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.

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.

We can't keep everything in sight. There's way too much. Someone else mentioned that the 15th is Independence day for ... India? Kashmir? I don't recall.

[HipShot]

Maybe we should break that out as an "other players" thing. I love your summary; don't lose track of anything because you're trying to collect too much.

Thanks for your hard work.

Yeah, they caught Maswood's hand in the cookie jar alright.

... Part 4 ...

Just came back from outside. It's a light rain so far. Some wind.

Haven't heard anything new on the tire fire. I would think the rain would douse it :-) ... (Funny, when I first heard of the tire fire, I thought of "The Simpsons" and how they've had a tire fire that's lasted for years.)

Every TV and radio is on in this building. Everyone has cell phones. It is noisy here. It's worse than election nights.

The folks in our Charlotte County bureau were told to drive back to Sarasota, to get out of Charley's path. They pleaded to stay. Their building is an old bank building, and they said they could stay in the bank vault. Bad, dumb, stupid idea ... fortunately, they were talked out of it.

I feel like I'm writing a blog. There's nothing to do right now; we can't put the paper out yet, so we're just sitting around. Writing this is keeping me busy. Thank you for tolerating my ramblings.

One of my co-workers is visibly upset. His girlfriend is visiting, and he didn't want her to be alone in his apartment. I offered him our house for refuge; his girlfriend was very thankful for the offer, but my co-worker decided to drive her down last night to his friend's house in Fort Myers. He thought she'd be safer there. Now he's seriously regretting it. He can't beat himself about that; nobody - not even the best metereologist in the world - can truly know what these storms will do.

Damn, now they say Charley's moving a little north and tracking toward Venice. Now THAT's much closer to us. It's literally changing by the minute. Charley's so unpredictable.

Yeh, perhaps a 'conventional' threat vs unconventional/terrorism summary.

Hey, your an editor, save these posts as fodder for a follow-on story/editorial......

[HipShot]

Thanks for enduring. There's no way for me to help you other than to be here hanging on your every posting.

I wish there was some other way for me to serve you.

Several of my coworkers and employees have family in Ft. Myers and Tampa. I'm keeping them abreast via your "on the ground" and nwctwx's monitoring.

Make sure that you've got a plan and that supplies are inventoried and distributed BEFOREHAND. It's too late when TSHTF.

This case might be interesting. Time will tell.

The storm sounds like it is bouncing off the coast and the jet stream - that make sense?

[Velveeta]

You go ahead and keep rambling.

We'll go ahead and keep praying for you all.

[drymans wife]

Our prayer are with you and all of Florida. Stay safe.

[Godzilla]

Holy cow, how did I miss the nuclear engineer reference!?

[angcat]

LOL!

[HipShot]

The link between organized crime and politics in Russia that was posted yesterday sheds a different light on the alleged sale of suitcases to OBL.

The latest actions by the chicoms, "800 missiles aimed at Taiwan by 2005" (less than 4 months), promoting anti carrier experts, etc looms large.

[Cindy]

Yes.
This could be an interesting investigation.
We'll see.

[all4one]

I meant a new trend regarding sabotage to oil supplies, etc.

But I do recall the "news" suppression thing. I think that to a certain extent that has been happening for at least the last six months, or more. Just from my own perspective, I will see a story and try to find out info...and that story literally disappears and "maybe" I find info. later and maybe not.

[Cindy]

Neither do I.
It was part of a post/thread.

... Part 5 ...

Channel 8 weather guy just said they've confirmed three tornadoes that touched down in DeSoto County - that's east of here, around Arcadia. Just one of the many things to be concerned about during any hurricane.

I'm seriously hopped up on caffeine.

Darn thing looks like it's just moving along the coastline. Boca Grande now could be a major target - that's a favorite vacation spot for the Bush family. They often stay down there.

Rain is getting much heavier. Winds picking up. I may go out briefly and check on things.

Channel 8 has a thing called Viper Radar - it's very detailed. I've never seen anything like it.

Once a storm gets this big it can do what it wants in regards to track. I think it is indeed following the warm water off the Gulf Coast at this time. Steering currents are still mainly from the south right now and should allow it to basically move north. It's so close to the coast that any small deviations will mean quick landfall.

I'm not sure what that Bay north of FT. Myers is, but that area is going to be very badly hit. The surge with this thing is already causing lots of problems along the West Coast.

It's really a shame that no one was apying much attention to this storm a few days ago, it had biggy written all over it from the start.

I guess the hope now is that it will find the least populated region to hit. That said, it's giving a good area a pretty strong hit. The saving grace is the fact that the area of strongest winds is pretty small.
