The Threat Matrix

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.

Ramadan terror concerns?
Full Story

ATLANTA (CNN) -- As more than one billion Muslims prepare to celebrate Ramadan, terror experts are mixed about whether the holy month is a tool for recruiting terrorists.

Some terrorism experts and Islamic scholars say Ramadan gives extremists an opportunity to enlist new recruits.

"It's a time which can be exploited by radical clerics to motivate individuals into taking action on the basis they are somehow serving their religion," says terror expert M.J. Gohel.

And analysts see another temptation for terrorists: exploiting the Battle of Badr, a symbolic date in Muslim history, which falls near the U.S. presidential election.

I almost felt sorry for this guy until I read this"

"Morgan, who left the Mirror in May after publishing faked photographs of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi prisoner, said he was not privy to inside information."

It's 'that' guy. Guess he's out looking for a job...yet again. What a dope.

Picking OPINION #3, please! LOL

re: "Still and Box w/ EMS Plan 1"

A request for multiple combined emergency units (fire, emt, police, etc.) with a minimum of:

5 Ambulances (ALS or BLS)
1 Engine
1 Truck
1 Battalion Chief
1 EMS Field Officer
1 Asst. Deputy Chief Paramedic

In general, not a happy landing. Could be they ran out of peanuts...

Take a look at this FYI.

He is definitely a dope, aren't all left wingers? Hee hee...

[Velveeta]

Only 2 incidents last week. That's reassuring.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

All I can do is offer continuing prayers for all of our troops and coalition forces in Iraq and elsewhere...it remains in God's capable hands.

If the tape was really found in Pakistan it is highly unlikely that an American college student made it. The fact that the online jihadis knew nothing about it makes me wonder if it came from an inner circle (maybe not ordered by UBL himself, you never know).

The language was almost exactly the same as the tapes broadcast in Arabic, many of the same topics were covered.

The fact that it is in English is creepy, much harder for everyone to ignore.

We better get a longer look at this thing though, small clips don't tell any real story.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Ian, I feel the same way about that miserly footage. The speaker appeared and sounded like any American. I did not notice an accent either. He sounded like someone who was unsure of his lines and inexperienced in front of a camera. His heavy gulping breathing is what I saw as affecting his speech, not an accent.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

it remains in God's capable hands.

Amen

[Donna Lee Nardo]

I don't mean to say that he did not know what he was talking about, but I mean that he acted and sounded similar to an actor who is a newbie and lacks comfort in front of a camera. His finger raising seemed scripted as well.

His heavy gulping breathing is what I saw as affecting his speech, not an accent.

Still desk bound (and unable to hear audio/video of tape excerpts) and wonder.......In addition to camera shyness, could it be that he understood the magnitude of the message IF and ONLY IF the message was a harbinger of nasty things to come. Hate to be pessimistic, but there are too many unorthodox things about how this tape has come out.

[JellyJam]

Did you notice the visual clarity of the video? It's nothing like the very-grainy other tapes that al-Jazeera aired.

Something fishy's going on.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

On another board soneone said the breathing was like some one doing meth.

[ZionForever]

how can i post pics that are on my hard drive? or do i have to upload them to my web site, and than post them....

[Rushmore Rocks]

I noticed a slight accent. He also pronounced "tyranny" as tie-ranny rather than the more accepted tear-anny.

Retired English teachers notice these things.

The scripted part seems to be a characteristic amongst most videos we see from them. All the beheading videos look the same (setting wise): there is a statement read off a paper, the deed is done.

I have two older as Sahab videos, one is of a man speaking Arabic and speaking in a very similar manner to this 'American.' The other is just a translation with no real video.

The excerpts played on ABC highlighted the exact main points we continually see come from al Qaida.

It's almost like it was made to confuse people. I bet most people will look at it and laugh wondering if this is the best they have got for us.

It's weird to see this in English with Arabic subtitles... It's like bizarro world. ;)

[Velveeta]

That's despicable.

The decision makers at ABC who withheld a threat from the CIA and FBI, should be arrested.

[nwctwx]

I noticed it just now on the clip they played on Fox News as well. I'm sure the CIA linguists know better than I do. ;)

[Donna Lee Nardo]

He didn't strike me as being camera shy at all; he struck me as someone filled with zest but it all seemed a bit scripted yet less than flawless.

Anyone who does acting or public speaking or meeting presentations will recognize that he was a tad nervous and this made him breath heavily, loudly and frequently. His nervousness came out in these ways; not in making him camera shy or hesitant.

Also, the way he stuck his fingers up at one point seemed entirely scripted to me. This is all just my opinion.
