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. works 'day and night' to rein in al-Qaida
Full Story

WASHINGTON - Prompted by new intelligence indicating Osama bin Laden reached out to the most feared terrorist in Iraq, President Bush charged Thursday that "al-Qaida still hopes to attack us on our own soil."

"Recently, we learned that Osama bin Laden has urged the terrorist Zarqawi to form a group to conduct attacks outside Iraq, including here in the United States," Bush said at the swearing-in of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

The president vowed, "We're working every day and night to dismantle (bin Laden's) network and to bring him to justice."

On June 29, 2004, at 12:28 p.m., I flew on Northwest Airlines flight #327 from Detroit to Los Angeles with my husband and our young son. Also on our flight were 14 Middle Eastern men between the ages of approximately 20 and 50 years old. What I experienced during that flight has caused me to question whether the United States of America can realistically uphold the civil liberties of every individual, even non-citizens, and protect its citizens from terrorist threats.

MOUNT DORA --

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The FBI has said money raised by some of the thieves might be making its way to terrorist organizations.

In a speech in Los Angeles on Nov. 15, FBI Director Robert S. Mueller said, "Believe it or not, the organized theft of infant formula is a growing national problem. . . . In a number of our cases, the subjects of these investigations are suspected of providing financial support to terrorist organizations, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.""

Dr. Melvin Greer, chairman of the University of Florida's College of Medicine in Gainsville, was one of two physicians chosen by Felos to examine her.

Judge George Greer, who has presided over the contentious case since September 1999, has not met Terri, having been persuaded by Schiavo's attorney, "right-to-die" advocate George Felos, not to visit her at the nursing home where she then was living.

Anti-immigrant sentiment appears to be growing in the United States, Mexican President Vicente Fox said Wednesday, and he urged U.S. officials to act quickly to control movements such as the 950-member-strong Minuteman Project on the Mexico-Arizona border. "We will use the law, international law and even U.S. law to make sure that these types of groups, which are a minority ... will not have any opportunity to progress."

"TERRORIST SCUBA ATTACKS?"

One mock drill a year for local fire,police,EMS, and medical facilites does not make for great preparedness.

My husband and I participated in one of those "mock drills" last year. I can assure you that the calm demeanor of the participants as a whole would not be the case with a real disaster.

[MamaDearest]

Hi Sis!

Good to see you back, posting away. We need you here! You are valuable to us and you are persistent with your inquiries and posts. Hoping the angels are watching over you and Kinetic and you can spend more time here and with NoE as time goes on!

"Teen Gunman Kills Grandparents, Seven People at His High School in Minnesota Shooting Rampage"
"Shooter Also Dead at Remote Indian Reservation School"


JOSHUA FREED
Associated Press Writer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BEMIDJI, Minnesota (AP) -- A high school student went on a shooting rampage on this Indian reservation, killing his grandparents at their home and then seven people at his school, ''grinning and waving'' as he fired, authorities and witnesses said. The gunman was later found shot to death.

It was the worst school shooting in the United States since the Columbine massacre in 1999."

Did you see my friend on Linda's show today on FNC?

No, we don't get the FNC on our satellite programming. We get the "other" channel and it is worthless IMHO. Hubby considering renewal when large annual fee gives us more exercise equipment and supplement commercials that give males phenomenal powers than actual worthwhile programming.
