Interesting that CBS was monitoring a website in Sudan....
I hope its not a signal to sleepers though
I think that's a logical possibility. They may have been getting their ducks in a row and waited until now to announce it. My guess is that they want a general uprising to cover their terrorist plots. If millions of the "peacefull" start going off spontaneously, the authorities will have a hard time concentrating on the cells.
Perhaps that's the reason for this quote from Ashcroft:
In addition, U.S. intelligence has concluded that lower-level al Qaeda operatives may view the September 11 anniversary as a suitable time to lash out in even small strikes to demonstrate their worldwide presence and resolve," Mr. Ashcroft said. "Accordingly, widely dispersed, unsophisticated strikes are possible, as well."

Jailed al Qaeda figure is source for latest threat alert
Maybe the government had an inkling that this announcement was going to be made. And maybe that's why CBS just happened to be monitoring that site in Sudan...
