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.

Was Bomber's "New York" Shirt A Message?
Full Story

It's hardly a unique fashion statement for a mass transit rider: a Yankees-style cap, and a "New York" sweat shirt.

But the New York Police Department is teaming with British authorities to determine whether those items were worn by suspects in the London terror cases to send a "purposeful message" to the city, according to an NYPD officials.

David Cohen, the NYPD's deputy commissioner of intelligence, raised the concern earlier this week at a security briefing for business leaders at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan.

"Hamas: Armed struggle is sole strategy"
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal declared on Wednesday that the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and northern West Bank marked the beginning of the end of the Zionist dream in Palestine.

Mashaal was speaking to reporters in Beirut and his remarks were broadcast live by a number of major Arab TV satellite stations.

Dubbing the pullout a "defeat in the face of Palestinian resistance and a significant step with historic dimensions," Mashaal said that as far as Hamas was concerned, the disengagement marked the beginning of the death of the Zionist dream.

"The resistance and the steadfastness of or people forced the Zionists to withdraw," he boasted. "The resistance is capable of ending the Israeli occupation and achieving all our rights. The armed struggle is the only strategy that Hamas possesses.""

Welcome back! Youv'e been missed!

Very true, SlowBoat.

[SlowBoat407]

High veeta. Just got back from wandering the periphery of a Cindy sympathy protest in Virginia Beach. These people were truly frightening in their inability to comprehend the stakes of this war. They still believe that the world will respond positively if we "Give peace a chance".

[Velveeta]

There's a thread up now about bad drugs in Chicago too.

Thanks, heard it on the local news too.
7 were hospitalized, none critical.
I think all have been released from the hospital.

ASUNCION, Paraguay, Aug. 17, 2005 - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld met here late Aug. 16 with Paraguayan President Nicanor Duarte Frutos to reaffirm ties between Paraguay and the United States and to lay groundwork for a stronger cooperative relationship in the future.

Rumsfeld is impressed with Paraguay's leadership and its commitment to strengthening its national security to deal with issues in the region and to reform its military, he told reporters following a 90-minute meeting in Frutos' presidential residence.

Frutos assembled his key staff, including Gen. Jose Key Kanazawa Gamarra, chief of the defense forces; Roberto Gonzalez Segovia, minister of defense; and Vice President Luis Castiglioni Soria, for Rumsfeld's first visit to Paraguay as secretary of defense. U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay John Francis Keane also attended.

"I must say, I was most impressed with his team and their determination to deal with the problem of corruption," Rumsfeld said. He called corruption "corrosive" to a country and its efforts to create an environment that provides economic opportunity.

While working to strengthen Paraguay's economy, the country's leaders also are focused on modernizing their military and creating a better-trained, modernized force capable of addressing security issues in the region.

Paraguay has been a counterterrorist champion in the unruly "tri-border region," where its borders converge with those of Argentina and Brazil. A senior defense official traveling with Rumsfeld described this area as a center not only for trade, but also for smuggling and other illicit activities. Rumsfeld noted the solid cooperation being demonstrated in the region as Paraguay and other nations work together to counter problems ranging from hostage taking to drug trafficking and gangs.

Rumsfeld and Frutos also discussed concerns about growing Cuban and Venezuelan influence in Bolivia, Paraguay's neighbor to the west. Cuba's aggressive foreign policy agenda, bankrolled by Venezuelan dollars, is having an "unhelpful" influence in the region, the secretary said. "Countries like Paraguay and other neighbors are all interested in being able to grow and function in a manner that's free of external influence," he said.

"This is a concern to all the neighbors (of Bolivia)," a senior defense official told reporters. The challenge, not only for Paraguay or the United States but for the inter-American system as a whole, is to help the Bolivians steer this situation to a democratic outcome, he said.

The secretary praised Paraguay's leaders for their interest in assuming a larger role in peacekeeping activities, including the U.N. mission in Haiti.

A full range of exercises, from peacekeeping to counterterrorism to medical readiness, is enhancing Paraguayan military capabilities and bolstering the country's ability to carry out those missions, while providing an important bond between the two countries, Rumsfeld said. A recent medical-readiness exercise here provided medical care for 12,000 Paraguayan citizens while providing value medical training to U.S. Army Reserve medical teams operating in a tropical environment.

Rumsfeld acknowledged Paraguay's recognition that it needs to work closely with its neighbors and allies to address problems that go beyond its immediate borders. "The kinds of problems that the hemisphere faces are problems that don't lend themselves to single-nation solutions," he told reporters during the flight here. "It requires cooperation. ... We're seeing that kind of increasing cooperation in Central and South America, and that is a very healthy and necessary thing."

The secretary told reporters traveling with him that he recognizes the importance of the region. Since becoming defense secretary in January 2001, Rumsfeld has visited Latin America four times, with stops in Chile, Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil and Guatemala. He also visited the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in January 2002.

Rumsfeld is scheduled to meet with Paraguay's defense minister today. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld met here late Aug. 16 with Paraguayan President Nicanor Duarte Frutos to reaffirm ties between Paraguay and the United States and to lay groundwork for a stronger cooperative relationship in the future.

Just give everyone a hug and all will be well, right?

You were brave to go, SlowBoat.

I'd have gotten violently ill at the sight of such ignorance.

[subsea06]

Yeah. ICBM launches and ASW drills should come in real handy against those nasty little terrorists...

[MamaDearest]

REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!

Don't know what will spark rage, but a terrorist attack at the right time and place might instigate it. Conservative AM talk shows have been very negative about President Bush and his intentions as of late. As long as illegals have incentives (jobs, social security and disability income, free medical care), they'll get here.

When war broke out in Iraq, our neighbors North and South wanted NO part of helping us. Guess we're supposed to just forget about THAT! It's not only judges that need reigning in, but some of our nation's politicians. Some of the ideas they are pursuing need to be nipped in the bud pronto!

[Velveeta]

Interesting. And add this to the mix:

President Bush on Wednesday authorized the United States to continue helping Colombian authorities ground or even shoot down planes suspected of carrying illegal drugs.

Interesting post. CFR stays really busy! I wonder how much involvement CFR Director of Development, George Soros, has in the North American Community. I'll wait for a few more sources before I believe GW is backing this proposal.

WOW you would think we are at war or something on US soil from all your links and no one told us.

City Increases Police Presence at the Pier
http://www.smmirror.com/MainPages/DisplayArticleDetails.asp?eid=1283

According to an August 10 Santa Monica Police press release, still photographs of three Middle Eastern men videotaping the Pier were given to the department on July 22 by the person who took them. The “subsequent investigation of the incident determined that these same individuals were also seen taking suspicious video in two other [Southern California] communities.”
