The Bush administration raised the national terror threat level from yellow to orange Friday, meaning the country is at "high risk" of a terrorist attack.

Attorney General John Ashcroft scheduled a news conference at 12:30 p.m. EST, at which time he planned to discuss the decision. He will be accompanied by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge and FBI Director Robert Mueller.

Hey eshu and rightwhale, how about joining chance's kid watching Spongebob, your juvenile mentality seems more appropriate there.

I hope it's not another, "We think something bad is going to happen soon but don't know how or where."

[Peach]

Hotels and apartments could be at high risk. Attack could come around end of holiday Habu (sp?). What is Habu and when does it end?

[TRY ONE]

"What is a Reed alert?"

Ans. It's Biblical--- Hesitations, CH 4

"A reed will spring forth and attempt to kick the sh*t
out of everyone"....

Teacher and Ex-Husband charged in ESPIONAGE

I heard this morning that the papers they had delt with Biological, Chemical, etc. and were worth millions on the black market.

Could be some of this information was already delivered to terrorist cells.

[Constitution Day]

Great link, SG.

I don't know about you, but I'm a little nervous!

[Cicero]

Just so. It's the annual pilgrimmage to Mecca.

This could just be part of the general tightening-up preceding the war on Iraq.

[Peach]

Thanks for the info.

[spectre]

"I'm a little bit nervous".

Me too. They want us to stay "alert". Is that like walking around being Skitso?

[Aggie Mama]

My guess is hospitals, hotels, apartments, etc.....Ridge is saying take time to prepare for emergencies.

[spectre]

Oh good, he didn't mention Malls!

When the going gets tough, the tough go "shopping"!

Later....guys.

Ridge is saying take time to prepare for emergencies.

I am not going to buy anymore SPAM. I am not! I am not! I am not!
Think I'll put my shoes on and head to the store. Tuna, Spam, Tuna, Spam. Spam it is. :-)

[Trust but Verify]

What was that about? My husband called and asked if I was listening to the radio at work. Someone from Justice Dept. suggested a family emergency plan? Like where to go or meet in the event of an attack? Did anyone else get that part?

[Bahbah]

Hesitations?
