MSNBC Reports: Terrorist Chatter relatively quiet...

[firebee]

So, is this a good thing or a bad thing???
I find it hard to believe that, all the sudden, terrorists decided to quit planning attacks on the U.S... With that in mind, it would seem this silence with the chatter is the calm before the storm. Why would the communications between terrorists go dead all the sudden??? Possibly because the terrorist cells are in place with clear objectives defined for them, which means no more communications would be needed. I'd be interested in seeing what the chatter was like in the two weeks leading up to 9/11. I'll bet it went relatively silent. Their's a point when no more communications are needed to accomplish an objective and action takes place. If you were a terrorist, would you be communicating if you already had everything in place for a terrorist attack????

1. no, it means Bush has no need for terrist chatter anymore. He *won*

2. My exact thought when I heard this report....The election is over..no need

to scare the people any more.

4. Exactly

what a coincidence that once Chimpy is safe for another 4 years we don't hear the high volume of terra chatter even with all the Bin Laden tapes that have been out recently.

3. That means their corporate sponsors need you to go shopping.

And maybe buy some airplane tickets. That's all it means.

Fearmongering is fine when it means increased profits for the parent company. War is big business. But they'd like to take a short break from it this week, and get people to go buy some of their worthless shit.

5. Exactly. It's all about S-P-E-N-D-I-N-G

7. Has anyone else noticed how we haven't had a color coded

assessment of our current state of alert since Tom Ridge resigned?

"German Guy" says there will be a dirty bomb attack in Houston or Atlanta on 12/27/04.

[Miami Liberal]

8. Who is the "German Guy" you are referring to?

[Quakerfriend]

9. I don't remember exactly when but,

there was a link to his website several days ago. Apparently, he is an X German intelligence man who knows all the ins and outs of how to listen to "chatter". He writes prolifically and he has posted this many times. He claims that the administration will be doing this.

My first thought when I saw this was "Why on earth would Bush Co. hit his own home state?" Anyway, I guess we shall see. Pretty scary, eh?

11. Scary stuff

hoping it's not true. :scared:
