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.

YOU be the judge and get informed!

Connect these dots, now
Full Story

"We should have secured the Mexican border."

That could be the pitiful lament we hear from negligent U.S. officials if Al Qaeda pulls off an attack on the United States using weapons of mass destruction smuggled across our southern frontier.

Were that horrendous event to happen, leaders in the administration and Congress would be justly hit with the same question that was perhaps unjustly cast at them and their predecessors after the unprecedented Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: Why didn't they connect the dots?

THANKS for that correction and update penguino.

[SlowBoat407]

I had a vision a few months after 911 of OBL on a mountain top with his hands cupped. He did this little circle thing, like a spin kinda, and then put his arms out a released a butterfly.

While we're at it, I had a dream about a month before the GOP convention where I saw a number of AQ coming down from a snow-covered mountain under the skin of an elephant. They trekked down into a rocky gulley typical of the Afghan ranges and started following a riverbed. At first I thought it was a warning of some kind of infiltration into the convention, but that never came to pass, thank God.

I don't know what was in this guy's mind or even if he knew it was glued inside his shoe.

We'll see.

Indonesian Muslim cleric delivers edicts from Osama Bin Laden: witness


No surprise here. Search for "Abu Bakar Bashir" in the Jihad Watch archives. From China's Xinhuanet, with thanks to Anthony:

JAKARTA, Dec. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- Indonesian Muslim Cleric Abu Bakar Ba'ashir had delivered edicts from Osama Bin Laden to kill citizens of the United States and its allies in Indonesia, a witness said on Tuesday.

"Ba'ashir had delivered the edicts," said witness Nassir Bin Abbas to Indonesian court session here.


He said "Osama bin Laden urges Muslims around the world to kill American and its allies civilians."


Abbas said that Ba'ashir was head of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI),a militant group seen as the Southeast Asian arm of al Qaeda.

Santa Cleared to Fly in U.S. Airspace
Wednesday, December 22, 2004


WASHINGTON, D.C. — Federal safety officials have given Santa Claus (search) the go-ahead to fly his sleigh on Christmas Eve.

Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta (search) said Wednesday he knows how important the flight is to "good little girls and good little boys all around the world."

Mineta says the government asked for feedback from the public on Santa's flight application. He calls the response "overwhelming" -- millions of letters from children and even a few from what he calls "Santa scholars." One letter vouches for Santa as a "right jolly old elf."

Special red and green teams from the Federal Aviation Administration (search) have inspected Santa's reindeer-guided sleigh. It's been heavily modified to allow for round-the-world flights in a single night. That's what allows Santa to post fast delivery times year after year.

Santa promised his route won't interfere with air traffic.

Bethlehem's fate highlights dwindling community's woes

BETHLEHEM, West Bank -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Throughout Israel and the Palestinian territories, Christians are losing both turf and population. Squeezed between opposing sides in an intractable war, Christians are slowly leaving the holy land.

More than 110,000 Christians lived in the occupied territories before 1948, only some 50,000 remain. Bethlehem has the largest Christian community — with 27,000 — but it's in decline."

holy martyr worked in the building and therefore was perfectly recognizable at dinner time

Ugh. This turns the stomach.

Thank you for the translation.

Yikes!
That pic of the LNG tanker in Boston Harbor is STUNNING!

[Velveeta]

Dead scientist ping.

[Velveeta]

Heartfelt prayers for Aunt Clara.

[SlowBoat407]

There was a big controversy several years ago about the possibility of an LNG terminal in Hampton Roads. I can't imagine one being approved for an area like Boston.

[Velveeta]

Rice flour...don't leave home without it. LOL!

"Christian exodus from Holy Land"

Sad.
I've always wanted to travel to the Holy Land.
Perhaps someday it will be safe enough...

Back to ribaat.org and now they're saying:
________________________

Another source confirms that this was a truck like Islammemo indicated

Info Islammemo: It was a holy martyr (with a Iraqi police uniform), god willing, that drove a truck in order to penetrate the American base in Mosul.

Bush yesterday at a press conference seemed like a dog about to be slaughtered - by 18 deaths. I don't think it's a mistake to add a zero in order to explain his sadness and his chagrin in front of the cameras.

And one waits, god willing, for the video in order to confirm all.

[Velveeta]

Did you see that pic of the tanker?

Yeee gads! I had NO idea they were that big.

I remember this being a controversial topic for the Providence, RI area as well.
