My point is that he would make the same statements whether he was worried about an attack next week or whether he didn't think there was any possibility of attack (or any point in that contiuum).Therefore, it is not logical to infer what you did, that Farah was correct and we are in grave danger. We may or may not be. You cannot tell it from what he says. And what he and the administration DOES augers against them really feeling great danger.

You could only know what he is thinking if he or someone close to him told you what he is thinking. Other wise you are only assuming what he is thinking and saying. It is not reasonable for anyone to assume law enforcement officials are going to tell the public every bit of information.

I did not make any statement in my post #17 to you regarding Joseph Farah. Therefore you misinterpret my statement. The point is it is reasonable and prudent to consider at least the possibility terrorists could use a WMD in the form of nuclear weapons and prepare accordingly given that they have already used WMD's in the form of commercial jetliner fully loaded with jet fuel to kill large number of Americans on our own soil.

It's also reasonable to assume Chertoff has more knowledge of what terrorists are planning given the numerous intelligence resources under his authority.

Horsefeathers. Our entire conversation has been about post #1, in which you said:

Many people were skeptical because of the messenger was Joseph Farah. Now the messenger is Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff. I hope the new messenger will help people understand the threat is legitimate and heed his advice.

That non-sequitor was skewered and you're squirming away. What advice do you want us to heed? Run around screaming that the sky is falling? Or do something useful, like go to the border and try to stop real threats--and when are you going?
