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!

U.S. terror program recruiting truckers

1/27/2005, 6:34 a.m. ET
By BILL POOVEY
The Associated Press

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Hoping to take advantage of alert eyes along the nation's highways, the government is trying to enlist more truckers in the battle against terrorism.

The Alexandria, Va.-based Highway Watch, started by the American Trucking Associations in 1998 and funded since 2002 with homeland security money, focuses on safety and security.

Spokesman John Willard said the volunteer program has received a total of about $40 million and "all 50 states have active programs." He said Highway Watch continues to seek trained members.

"Truck driver normally runs the same route every day. He is used to his surroundings," said Dave Huneryager, president of the Tennessee Trucking Association. "Something may jump out at him."

Longtime trucker Ernie Sherrill agrees: "You see a lot of things."

Besides looking out for potential threats, such as a tanker truck parked for an extended period near a bridge or overpass, volunteers are trained to "avoid becoming a target of terrorists."

"The Highway Watch effort seeks to prevent terrorists from using large vehicles or hazardous cargoes as weapons," according to a program statement.

Training for membership takes about an hour, said Stephanie Fouts, Highway Watch program manager. She said each of the "tens of thousands" of members is assigned an identification number to use when making a report to the around-the-clock operation.

Joe Smith, a trainer for the watch program, said it isn't an alternative to 911 or local law enforcement agencies but has resources to help provide a better coordinated response if multiple agencies might need to be involved.

He said examples of past calls to the center include a stolen tanker truck and the theft of a nuclear plant worker's truck along with the worker's identification.

The move to enlist truckers comes as the federal government trains other civilian workers — from suburban shopping mall security guards to city doormen — to be on the lookout for suspicious activity.

Police Re-Think Cause Of Subway Fire

Jan 27, 2005 7:15 am US/Eastern

(1010 WINS) NEW YORK Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly emphasized that it remained unclear what started a fire that shut down several subway lines and destroyed a signal room, despite reports that a homeless person may have ignited the blaze.

``It is not determined as yet whether this fire was caused by a homeless person,'' Kelly told The New York Times for Wednesday editions. ``We don't know exactly how the fire started.''

Authorities had previously said they thought a homeless person set a shopping cart on fire in a tunnel near the Chambers Street station on Sunday, the second day of a blizzard. The blaze spread to a nearby equipment room, destroying a critical nerve center that controlled signals for the A and C lines.

``There's some notion floating out there that there are communities that live in the subway,'' Kelly said. ``That's simply not the case. There may have been 10 or 15 years ago, but that's not the situation now.''

Fire Department spokesman Michael Loughran said fire marshals were continuing their investigation into the fire's cause.

Transit officials said it would take three to three to six months to restore service on the affected subway lines, but that the signal room would not be fully repaired for three to five years.

N.Korea Has Bought Complete Nuclear Bomb - Report

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea (news - web sites) appears to have bought a complete nuclear weapon from either Pakistan or a former Soviet Union state, a South Korean newspaper said on Thursday quoting a source in Washington.

Seoul Shinmun quoted the source as saying the United States was checking the intelligence.

The purchase was apparently intended to avoid nuclear weapons testing that could be detected from the outside, the source was quoted as saying.

North Korea is believed to have one or two nuclear weapons and possibly more than eight.

U.S. Congressman Curt Weldon said after a visit to the North this month that its second-ranked leader had told his delegation that it possessed nuclear weapons.

Pyongyang has declared that a nuclear reactor at Yongbyon, sealed under a 1994 agreement with the United States, had been restarted. Spent nuclear fuel from that reactor could be converted to weapons-grade material.

North Korea has never officially declared that it possessed atomic weapons, speaking instead of its "nuclear deterrent."

U.S. experts who visited the Yongbyon facility said spent plutonium previously stored there had been removed.

North Korea is suspected of running a separate program based on uranium enrichment technology, assisted by a former top Pakistani nuclear scientist.

Now that is worrying! My first thought was the Sears tower too. It reminds me of the story after 9/11 about the 2001 calendars depicting the planes crashing into the twin towers. The calendars were printed at the end of 2000.

The State Department on Wednesday issued a travel warning for Americans visiting Mexico, saying violent criminal activity, including murder and kidnaping, has increased in its northern border region.

Certainly none of those violent criminals are crossing the border illegally....and if they are, certainly they are just looking for jobs and a gang-family life here, right?

[MamaDearest]

President won't add 2,000 border agents

To him it is evidentally not a problem. It is, however, a HUGE problem for many of us who have supported him.

I pray Muffin comes home to you. We had a cat lost for 3 months who finally came home, so please don't give up hope.
