Threat Matrix: 2009

Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

"America Supports You" spotlights what Americans are doing in support of the military all across the land, encourages others to thank the troops and allows all to tell their stories by giving voice and visibility to their efforts.

Being prepared is a good thing, no matter where one lives; no matter what alert level we are on.

Someone needs to post this on Twitter - so more people see it and open their eyes.

Mustard is very caustic and as the article noted, probably due to a leak. Any release was contained within the storage structure. Detection was likely due to daily monitoring necessary as the old materials are being incinerated.

We are still doing data collection and research. Our goal is to eventually set up a national Freeper intel net.Soon we will divide up into state based structure and figure how we can clear and process information.

Thanks. Will definitely thank Vince and let’s see what we can all do to band together and stop these thugs and safeguard America.

So, why was Postelnik’s thread pulled?

Do we really have an infiltrator mod here?

(Ouch! My tinfoil hat is pinching me.)

I think it was because the source of the original article had security issues. Is Paul Williams hated here?

Thanks, Piper, I missed you too. I read a little while back that you moved to Alabama. Glad you’re out of Chicago.
