The Threat Matrix

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the judge and get informed!

Connect these dots, now
Full Story

"We should have secured the Mexican border."

That could be the pitiful lament we hear from negligent U.S. officials if Al Qaeda pulls off an attack on the United States using weapons of mass destruction smuggled across our southern frontier.

Were that horrendous event to happen, leaders in the administration and Congress would be justly hit with the same question that was perhaps unjustly cast at them and their predecessors after the unprecedented Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: Why didn't they connect the dots?

Don't feel bad.

As a parent you have a right to snoop into their diaries, as long as they are under your roof. You love them and it's for their own good. It's called tough love.

Others I'm sure will disagree and I understand their position. That's fine and dandy as long as the children don't get into troubles. But, what if you could have prevented a tragedy if only you would have read their diaries and knew in advance what they were up to?

Better safe than sorry.

Thanks again - you are our honored and honorary thread historian.

I wouldn't go that far, but thanks.

thanks for the link. I'll have to lurk for a while there and check them out a little more. I'm investigating the rest of the info. Thanks.

You are right. Minor children do not have the same "rights" as adults. They need (and crave) the protection of their parents. If parents do not fence out dangers, they would be chewed up by the predators and other dangers. Including their own immature understanding.

Just don't let her catch you at it!

You're very welcome Cindy. Now to convince the insurgents that God has a plan for them and they can be saved from the fires of Hell if they only open their minds and their hearts.

[Baraonda]

"Just don't let her catch you at it!"

Right you are.

[Cindy]

OPINION - SPECULATION: Well, the "insurgents" seem to have made up their own minds and they seem hell-bent on achieving their goals, no matter the cost to human lives and property.

Yep, God has a plan for all of us; if we just listen, read about it; and follow His instructions.

"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Thank God.

In case you see a post about bombs at LAX....I just received this in the inbox///

"during a training exercise in France, fake training explosives were left on some planes. Before it was realized, the planes left France and one arrived at LAX. Out of caution, they unloaded the plane and are rescreening every passenger.
News TV-2 reported this, and are showing the plane at 2324 hours"......453.375R 118.8 All passengers have departed the plane in question. No
further details. It have been a security breach rather than a bomb on
board.
460.550R 118.8 LAX 460.525R 118.8 LAX 453.375R 118.8
>Air France, or another airline, possibly has a bomb on a plane, either at
or about to land at LAX.<

Embassy employees have been instructed to keep travel within Abidjan to a minimum, try not to be out after 6 p.m. , and to restrict their movements to several centrally located areas. Private American citizens are urged to follow the same guidelines. Americans should also be sure that their vehicles are fully fueled, and that they have adequate cooking fuel, food, and water for several days.


On November 10, the Department of State authorized the departure of non-emergency personnel and all eligible family members.
