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 will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat."

I firmly believe that the American people have said the WOT is a very important issue and they are ready to face this battle. It will now heat up. The line has been drawn. The WOT and, consequently, the security of the world is in play. In other words it's in our hands.

Agreed completely. I was very worried that Kerry was going to end up as our president, I know he would not be good for this war we are trying to win. The coming days/weeks may be interesting. I just hope Kerry/Edwards concede tomorrow... it's time to get back to business.

Potential situation emerging. OH to be challenged and IA count suspended.

Bush is at 249 (minus OH)

If he can carry IA (7), NV (5), NM (5), and HA (4), then this will end (we get to 270).

At this moment (1:20am CST), these are the numbers:

IA 96% counted 720,603-709,026 (Bush)
NM 97% counted 270,533-242,012 (Bush)
NV 56% counted 281,385-276,252 (Bush)
HA 0% counted 69,298-55,372 (Kerry)

There was a reason Cheney went to HA and Wesley Clark went to NV at the last minute this evening.

If we don't nail these states (so we don't need OH to get to 270), we are in for another FL in OH.

Others may see this second electoral crisis as an opportunity (or a sign like lightning striking twice) to exploit perceived confusion.

We will know later this morning how irresponsible Kerry wants to be with this.
OH and IA are not good early signs. If this doesn't resolve within 12 hours, we may not have a result for days.

"This is no ordinary time for America. We've all seen the tape of Osama bin Laden recently. It's a reminder that we are engaged in a global war on terror. This is a conflict we did not choose, but it is one that we will win. We're standing just a few miles from Pearl Harbor, the site of a sudden attack on the U.S., on Sunday, December 7th, 1941. That day our peaceful country found itself in a global struggle that would last four years and would test our patience and resolve as a nation. Fortunately for us all, a great generation of Americans was more than equal to that challenge. They pulled together in freedom's cause, threw back aggression in a two-front war, and aided the rise of democracy in Europe and the Pacific."

I just heard a TV introduction of John Edwards as "the next vice-president of the United States."

I saw that as well. The only word I could relate to it was surreal.

Are these people on crack?

Either that or mushrooms, it was a good year for chantrelles.

a good night's sleep and they'll hopefully see the light!

They're in a black hole, their light has gone out.
