I was just about to ping you to this story.

Unbelievable, eh? I don’t know if you heard Rep Peter King earlier- he was on FOX with Jamie Colby. He seems to have some inside knowledge about why Detroit might be a target- but he was very hesitant to go further than that...

What a nightmare- and apparently there’s some question about the type of explosive it was- something “new” that evaded detection- also- it may have come from Yemen.

Well, Detroit has a huge Muslim population. I missed the Peter King interview and I won’t have the TV back now until after the Charger game.

VP Cheney said we will get attacked by terrorists. I’ll bet Obama thought about Cheney’s words today.

It’s starting to look like there might be more than speculation regarding the Yemen-alQ threat to strike back at US for bombing al-Q in Yemen.
