WASHINGTON – The upcoming inauguration of Barack Obama is an attractive target for international and domestic terrorists, but U.S. intelligence officials have no information about specific threats to the Jan. 20 event.

An internal intelligence assessment, obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday, says the high visibility of the event, the presence of dignitaries and the significance of swearing in the country's first black president make the inauguration vulnerable to attacks.

I guess this means that Obama's buddy William Ayers is planning on going.

If terrorists are (have been) captured DO NOT force them to tell of any plans!

It is what the Obama Administration wants; to wit, be nice to them.

Be sensitive to their feeeeeeeeeeeelings. Read them their constitutional rights, provide them with taxpayer-paid attorneys -- anything they want so they do not feel uncomfortable. TIA.

What domestic terrorists? I hope we aren’t going to go back to the days of Clinton’s right wing militia kookiness. Why would Islamic terrorists want Obama dead or injured? He is going to be the best friend they could ever hope for.

For the eleventy-ninth time, this is NOT just any old mundane Inauguration.

The is the ASCENSION of The One (piss be upon him) to His rightful place as Dear Leader Of The Obamanation!

This is the time the Faithful have awaited, and they shall have pie!
