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."

You think that's bad, just wait'll you see the field - it's bright blue!
Watch it, pal. I remember it, and I ain't an "older folk."
;^D
This is the second reference I've seen to 19 guys. I've only heard of the 5 guys. Who are the other 14 guys? A new boy band, maybe?
The upside (how can there be an upside to the killing a bunch of folks) is that if these islamic scum actually DO this, two things will happen:
1. A huge number of liberal USA haters will wake up to the fact that we really ARE under attack, and start taking this seriously (kinda like waking the sleeping giant with 9/11 and then kicking him in the shins to make sure he's really awake).
2. The "it's all our fault" crowd will grow more vocal, making themselves easier to identify and target.
An additional side effect will be that muslims in Amercia will lose many of the freedoms they have come here to enjoy, and even suffer violence on themselves which, considering their silence concerning their islamic brothers' terrorism, will probably be well deserved.
Since 9/11 every member of our family has flown, been to a football stadium, been to an outdoor event where 35,000 people congregated at a charity event, been to the mall, been to NYC, several times, including just a few days ago.......
Too bad you've all decided live isn't worth living........
Yep. They're called the Sultans of Swing. 4-pc. rhythm section, three trumpets, two trombones, and five saxes.
Has a holiday passed since 9.11 that has not had these yahoos come out with one type of warning or alert? I really hope they aren't paying these guys "the big money" Yeeeesh.
Do't worry about it-the G-Men are going all the way anyway. GO BIG BLUE.
