"Not being specific is very wrong...airplane, stadium, mall??????"

spectre...don't you think if he knew that he would tell us? Come on. Let's put our thinking caps on here: we have Halloween, the World Series in NY, etc etc etc. You think the terrorists are gonna say,

"Oh yeah, and by the way, we're gonna hit the World Series at 8:05pm on Tuesday. OK? Just so ya know."

Get sensible about this....terrorists DON'T LEAVE CLUES BEFOREHAND.

Thanks DJ, your comments are well spoken.

People, we are adults here, we should be glad they are telling us at all. I expect when and if they would get a specific threat as to time/place/method, they could stop it themselves without telling us.

Obviously, they do not have those specific facts but are adult enough to tell us what they do know.

We need to be viligant on the home front and pay attention, that is what they are asking us to do and we should pay attention.

This new war is no laughing matter.

Let's clear this up, DJ. I understand everything you and the others are saying. For Ashcroft to take this threat very serious, there had to be substantial reasons for him to do so. I can appreciate that.

OTOH, this warning will only serve to activate the news networks to try and reason WHERE the new terrorist target will be. So if NO one has a clue, then there isn't much any of us can really do about it, now is there?

AND I hear you, "be vigilant"....duh.
