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

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

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.

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).

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?

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.

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.

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.
