The Nazz was on to something, but it looks like they're hinting here at raising the threat level.

Another terrorist attack?

*yawns*

Does anyone actually take that thing seriously anymore?

No I don't think anyone does after the fiasco that was Tom Ridge.

Terror attack?

OHHHH yea it's election time!

Jeebus...

Man, I was WAY off in the pool...

Man, I was WAY off in the pool...
You have to admit it was quick.

For the sake of peace, eill america ever SHUT UP ABOUT THIS STUFF??

Threat level magenta, threat level magenta!

Don't give up yet.

I think we will see a couple changes in the threat level so it isn't obviously related to the elections......

The media seems to always be looking for something to screw with the American psyche. Fuck them...

Privately, they say, they'd be surprised if it didn't come by the end of the election year.

That's better.

Threat level magenta, threat level magenta!
Bbbbbblackwatch Plaid!!!


there has to a be a Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law fan out there somewhere...

Hmmm how do we know it's not really you Canadian bastards!?!?!

*starts humming "Blame Canada, Blame Canada!"

:p

Well, the alert status hasn't changed yet, so the pool is still open--plenty of good dates still available (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=486220).

Inch High Man!!!

Me too, I picked late November. Let's hope they can contain themselves until then.

If you're wondering why they're thinking of rasing the terror alert, look no further:
Terror alert issues versus Bush's approval ratings

Anyone else notice a pattern there?

Newsflash
the Threat Level has Just been raised...

cus people kept tripping over it.

While they didn't raise it, they did their little 'boo' on an election day, at least here in California.

Yes. I still think they're going to raise it earlier than thought.

Here we go October :).

I think it sould hold out till atleast September..

Well a "terrorist" attack is a much needed comodity in today's political-economic structure. It would be essential to put America back on track by reminding it of its duty to build up mega-wealthy corporations to supply the war effort while sending the poor off to die in sand. While we're at it, don't forget to bring up the gay marriage issue again as well, so the voters remember to go ahead and give another Bush the White House.

It's a beige alert!

So we are catching terrorists. Thats good and all, but:

Police in Toledo, Ohio, busted another cell in February. This one consisted of three men training to attack U.S. forces overseas. Once again, luck played a role. When they tried to enlist someone in their mosque to help, he turned them in.

How 'bout that patriot act and those warrantless wiretaps?

The recent spate of arrests in Canada, the UK, the US, etc., are due to monitoring of email.
