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!

THANK YOU Velveeta.

[Velveeta]

Chertoff's tenure at the Justice Department included high-profile cases that his criminal division either lost or that have yet to be resolved

It's starting to appear as though Chertoff is a questionable choice for this position.

Thanks for digging.

Did Bush's New Homeland Chief Shield Terror Ring in New Jersey?

This is getting seriously frightening. I am beginning to be very very concerned about the "politics" of politics. Thanks for the enlightening link Velveeta!

[Velveeta]

Quite the collection of articles!

[Godzilla]

Faded back into the woodwork I suppose.

Hopefully with his tail between his legs.

Also interesting info. regarding Chertoff and Enron and Worldcom. Some off the wall kooky finds from DU type sites. But the general gist is that in Enron's case he went after Arthur Anderson (the accounting firm) and spared the Enron execs.

IMO, how could Martha Stewart be in prison for lying on a $40 thousand +/- gain; and the Enron execs. who cost this country jobs, pensions, and probably billions in fraud with the California energy debacle....not be sitting in jail!

"Warning on fake meter readers"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The city of Cincinnati is warning customers of the Greater Cincinnati Water Works -- especially elderly customers -- about letting people into their homes who say they need to read a meter or check water pressure."

[Velveeta]

bumping that!

[Velveeta]

My pleasure.

Thank you too, for all that you do!

[Velveeta]

You're welcome!

Dig around there a bit and see if you come away needing a stiff drink. ;-)

Federal government wants to change rules to permit convicted arsonists to get special licenses to drive gasoline tankers and trucks loaded with explosives and hazardous materials

[Cindy]

Ditto to you!

[Velveeta]

I can't help but think that Chertoff has been completely vetted. He's also been through 2 or 3 Senate confirmations already. So he 'should' be one of the good guys, right??

Poor Martha...I agree with you. What a waste of time and money to have pursued her.

[Velveeta]

What??!!??

[all4one]

I would have thought that Kerik would have been vetted prior to the announcement too...but we saw where that went. I think that Chertoff may be the most appealing to both the GOP and the Dems....well other than Hillary...Chertoff was deeply involved in the Whitewater investigations.

During Chertoff's time in NY he was close with Guiliani, and has a reputation for going after the big mob bosses and their ilk. High profile, high money targets.

V....the info. you found really threw me for a loop...the days of an administrations appointments not being placed under the microscope by the general public are long gone.

Just 5 or 10 years ago....Kerik would have gotten the appointment; because those who knew of his misdeeds would have been too intimidated to come forward.

The Kerik vetting was indeed a blunder.

I no nothing about Chertoff except what I'm reading tonight for the first time.

If the ACLU doesn't like him....then he might just be the right guy. LOL
