U.S. Sees Drop in Terrorist Threats..........hhhmmmmm

Reports of credible terrorist threats against the United States are at their lowest level since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according to U.S. intelligence officials and federal and state law enforcement authorities.

The intelligence community's daily threat assessment, developed after the terrorist attacks to keep policymakers informed, currently lists, on average, 25 to 50 percent fewer threats against domestic targets than it typically did over the past two years, said one senior counterterrorism official.

1. That's because they shut down
most of their noise machine after the election. Plus the outing of Gannon really hurt websites like Talon News, GOPUSA and Bush Country that generated a lot of the noise for the last 3.5 years.

3. No more terror alerts since the election? wonder why?
I guess we won't have any more until midterm elections get hot next summer.

4. That is because Bush has given his 'terrorists'from the CIA a well
deserved vacation.

5. Those guys don't take vacations
their just gearing up for the next big surprise. It takes a lot of planning and people to pull off a 9-11 event.

6. A hiatus would probably be a better description.

7. But didn't you hear Ashcroft say that the job of securing America
from terror was complete and that's why he was leaving?
