutes, Ron Libby, the service's New England regional director, told NEWSWEEK, the camera operators had figured it out: The guardsman who thought he spotted a parachutist had actually seen a tent canopy flapping in the wind atop a nearby building. Radar showed no aircraft anywhere in the neighborhood. And the TV reports of "suspects in custody"? It turned out the TV stations had been scanning the Boston police radios. There had indeed been two suspects detained not far from the Fleet Center. But they weren't invading airborne terrorists. They were a pair of drunks picked up for disturbing the domestic peace.
