The Threat Matrix

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!

Yes, I can't think of anything, right off the bat, other than money. Alot of countries, other than the U.S., have different colors for different denominations of money. At least European countries did prior to the Euro and I'm not sure of the color(s) of the Euro. America, compared to (some) others, all denominations are green.

[MamaDearest]

Green zone?

[Oorang]

That gets today's "well that's weird" award.

[The_Reader_David]

Masjid is the Arabic word which gets Englished as Mosque.

[Oorang]

Thanks much for checking that one out.

[penguino]

Thanks Cindy - will definitely check these out.

[Oorang]

Okay, my brain switched to slow gear I guess. What is the green zone? (Sorry)

[SlowBoat407]

That's the layer of cheese you have to scrape off when it's been out too long.

[Cindy]

You're welcome RR.

[Oorang]

Ohhhh. Ewwwwww.

One the thing that is called the green Zone is a very protected area arround Bagdad where we have bases. Some hotels there I believe. I don't know how big it is.

[Cindy]

Thanks Laura.

Forget about the bases. I got that part wrong:

"The International Zone (formerly known as the Green Zone) is the heavily guarded area of closed-off streets in central Baghdad where US occupation authorities live and work. The Green Zone in the central city includes the main palaces of former President Saddam Hussein. The area houses the civilian ruling authority run by the Americans and British and the offices of major US consulting companies.

The precise boundries of the "Green Zone" are difficult to determine, and indeed may change with time. The core of the Green Zone appears to be the presidential complex of Saddam Hussein. "

Alright, I just translated 4 pages from here: http://communicate.msn.com/Sweetislam/landsofislam.msnw

It is very long. If you want me to freepmail you the translation, let me know. lah

[Oorang]

Oh, of course. Thanks Revel.

[Revel]

Reading On...I am very confused. This is a poor write up.

"The International Zone (formerly known as the Green Zone) is the heavily guarded diplomatic/government corner of central Baghdad that houses Iraqi citizens, Coalition partners, and U.S. forces. It is commonly referred to as the “Ultimate Gated Community” due to the numerous armed checkpoints, coils of razor wire, chain link fences, and the fact it is surrounded by “T-Walls” (reinforced and blast-proof concrete slabs)."

I wonder whether the use of green in the sense of 'unripe' used metaphorically to mean inexperienced works in Arabic as well (meaning not the color, but the Arabic for unripe use to mean inexperienced). If so, the snakes (meaning us or someone else the jihadis regard as enemies) can be destroyed (even) by the inexperienced.
