Many thanks for that summary Myrddin. I never catch C to C; way past my bedtime.

I'm listening to a rerun of the final 30 minutes that I missed last night. One key item that Quayle mentioned is that the attack will be massive and synchronized to cause as much simultaneous trouble as possible. Gas stations will be detonated with preplaced, timed detonators. The object is to wipe out a huge amount of gasoline stores at once. Pipelines and refineries are targets as well. Since we haven't built any new refineries in over 20 years, our demand has grown to match or exceed capacity.

Blowing up a 40,000 gallon gasoline storage tank will make a pretty spectacular mess. Doing that in hundreds of cities at the same time will be damn hard to manage. Have a bicycle available for noncritical errands. Save your gas for a big grocery run...if there is anything on the shelves to purchase.

Hagmann claims to have identified key individuals at the center of communications coordinating terrorist activity inside the U.S. He was going to hand deliver the information to someone in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. The kind of info distributed by these individuals includes terrorist training manuals and recipes for making improvised explosive devices.
