While Ashcroft and Mueller said they had no intelligence as to a specific time or place of an attack, authorities have intercepted a stream of "linked" intelligence that points to one particular attack on a massive scale, according to one just-retired senior federal law enforcement official who is familiar with the current intelligence
"There are some pretty credible threats, one in particular," said the former official, who spoke only on the condition he not be identified. He said much of that intelligence has come in recent months from intercepts of communications from one particular country, and that it is eerily similar to intelligence chatter just before Sept. 11, 2001, in which unidentified operatives spoke in expectant tones about some huge and imminent event.
Some of the linked intelligence points to a major attack on a choke point in the rail system somewhere along the Northeast corridor, from New York to Washington, D.C., and perhaps Boston to the north, said the former official. In response, the FBI and other agencies have deployed large numbers of agents to conduct surveillance on Amtrak and other rail lines, which in turn has led to additional concerns, said the former official and several current counterterrorism authorities.

I won't say what I'm thinking, I just WILL NOT!
And once again Canada is being targeted as the haven for religious zealots and fundamental terrorists and our good neighbours to the south are being warned that Canadians are the new enemy. Robert Mueller, director for the FBI said for the first time Wednesday one of the two Canadians is believed to have discussed hijacking a plane in Canada and flying it into an U.S. building.
Bush still gets high marks among Americans on fighting terrorism, and was perhaps at his best after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
It has been said before, and it will be said again. Fighting terror cannot be done on a battlefield or in a foreign country. Policing and keeping order and continuing to make a country strong from within are the best ways to fight terror.
Fear mongering will do nothing to keep peace and order in the United States.
