Literally millions of people on the fence will take it very, very personally.

True, but if a terrorist attack is prevented, people will say the Alert Level was hyped. If a terrorist attack actually occurs, they'll say it was the fault of the Bush administration. Darned if ya do and darned if ya don't.

We never know what we prevent when this kind of alert is raised,then people complain because nothing bad happens!

Thank you to all who stand duty,covering our backs.

Comes with the territory, I'm afraid. Even if it happens, half of Europe, 80% of the Arab world, and every last man, womyn and child in Berkely, CA will think that the CIA did it. You just can't reason with some people.
