Think about it...would a AQ foot soldier have this kind of info? This came from someone high up in the food chain I bet.
Of course.
We are fighting terrorizm on all levels in Iraq.
It's a war using top United States Millitary and CIA Intelligence Officers, of course all the media reports on is soldiers dying.
Y'know, the object of terrorism and the desire of terrorists is to instill terror. To that end, the threat will suffice. It throws people into a tizzy, daily routines into confusion, and causes expenditures of manpower and money. When the attack doesn't materialize, well, there we go, crying wolf again. The terrorists just go to ground until the security slacks off.
