CNN brings back the "Osama & the U.S.A. in the crosshairs" graphic
"Source: Bin Laden directing latest threat"



http://www.cnn.com/

"Recent intelligence shows that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, are directing the latest threat against the U.S., senior intelligence officials told CNN. "What we know about this most recent information is it's being directed from the senior-most levels of the al Qaeda organization," said one official."

"Ridge: Terrorists' aim is to influence presidential vote"

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/07/08/ridge.alqaeda/index.html

The planned attack is "an effort to disrupt the democratic process" before November's elections, Ridge said.

Ridge said he had no specific or credible information about threats to the upcoming political conventions. The four-day Democratic convention kicks off July 26 in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Republican National Convention begins August 30 in New York City.

1. So is Sherlock 'on the hunt' again?
Or are there any other unfinished wars ahead of that on his agenda?

2. He's already using the "R" word ("resolve")
"We know they have the capability to succeed and they also hold the mistaken belief that their attacks will have an impact on America's resolve," Ridge said."

So in other words "we know that they can kill another 3,000+ people but we can take it...bring it on."

Sweet JESUS.
