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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat

Connect these dots, now
Full Story
"We should have secured the Mexican border."

That could be the pitiful lament we hear from negligent U.S. officials if Al Qaeda pulls off an attack on the United States using weapons of mass destruction smuggled across our southern frontier.

Were that horrendous event to happen, leaders in the administration and Congress would be justly hit with the same question that was perhaps unjustly cast at them and their predecessors after the unprecedented Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: Why didn't they connect the dots?

Either he was up to no good.... or he's planning to file a harassment suit.

Regarding the harassment suit...I thought the same thing...probably has a call in to the ACLU as we speak.

Mysterious Frankfurt Airport Gas Origins Unknown (Germany - 12/16/04)

16 December 2004 FRANKFURT - Airport officials admitted on Thursday they were baffled about a mysterious gas released the previous evening near a Lufthansa check-in counter in Frankfurt, since the smell had dissipated by the time emergency crews reached the scene.

An airport spokesman said the 61 staff who were taken to hospital coughing and with runny eyes in the incident at 8 pm on Wednesday had been later discharged and some had returned to work. No passengers were affected, but flights were delayed by the emergency.

***Dear TM FRiends***

Our TM sister, KylaStarr, is having rotator cuff surgery and a possible Mumford procedure, on her left shoulder, this morning at 10:30.

Prayers from her TM brothers and sisters would be a great comfort to her.

May the Heavenly Father skillfully guide the hands of the surgeon to relieve Kyla of her constant pain.

In Jesus' name, I pray...
