The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm.

Four pounds of nuclear fuel missing from power plant

Associated Press


EUREKA, Calif. - Four pounds of radioactive nuclear fuel went missing from a shuttered nuclear power plant near Eureka.

Pacific Gas and Electric workers are looking for three pieces of a nuclear fuel rod that may be among hundreds placed in a deep storage pool at the Humboldt Bay Power Plant before it closed in 1976

None of the stuff listed is in any way illegal. Likely find a lot of similar stuff in the closets and safes of many freepers. Any idea what type of flight manuals were found? Airliner or Cessna? It matters.

Thanks for more links Cindy.

[ExSoldier]

Okay, I'm back from family visit. Have heard NOTHING on the news of anything, been on the road pretty much all day. Catching up on the threads now.

FWIW, RPG's would be a pretty miserable way to take down an entire building, IMHO. They'd do a better job of knocking large holes in some highly visible symbolic target like the dome of the US Capitol (this was in a movie so it's not a new idea) or knocking Lincoln out of his "memorial chair" or something.

[drymans wife]

Awsome, thanks for sharing.

I noticed a new detail in the graphic. In addition to all the bright orange fires there are a bunch of buildings marked in a dull red color.

It's been expressed that we'd see ground action in small to mid sized towns and cities in conjunction with unconventional attack in the major population centers.

If it's true that AQ owns 80% of Saudi security, then you are on target there. They also promised to destroy Israel as soon as they get us out of the way.

As far as concessions, that may be what you or I'd ask for, but these guys are dedicated to only one thing.

[HipShot]

Wonderful news. Thanks.

The last time something like this happened, they spent a fortune digging through old rods with special tools. I guess that's gonna happen again.

"For all we know AQ could have an 18,000 person army here already!"

A couple of threads ago we extrapolated some stats from the US Border Patrol and were able to project a possible "army" of up to 70,000 AQ currently "in-country." Of course not all of these will be "trigger pullers," because they will also require logistics folks and intell gatherers. But that is still a good sized combat force. Also, remember that a large number of state national guard units are deployed elsewhere. Here is a prime example where the "Blue States" gun control policies could lead to their destruction.

Why gamble on a high risk attack on Europe or the US when they could strangle the West with oil extortion and win any concession they desire.

The Russians are the second largest oil exporter. Their supplies have keep the ME oil prices in check. Now, the Russians are having severe financial problems. They may cease selling oil altogether. The would give huge leverage to any impacts on ME supplies.

U da man! Welcome home.

I suppose the port closure in FL wasn't on your radio? I thought you'd be listening to the news on your way back home.

If you are a convicted felon, then many items that are perfectly legal to possess for normal people are prohibited. Firearms, ammunition and bullet proof vests are specifically illegal for a convicted felon to possess.

What happens when the militia drafts in those states? Hopefully some NG type had the foresight to hold on to the old Garands.

THANKS FOR LETTING THE WISDOM AND MATURITY SHINE THROUGH.

AND FOR BEING A GOOD MODEL.

That's ok, u didn't need to get uptight on the way home over a "move along, nothing to see here" story.

I used to turn the CB off and listen to books on tape for hours on end when I was OTR.

Lots of interesting Kerry stuff today, and early this afternoon TM's ears were perked for a while, but nothing major.

He's a convicted sex offender in the State of California........He was convicted in California in 1988 of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, per court documents.

I can't find anything re: the flight simulator and manuals he had in his possession.
