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!

Thanks Cindy.

Smiling... I've had a few such statements slung my way down through the years. My favorite: "I don't CARE if the IQ test said you're a genius, you have NO COMMON SENSE!" Mom's are such pithy creatures, aren't they?

[Oorang]

Your theory makes sense ladyjane.

My favorite: "I don't CARE if the IQ test said you're a genius, you have NO COMMON SENSE!" Mom's are such pithy creatures, aren't they?

My cousin Sam was the first "official" genius in the family- the first to score that high on a formal test- and his sister never missed an opportunity to knock him down a peg... like, "OK, genius-- you wanna help me wash- or dry?"

In a similar vein, whenever my Dad would counsel me that "There's no rest for the weary," Mom would mutter ( where he couldn't hear her, but I could ) "No rest for the wicked..."

I sure miss the old girl- she was quite a woman in her day.

Luckily, mine is still around, and I'm enjoying every single day we get to banter back and forth. See, she almost died back in the spring (as most here at TM remember) so even when she hits a nerve, I count my blessings and bite my tongue. She's very "up" on things (being a Fox News junkie) and I love having a window to the past to put modern-day happenings into perspective. Truth be told, she has me aced when it comes to intelligence, and is also blessed with the common sense I lack.

Cherish your time with her, for you will not pass this way again.

My wife's mother has entered the end of her life- has perhaps a year or two left- and I try to get them together as much as possible.

It really is a window into another world, talking to older folks. Our nieces view her dial phone with amazement, and her stories of the days before electricity ( outhouses, and hand-pumped water, woodburning stoves for heat & cooking ) like she flew in from another planet. But they do listen, and learn.

The War on Terror, 2004

COLLINS: For this week's "On Terror's Trail," we go to Washington where the FBI and Department of Homeland Security sent a new intelligence bulletin this week to the nation's police agencies. It outlined new details about al Qaeda surveillance inside the United States.

An al Qaeda operative, known as Al-Britani, is believed to have cased particular U.S. financial institutions for 9/11 planner Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. When we looked back on the year in the global war on terror Monday, CNN terrorism analyst Peter Bergen called the Britani capture the most significant terrorist arrest of 2004.

Disaster raises hope for Aceh peace
Saturday 01 January 2005, 8:57 Makka Time, 5:57 GMT

The disaster has focussed world attention on the region

Separatists fighting for Aceh's independence from Indonesian rule feel the tsunami that wrecked the region could eventually help in heralding peace.

Malik Mahmud, a leader of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the region's self-styled prime minister, on Friday said the international focus on Aceh - the area worst hit by the flood waves triggered by Sunday's earthquake - might benefit the rebels.

Mahmud, who lives in exile in Sweden, said Jakarta had tried to prevent the outside world from knowing about Aceh's independence struggle. "But now people abroad know where is Aceh, what is Aceh."
