Speculation centered on catching the Buffalo active cell of U.S. Citizens..

IMO, these color-coded terror warnings are ludicrous and embarrassing.

This surprises me based on all that stuff that Jihad Johnny supposedly said about the next attack coming after ramadan (did I spell that right?), which is this weekend!!!

Jihad Johnny is a punk. The real question is, as a part of the plea bargaining process, there must have been a proffer that he submitted. Did the government check this out before the deal? I am assuming they did and felt there was something of value this guy could offer.

Meaningless tripe. The color coded chart, not your posting of the fact's! Whether it goes up or down is truely meaningless. Our border's are wide open, the illegal's are running rampant. 70 to 100K scum bag's, and no-one know's where they are, including those within our own border's. In fact, I would be more concerned with the fact that the "Threat Level", as far as the gubermint is concerned, has dropped, what's changed? Blackbird.

It's too bad this country doesn't have the diabolical fortitude to reduce the warning to nothing (green?), activate citizen militias throughout the country, and just wait for the goat-ropers to try something...
