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 just don't understand why it would have been authenticated and played tonight if there are seemingly simple to notice mistakes such as spelling.

The thought occured to me during my commute home. Some of the most obvious things can be hidden in plain sight. Take for instance the Rathergate memos. The error was in plain sight. I this tape, the English speaker would have attracted the most attention - out of the ordinary - thus garnering most of the attention. The Sahab markings and rest could be cosmetic as the most intense examination would be on who the speaker was and what he is saying. Kind of like a sleight of hand trick too, misdirect one's attention to what you want them to see.

Now the only thing left is how it got into ABC's hands, particuarly in view of the CSM article.

I browsed a bit and didn't see this posted...is Jill's site going away?

You are wonderful, LG2!

From what her posting says, I'd say the answer is yes. Haven't communicated with her in a while to get any other details.

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


On another thread someone mentioned this breathing pattern was typical of meth users. Given the news story last week about the Beslan terrorists being on drugs this might hold some water.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Blood flowing on the streets...

Then the next post after yours, 2583 linked to Jill's site, which contains some very serious assessments of the current terror.

Also, another article, which talks about months of chatter suddenly going quiet is alarming, rather than reassuring, because that was the same pattern before 9-11-2001.

Do you know if there has been any analysis/speculation as to the identity of the bull's face? Kinda resembles President Bush, if you ask me...

[Domestic Church]

Churchill once said something along these lines..."not liberal in your 20's, no heart; not conservative in your 40's, no brain."

You must have a good mind for connecting the dots if you're swinging toward the right in your early 20s.

Very good question, on top of that in Pakistan. Wonder what are the ties to Pakistan?

Except every few months they have a top, top, top Osman bin Whoever that jusssssssssst gets away at the last second.

Some of the most obvious things can be hidden in plain sight. Take for instance the Rathergate memos.

I agree with you about this general idea.

This has also been run through the CIA/FBI/whatnot. Any native Arabic speaker (I assume they have one or two on their staff) would be able to pick up grammar mistakes with great ease. I seriously doubt that they would only listen to the tape and ignore the words at the bottom of the screen.

Real or not, I am not sure this tape is significant in any way other than proving the fact that some of the people who hate us are not Arab.

The message is the same, the language is different.

[nwctwx]

I voted for Bush just a few months after my 18th birthday. I could never have registered as a liberal. :)

[FairOpinion]

Well, if the person is an American, who learned Arabic, like Johnny Taliban, that could explain the grammatical errors in Arabic.

"US intelligence officials believe the man on tape may be Adam Gadhan - aka Adam Pearlman, a California native who was highlighted by the FBI in May as an individual most likely to be involved in or have knowledge of the next al Qaeda attacks.

According to the FBI, Gadahn, 25, attended al-Qaida training camps and served as an al-Qaida translator."

Since Pelosi met with HAMAS leaders back in August it isn't that far fetched to link Kerry with terrorists...we've certainly touched upon this possibilty here on TM.

[Selene]

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.

I have not heard or watched the tape yet but your description reminds me of the supposed OBL audio tape that came out last year. I thought the voice sounded too young to be him (could have been his son). The same characteristics you mentioned were there, enthusiastic, heavy breathing. Doesn't OBL stick his fingers up while speaking? I bet OBL's son speaks english. He probably attended the finest french or swiss boarding schools.

[Domestic Church]

Most here would use the term liberal to equate with democrat.

[nwctwx]

True. Though, today's democrats are much better described solely as liberals IMO.

...I think I have no heart ;-)

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

Is anyone coming up with anything on the net? When stuff is going on I can usually find information in foreign news sooner and more detail than in our American news.

This is barely hitting our news and none in foreign news.

I know this broke late but it is hard to believe this video came all the way from Pakistan and only CS and ABC knew?

What are all the locals doing (catch my drift)?
