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.

Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert
NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

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

Knak, didn't someone on our thread have a similar story in that same area?

On the 6th of August when Hiroshima was bombed it was supper time August 5th in NYC.

(1010 WINS) (ALBANY) Two mosque leaders arrested on terror-related charges were described by relatives and friends as peaceful family men who came to this country for freedom and opportunity."

BS......I have swamp land for sale too!

"It's totally wrong and totally false and totally a lie," said Hossain's wife, Mossamat. Between tears, she said her husband is a businessman, not a terrorist."

Gee, the women of the Buffalo 7 said the same thing. (ladies...and I say that lightly, we don't believe you!!)

[Domestic Church]

"the next attack will be with manpads."

Manpads? Is this a special form of Depends,lol?

[knak]

I'm having a Hillary moment.........I don't recall.

[WestCoastGal]

Yes I hope you're right.

From what I've read this morning they seem to have their filthy little hands in everything these days. London, Heathrow airport now shipping.....here MANPADS, explosives, trucks, buildings, airplanes, nukes and who knows what else?

[ladyjane]

Wasn't it the Golden Gate Bridge?

[Domestic Church]

"The bomb squad arrived at the scene at about 8:30 p.m. and‚ after taking X-rays of the device‚ determined it was not live. "

Is that why it was left at the side of the turnpike? Is there another way aside from radiography to verify whether it is a dud or not?

LOL We've got a funny bunch today. :)

Humor break from Today's toons thread, knowing the 2d Admendment lovers responses here to the terror threat:

Yikes, well, maybe someone would know the answer to that.

I attempted to stay awake to catch at least a portion of Jayna Davis on Coast to Coast I failed at my attempt.

I listened to all 3 hours. I haven't read her book yet, so this was my first comprehensive exposure to her material.

I was busy installing an old copy of Visual C++ .Net 2002 and listening to the program in the background. Here are some points:

• McVeigh and Nichols were recruited "lily whites". While the press has characterized them as "right wing militia", that is far from the truth. They were anti-American with the kind of issues that Osama bin Laden frequently spews.
• McVeigh or Nichols (not certain which) had a Filipino wife. He would sneak out at 5 AM in the morning to use a pay phone to call untraceable numbers in the Philippines. He used a calling card. Over 200 such calls are documented. The contacted parties in the Philippines are associated with Abu Sayyef.
• The truck bomb was a middle eastern design according to a couple Israeli bomb experts who examined the site. It was a near perfect detonation.
• The "third terrorist" was an Iraqi army officer. He was observed driving away from the explosion site in a brown Chevy truck. Nearly the only vehicle moving in the chaos following the explosion. The man has been picked out by eye witnesses in a lineup. The FBI won't prosecute the man, but also won't declare him "cleared".
• The "third terrorist" took a job at Logan airport. Davis believes he was instrumental in providing support to the aircraft that left Logan airport and slammed into the WTC on 9-11-2001. She believes the failure of the FBI to get this individual into custody is part of the reason the attack on 9-11-2001 succeeded.
• The government has continued to ignore the material gathered by Jayna Davis. She has defended the material in court. The government took possession of materials from Davis with the promise to follow through with an investigation, then conveniently "lost" the material.

I don't know either. I don't know anything about weapons. Was just brainstorming and it seemed plausible. The person with the "manpad" could be undected and the heat source person could get into any building probably because they wouldn't have a weapon.

[texasbluebell]

Ha! Depends. Hope the terrs have a good supply, they're gonna need 'em.

Just heard John Loftus on Fox, he's being very close to the vest about something Linda V. was asking him.

He said he was one of a few former officials who were involved in a way to track phone calls which was very successful, and something will be coming out someday soon, but he can't reveal anymore about it, but it sounds like they got something or someone special.

[texasbluebell]

Good thinking. Hope those inside are thinking the same...

[knak]

undected = undetected

[Myrddin]

I don't know how clever it is to get caught in a 12-hour gunfight, then captured & hope that your enemy will find the disinformation on your hard drive but it does seem odd that the files weren't in Arabic.

Buying a special Arabic enabled copy of an operating system and associated utilities is going to be expensive and likely to raise a red flag. A U.S. English copy is common as sand. Completely under the radar.

There's a reason why all the sweeps are going on right now. Either they have it all under control and they're mopping up - or they feel they've gathered all the info they need from the folks they've been surveilling and they're not going to get much more - or it's way out of control, they know something is coming, they may know what but they don't know exactly where or when, and figure they better nail everybody they can in hopes of stopping some of it. Hope it's the first option, not the last one.
