While it would be far more reassuring if I could believe your viewpoint, I can't.

The code system is somewhat lame, and the majority of the American public either wants to pretend that 9/11 was a fluke and can not or will not happen again..... or takes the view of "so what....there's nothing I can do."

For some reason, THIS time I hope that we will take THIS warning to heart. Prayer is a great place to start. In addition, we need a freeper family plan in place.

Usually, I take elevated codes with a grain of salt, but as of this morning, I would like to know if any of the rest of you are feeling a deep sense of concern (okay, even some impending doom). Is this what terrorists want? Of course. BUT, I also think it is prudent to at least begin to think of how we might handle the unthinkable.

While this article was a reasonable read, it strikes me as very detached from the real reasons for THIS code elevation. Just a few things to think about: Only several days ago a story on AP cited that there was no reason at this time to raise the threat level....why NOW? Libya has been updating us on al Queda intel (according to the British Press) WHAT did they say Friday????? On one site which has had dependable information there is alarm on not only the amount of chatter, but the amount of excitement....and INCITEMENT....also a change in the nature of threats, and a number of posts which point to simultaneous attacks.

Granted, I know of no way to combat being in a city supposedly targeted with a suitcase nuke.....BUT I do know that it makes sense to at least have a plan in place so that total chaos doesn't allow any terror strike to win.

God speed and God bless.....Just a few thoughts.
