Threat Matrix: November 2006

[nwctwx]

The Price of Victory
-Full Story-

The "bombshell" revelation from last April's National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which was leaked to the New York Times in September, was that the war in Iraq had resulted in more terrorism, not less. As reported by United Press International's Claude Salhani, "Did we really need 16 intelligence agencies to tell us that? Ten minutes of watching the newscast of your choice, from Al-Jazeera to Fox News, would be enough to convince most observers." But the key question is why the war has provoked the global Jihad.

One answer has to be the influence in the Arab world of the America-
hating network Al-Jazeera. The AIM DVD on "Terror Television" shows film footage of captured terrorists saying they came to Iraq to kill Americans because of the words and images on Al-Jazeera.

I still think about the fact that on 9/11, one thing stuck out about that day before the bad stuff started happening - the polls were open in New York. It was a primary.

11/9 - 9/11 coming up as well. Does anyone have the bin Laden message handy where he talks about the elections?

UBL was discussing Americans 'paying' for their election choices.

From your link: Current information suggests that al-Qa’ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics to include assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings and bombings.

Noticing the USA is not mentioned, but I wouldn't exlude our country from that list -not for a moment.

[MamaDearest]

exlude - should be "exclude." Still cold from venturing out to VOTE!

[Cindy]

"Good advice but not very specific."

I understand.

I post the warning when signing off in the wee hours each morning.

[Cindy]

Thanks a bunch for the recall info Velveeta.

I wouldn't exclude us, either.

The only hint that we are included is:

That's all.

Bomb Threat Halts Voting In Madison (WI)
wfrv.com ^ | Nov 7, 2006 | (AP) MADISON

Posted on 11/07/2006 3:20:03 PM PST by repinwi

AP) MADISON Voting at a Madison school was halted briefly Tuesday due to a bomb threat.

< snip >

Voting stopped at the school about 11:40 a.m., when police did their initial search, Elections Board executive director Kevin Kennedy said. After about 20 minutes, city elections officials asked for and received permission to continue voting outside, at a safe distance from the building, he said.

"People are marking their ballots, they are being put in a secured ballot box, so when they get back in, and there's electricity, they can put ballots in the tabulator," Kennedy reported early Tuesday afternoon.

Did you notice that during this election cycle, there was no advice on voting from Bin-a-jerk-all-my-life?

[Cindy]

Yep, but there was still input by sites of interest that indicates the elections here are something they (generally speaking) are watching.

FBI: Hackers Shut Down Bouchard Web Site

The FBI is investigating an attack by hackers on Republican Candidate for Senate Michael Bouchard's Web site, www.mikeformichigan.com.

The site was also hacked three weeks ago, but at the time it was believed to be because of interest in Bouchard's daughter, the FBI said.

The FBI said it traced the activity back to Maryland, and is on its way to investigate.

[fanfan]

Yes. I would expect that.

They are worried.
