Baloney. Everyone knows CTU is in L.A...
This may be fine. Doesn't say enough to really hurt and shows the different depts that we know exist are actually working with each other. That did not happen before 9/11
Interesting. I counted 6-7 CIA types etc. whose names were 'revealed' in this article!! Just one more example of the ridiculous nature of the whole Valerie Plame game!!
The boogeyman checks his closet for Jack Bauer before going to bed every night.
Jack Bauer doesn't sleep. He merely waits.
And is frequently infiltrated.
If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Myers, and he had a gun with only two bullets...he would shoot Hitler and Stalin so as to spare them the sight of what he would do to Nina.
Uh oh, wait until Nancy Pelosi hears about this! They'll be looking for work as 'garbage engineers'.
"And is frequently infiltrated."
Bingo! My thoughts exactly while reading this whole article. The more places that the gov has that gathers this stuff, the more likely it is for moles to 'gather intelligence' at various junctions in the whole apparatus!
With your permission...I have a new tagline.
This is all well and good, but Al Sadr is still alive. We have too many brains and not enough balls.
Existence of the threat book has been widely known since the early days of the Cold War. The contents come from a variety of sources, none of which I'll mention here, and is compiled in final form by a committee. Some presidents read it carefully, eg: JFK, Bush 41 and, during the dust-up in the former Yugosolvia, Clinton. Other presidents have merely asked the briefing officer if it contained anything especially of interest that wasn't going to be in the later DOD brief-- LBJ. Nixon and Reagan gave it cursory look and--I don't have any idea what GWB does.
Not related to article: I have seen lists of these "little-known facts" relating to Jack Bauer, Chuck Norris, and (the funniest one) VP Cheney. Where did these start, and about whom was the original?
This is the scarey stuff...so when an idiot reporter asks the President how the war on Terror is going...he could probably scare the pants off of him if he wanted to....
We won't and should never know whats in that book..or told at the daily briefings.....and yes the President has..at least this one deos..has a daily briefing..
man, sounds like a bureaucratic nightmere if I ever saw one...
It is my understanding that GWB receives a Threat Matrix debriefing nearly each and every early morning since 911.
