I just don't see the point of them when all we're ever told is "go about your regular routine like normal."

In reading the report, prior alerts were fairly well correlated with bad guys being nabbed somewhere and did appear to have a disruptive effect on mission plans of the mohammedans.

The decision will be made later today.


My guess is the decision has ALREADY been made, reason for Mayor of NYC coming on at 4:00, after Tom Ridge. From that point it will be panic control.

I'm prepared to be on the fringes of a terrorist attack and to deal with the immediate aftermath. There's almost absolutely nothing any of us can do to prevent being a direct casualty, though.

About the most any of us can do in that regard is to try to avoid what might be considered tempting targets for terrorism.

Wow! Why haven't we heard about this? It seems like the feds are downplaying everything:

And video discs that Almosaleh claimed were just music actually had video of Iraqi radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his militia, along with calls for resistance against the United States, and video images of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and the invasion of Iraq, the indictment alleges.

Scary stuff, too.

5. Severe Condition (Red). A Severe Condition reflects a severe risk of terrorist attacks. Under most circumstances, the Protective Measures for a Severe Condition are not intended to be sustained for substantial periods of time. In addition to the Protective Measures in the previous Threat Conditions, Federal departments and agencies also should consider the following general measures in addition to the agency-specific Protective Measures that they will develop and implement:


Increasing or redirecting personnel to address critical emergency needs;
Assigning emergency response personnel and pre-positioning and mobilizing specially trained teams or resources;
Monitoring, redirecting, or constraining transportation systems; and
Closing public and government facilities.







I must be missing the mention of Martial Law.

Doesn't really inspire confidence, does it? No wonder Ridge wants out.

Fox just said New York is already at orange, so it would go to red! Don't know if the anchor meant that or not!

If we get to red, it's time to declare martial law and round up all Muslims for the internment camps.

....and close the borders...people on here are laughing..but there are THOUSANDS of them living among us. WHICH ONES ARE DANGEROUS?..

And the sick thing is..we don't want to hurt their feelings and NOT look compassionate. It is time to STOP calling this a GREAT RELIGION, and call it what it is. EVIL.

All I saw was "no change to red was considered" in the article.
