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.

Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert
NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

Katherine Harris: U.S. has thwarted 100 attacks

Speaking at a Republican rally, the congresswoman credits President Bush with making the country safe.

By DAVID HACKETT

NYT REGIONAL NEWSPAPERS

VENICE, Fla. — U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris said Monday that the United States has “literally defeated 100 (potential) terrorist attacks on this country” in the past three years, some of which could have been as deadly as the 9/11 destruction of the World Trade Center.

Speaking Monday night in Venice at a rally in support of President Bush, Harris said the United States is winning the war against terrorism.

“His remarkable leadership has made our country safe,” Harris told an overflow crowd of more than 600 at the Holiday Inn. The event was sponsored by the Republican Club of South Sarasota County.

In an interview after the speech, Harris said she learned from classified information about the 100 potential attacks that have been thwarted since 9/11.

“Actually, it’s been more than 100,” she said. “It’s classified obviously not classified to me but things I can’t go into detail about.”

The Lincoln tunnel may have been a secondary. The action in DC tonight may be related to secondaries as well.

How do you influence consumers? I think that the goblin's normal suicide behavior would not be as effective as they'd like.

Maybe something to keep us from being able to consume or purchase.

" Attacks against aviation facilities and infrastructure (airport and air traffic services).
• Use of cyber or other electronic attacks.....
Such as the computer systems failures yesterday here in the US for American Airlines and US Air... affected over 300 flights."

And the similar failure for Northwest airlines two weeks ago. First they said it was a power failure, then they said it was a computer problem.

Hope your day and night were perfect! I'm heading to rack some zzzzzz's. Those deriding the "old information" about NY, etc. are truly ignorant of the way AQ operates. Years and years of planning go into their operations. Here's a snip from a published article:

But intelligence officials and experts on terror also point out that Al Qaeda never carried out spectacular attacks, like the 9/11 attacks or the 1998 embassy bombings in Africa, in less than two-year intervals. Many of those attacks were in planning stages for more than four years. That has officials worried about what may now be in the planning stages.

Mossad, now that you outed yourself (somewhat), can you please answer ladyjane's question in post # 131? :)

This may sound silly but I'll say it anyways. You're talking of possible methods of communication we may be overlooking. What about carrier pigions?

Think of the DC snipers spread accross middle America, while still trying to hit NY and DC area. If it becomes risky to buy in a small town, that will spread. NY and DC are a foreign area to most of America. The terrorists can't be that dumb. Time will tell.

The price of oil will continue to be a drag on our economy. Today oil futures hit the all time high on the Mercantile. $50 a barrel doesn't sound as far fetched as it did a few months ago. All of that extra money spent on gas is diverted from other consumer goods that we could be buying to keep the economy humming. Our dependence on foreign oil is slowly bleeding our economy, which the terrorists like to see.

You are absolutely right. It sounds silly. :)

I have no idea as to how well it would work. I don't know what the effective range is, or even how they do what they do.

If the RNC is serious about eliminating the IRS, that would carry the weight of drilling offshore FL and Alaska.

I really don't think we have the time anyway. We may have to act to take control of some wells and ports.
