Oh, that's just great.
Normally, I'd write this off as another 'net legend or hyperbole. BUT..check out the resume of the author. This guy is in charge of some serious stuff in Congress: (ref: Google)..
"Yossef Bodansky is the Director of the Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare of the U. S. Congress, as well as the World Terrorism Analyst with the Freeman Center for Strategic Studies (Houston TX)."
Bodansky has been around a while and IMO is someone to be listened to. Does it feel like things are heating up (again) or is it just my nerves as I have to get on an airplane Thursday morning?
