Possibly because it's true?

I do think that the truth is at least a few orders of magnitude worse than what we are being told, a few snippets from here and there occasionally let us see the tip of the iceberg.

From some of these "snippets", I think that the US government doesn't just "think", but knows beyond a shadow of doubt that Al Qaeda has one or more radiological bombs and lethal nerve gas. The only question is not whether they have it, but whether and when they will use them.

Ya, maybe....

How long have we been hearing about threats? I hope to God I am wrong, but, what if I am not?

I think it is quite sad I got this gut feeling, but I got it from somewhere...

Bullpucky. The truth is that any tip will send these clowns in to a tizzy because they are in extreme CYA mode. If the threat is so vague and the target unidentified, they should simply not issue an alert. And if the target were identified then they would be able to capture those responsible. In other words, all of these alerts, every one of them, is pointless and it is our patriotic duty to ignore them and get on with our bussines. But you are always free to keep swallowing the line after every alert that tells you how justified they were and how they just saved you and your family from a fate worse than death. Or you can wise up and recognize that the bureaucrats are playing the American public for fools.

I just don't buy it. If they had it...they'd use it. It's that simple. I'm not going to worry about it anyway, if something happens I'll deal with it then. I'll be damned if I'm going to scurry around like some scared squirrel, hoarding plastic and duct tape.
