Credit: The Cabal 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.

With the nation on high alert for al-Qaida terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security is putting its border officers through "etiquette" classes to soften their image and make them less threatening to arriving foreign immigrants, WorldNetDaily has learned. |

Godzilla....thanks again for the great summary.
Thanks for explaining this. That makes sense that the oil companies also increased reserves and need to sell the refined product. I remember reading that China has secured oil contracts with OPEC in recent months that have not been favorable to the U.S. Is that affecting why prices at the pump haven't increased though? I don't understand that part of the equation.
High oil prices will eventually have the very effect that al Qaeda is trying to accomplish - wreck our economy. For every extra dollar we spend on energy, that's one less dollar spent fueling our economic recovery.
We won't hold that against you. LOL!
Stay safe out there! Prayers for you and yours.
Good luck to you JJ.
Praying for your safety and your co-workers and family members, etc.

Security at Reliant Stadium tighter Saturday
Associated Press
Security at the Houston Texans' preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys will be a little tighter than last year as law officers have been alerted to possible new terrorist threats and scrutiny has been raised by videotaping of Reliant Stadium and other Texas landmarks.
Fans at the stadium on Saturday can expect to undergo bag searches and pat-downs for weapons, said Shea Guinn, president and general manager of SMG-Reliant Park. (snip)

If you are nut so am I. I have 2 Dachshunds! I won't even go into how spoiled they are. One is sitting in my lap as we speak watching the computer.
Explosion, Fire Rocks BP'S Whiting Refinery
WHITING, Ind. An explosion and fire rocked B-P's Whiting Refinery along Lake Michigan this morning. Whiting police say one person was injured in the blast at about 6:15 a-m.
The refinery has its own fire department, and it put out the fire. Sgt. Donald Greer of the Whiting Police Department says the blast shook his house, which is about a mile away. The Whiting Refinery is the third-largest in the United States, with a capacity for more than 400-thousand barrels of crude oil daily. The refinery's Web site says gasoline makes up half of the 16 million gallons of products it produces. It isn't clear how the explosion and fire may affect production

Explosion, fire at B.P. Amoco refinery Plant firefighters respond to call
August 13, 2004 An explosion and fire at the Whiting, Ind., B.P. Amoco refinery plant led to tense moments Friday morning. Three employees were slightly injured.
The explosion occurred about 6:20 a.m., about an hour before the plant fills with employees reporting to work. A skeletal crew was there at the time and three employees suffered minor injuries. Following the explosion -- which blew a hole in the roof of the facility -- smoke poured from the plant. The plant's fire department responded immediately, managing to control the fire and keep it to an isolated area of that specific compressor. Crews have to let the blaze burn itself out before the investigation begins.
"We don't know where that leak occurred. Obviously until we get in and have access to the site, then we can do an investigation and understand that. And I should tell you we're committed at this facility not to restart facilities that have had fire damage until we understand the cause of the incident," said Stan Sorrells, BP Amoco Spokesman The closest homes are about a half a mile from the plant. The community was not affected. Meanwhile, the plant has moved operations from that compressor to another area of the facility.

Fire that Sank Rig Damages ENI-BP Platform off Egypt
By OGJ editors HOUSTON, Aug. 12 -- The fire that sank the GSF Adriatic IV jack up drilling rig in the Mediterranean Sea Tuesday (OGJ Online, Aug. 11, 2004) also spread to the Temseh natural gas production platform at which the rig had been working, causing "considerable" damage to the platform, said an oil ministry official.
All 150 platform workers were evacuated, but an oil industry source said Wednesday it would take 5 days to extinguish the platform fire.
Officials said the rig fire, caused by an overflow of natural gas during drilling, spread to the platform Tuesday, where it first was brought under control but later erupted again.
The platform 25 miles of Port Said, Egypt, is operated by Petrobel and owned by ENI SPA, BP PLC, and Egypt's General Petroleum Corp. It had been shut for maintenance since the start of the month.
Temseh field, which produces 150-180 MMcfd, is one of Egypt's largest gas deposits.
Stay safe and enjoy yourself!
This is a disaster about to happen, prayers need to be sent out to southwest FL... National Weather Service Miami now says surface winds will be updated to 145mph in special update. Category 4 system, equal in intensity to Andrew about 4 hours away from Landfall.
Prayers, indeed!
WOW, Charlie is huge.
I've yet to see any serious condemnation of terrorism by these groups that wasn't followed immediately by a condemnation of "profiling".
