C-4 is a very powerful, very reliable plastic explosive. Several times more powerful than dynamite.

God help these good men...........You can tell they're plain scared!.........and I believe with all my heart they would be specific IF THEY COULD!

We've never had to deal with anything like this before...........It's like a 'made for TV movie'..........

...We do need to be responsible for ourselves.....

...I pray God will have mercy!

I have no intention of being any more "vigilant" than I would usually be. When they need some help rounding up all male Moslems so they can be put out to sea on burning barges, give me a call. Anything short of that is probably a simple case of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Get non US citizens from terrorists countries out of here right now!

Most Americans AGREE with this comment. However, how do we tell our Government we want them OUT NOW!!!!! Perhaps they can't find them for they have no tracking system.

If you are not being sarcastic, and even if you are.

C-4 is a Plastique High-Explosive, very serious stuff.

You know when you see a guy "blow" a door in a movie and they slap on a softball size chunk of what looks like clay?

Well that is C-4 and he is using way too much!

Great logo. We have many such sabertooths around here under the frozen muck. Miners unearth them. They get pelts, bones, other tissue out of the muck, which is 100 feet deep in places. Musk ox, too, but we still have musk ox walking around. Looks like a sudden catastrophe buried them whole [or crushed] and froze them solid about 10,000 years ago.

Yes, but he did contact the FBI and they took a report, thought he was credible. Now it's up to them.

Anybody else catch that bit towards the end of Ashcroft's speech where he said something about "when and if" we encounter law enforcement (and military? he went too fast to type, and it's not in the online stuff I can find) we should cooperate?

That struck me as kinda ominous.

My wife disagrees, but I got the impression that they were intimating that they told the "18,000 LE agencies" something a bit more specific than they told us.

Scared is right. Did you hear Ashcroft give that huge sigh before he spoke! They are deadly serious about what they're learning and I hope this action and demeanor helps the country stay behind the effort. We HAVE to wipe these terrorists off the face of the earth.

See #121. C-4 is a very powerful plastic explosive.

FBI pulled a scary amount of C-4 from one of their rooms just after 9/11

So the FBI pulled out of "their" rooms. Who is "THEIR" .... the Terrorists???

I must have missed that about the FBI. Good deal they listened and took the report. Great of him to make sure he told them.

#133.....Yes, I heard the sigh.
I was in the kitchen on my way to the TV, and heard it before I saw him.

I too read RaceBannon's post, and that's the first thing I thought of, when I saw the new press announcement!

No, you're right, it's no laughing matter, and I am getting sick and tired of the flippant remarks. Darnit, no DAMMIT. We complained for 8 LONG YEARS that we weren't told anything. Now we're being told of a UNSPECIFIED TERROR ALERT and to be VIGILANT and people are still COMPLAINING, ONLY NOW they are complaining because they DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. Well, I for one, am sure that if he KNEW, it would be OVER WITH, and we wouldn't be HEARING ABOUT IT.

Sorry for yelling. :-) Deej
