I can't decide if this is a legitimate warning, or if the intelligence community is convinced that there will be another attack of some kind at some point, and just wants to keep us on our toes.
The analysis in this article seems a bit stretched, so I'm inclined to the latter position right now. I believe if bin Laden had the assets to strike, he would have already used them, before all the stuff that's happened in the Middle East. After all, no matter what happens in the USA now, the Islamofascists are against the wall in most of the Middle East.

Oh, him.
Before that happens, we will see you in Hell sir!
Not that we will be there you understand, we'll just see to it that you are there. The heat will be a nice change from your cave in the mountains. :)
Ping to a good article.
I've heard from a higher up that the beat cops in NYC all have been issued gas masks..be careful out there!
Consider the source:
CIA-Head who was SUPPOSED to get Osama:
"I've known where Osama-my GREAT hero has been for years.
Why, if Osama only had the right lipstick he could easily replace
that American lowlife George Washington."
Even more incredibly, Scheuer's missives indicate that while at the CIA
he also had a big role to play in telling military officers
to ignore President Bush.
A full and very important thread on this is here
The President should have a news conference from a missle silo and announce that this and other US nuclear assets have been retargeted against terrorist elements as well as the cities of Mecca and Medina. Any WMD attack on the US by Islamic terrorists will be met by a nuclear responce. With the Kabaa as ground zero maybe a few Muslims might think twice.
With as close as the election was against a weak candidate like John Kerry, FReepers should bear no illusions; she would very hard to beat.
"Arguing that the U.S. policies perceived by Muslims as attacks on Islam have been in place for decades, bin Laden said it is clear that the American people as a whole approve of anti-Islamic policies."
I am tired of this reasoning. Bin Laden knows that the only reason Islam is a problem for the U.S. is because their governments do not separate church and state. They are one in the same. He plays on this to create the impression that it is a war on Islam. Unfortunately, his rhetoric is believed by radical Islamists and actually does foster anti-Moslem views in this country.
Obviously, Americans are not going to convert to Islam en masse and most are becoming very weary of his propaganda.
Complete security is IMPOSSIBLE and can not be achieved any more than bringing our country's murder rate to ZERO.
IMO it is only a matter of time before "something" happens.
More likely, the warnings are in lieu of any actual ability to attack.
This 'religion' must be wiped off the planet if they do this.
