I thought CNN said the AG will be there, maybe Ridge. Starting at 10:15 East coast time

[VRWC_minion]

That ought to be as reliable as the Washington Post reporting about a conservative.

I would rather watch Rummy. Where are you watching him?

[newsperson999]

wow that was short only on CNN for a minute of so...now to Rummy and Defense briefing

[hellinahandcart]

Flip over to Fox.

I'm watching it on CSPAN....it's still on. I can't hear a darn thing because the guy next door is getting his piece of grass cut, let me go turn it up.

[DJ88]

"Ashcroft the Terror warning was based on ..... info coming from detainees at Gitmo!"

Hm. So this was planned WAY AHEAD...in advance of their arrests. (well duh, DJ)....was it to be a massive "anniversary" of the FIRST ATTACK? How else would they know this?

[MarMema]

Please post what you see/hear.

[coloradan]

They could have known Feb 12 was an intended target date for months.

Sitting here in NYC, home of the 212 area code, hoping for an update. Any new info?

[DJ88]

It could be that it was planned ahead of time. Feb 12th. 5 month + 1 day after the first attack. I also heard that some of this information (via FNC earlier this morning) had been corroborated with information they had gotten out of Afghanistan, that's why it was so credible to them.

Holy cow! We're burried in snow! The thought of fresh cut grass sounds wonderful!

[DJ88]

He just pretty much reiterated what they told us last night. That the information came from the detainees at Gitmo; it was a credible threat, and that the American people were being placed on the HIGHEST ALERT. That's all I heard.

[Mixer]

Oh i am at work. I was looking for a place to watch on the web. Sorry I should have been clearer on that.

[DJ88]

Oh, I'm sorry....I keep forgetting that not every person here lives in Florida. ;-) Sorry...:-(

[Mixer]

Ok got Rummy on msnbc.com now. Whew! I feel better : )

[KirkandBurke]

Just the AP report.

[areafiftyone]

Sitting here in NYC in "Cubical Hell". ;-)
Would like to know whats going on in the real world also!

the American people were being placed on the HIGHEST ALERT

I'm not trying to make light of this, but weren't we on the "HIGHEST ALERT"? Or, were we just on "HIGH ALERT"? Is it like the difference between a weather watch and a weather warning? Could someone clue me in?
