[history]
Big one U.S. intelligence officials say there are signs terrorists are planning a major attack during the holiday season. But the signs are not specific enough to issue a warning to the public. Increased chatter among terrorist groups associated with the al Qaeda network has been a common indicator in the past. Intelligence agencies have been picking up signals since early December from terrorist suspects indicating that an attack is being planned. "They are talking about 'the big one,'" an intelligence official tells us. U.S. government public warnings about terrorism over the Christmas and New Year's holiday have been limited to overseas-travel advisories. The latest intelligence says a major terror attack could be carried out in the United States, the officials said. The FBI warned this week that terrorists may attempt to blow up an airliner using explosives-laden shoes, similar to the attempt a year ago by accused shoe-bomb suspect Richard C. Reid. CIA Director George J. Tenet said in a recent speech that the al Qaeda network is preparing terrorist attacks. He noted that recent taped messages by al Qaeda leaders were "unprecedented in their bluntness and urgency."

That one doesn't work either. I don't know why. I want my money back! (Oops.)

I don't know. Give or take a couple of shrines, temples, churches is not my concern here. I'm not into minor quibbles. My primary concern is with the physical security of our nation, and secondarily, the security of peaceable people the world over, including peaceful Muslims.

StopIslam.com Does this work? Doesn't work for me. Apparently, we are restricted to being here.
Maytag.com
Maytag works, though. I wonder what's up?
To: 2sheep
A terrorist infecting himself and running around the US infecting people with killer diseases is very possible, although I hadn't thought of that. It's a frightening idea.

I suppose that one day I'll understand either what happened or what I should do, which is better.
So, do you know how I can meet the Jetclean II model on the Maytag page? Just thought I'd ask. (The woman, I mean, not the dishwasher.)
And I trust you're concerned about more than just our physical safety. ;-`

...staying home and renting a DVD.Get the latest "Man in the Iron Mask."
It was unexpectedly great.
To: mykdsmom
Scratch that. I meant "Count of Monte Cristo."
Obviously past my bedtime.

Our only store in town Blockbuster had nothing on the shelf at Christmas and expect to rent out everything on New Years so depending on where you live, I live in a town of ten thousand, get your rentals early. FYI

"...Bowl games worry me..." Buck up...
At least they're not virtually guaranteed to be super mismatches like a certain other superhyped superball supergame that's played around this time of the year.

If the attack is during the fiesta bowl and the game isn't finished and Oklahoma wins the rose bowl is it possible that the Sooners can regain the #1 spot? (just looking for a silver lining);)

What makes you say New Years Eve?
To: ewing
Fiesta Bowl. And when the Browns kick the Steelers butts on Sun.
To: techdawg2k
Sheeeeesh you gave em a map.
To: oceanperch
I have asked the man what he was buying it for...he won't answer. He just kind of laughs a little. He seems very nervous when he comes in.
To: unspun
I'm not kidding or joking about this. I am serious when I say this is exactly what has happened.
To: ewing
Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix, AZ. Don't ask me who's playing, I haven't a clue. Big parade, people come from all over for it.
