They say that hindsight is 20/20...well, Richard Clarke and the US intelligence community has that hindsight now...I wouldn't be scared to go out or afraid to ride the subway, but I would keep in mind that ignoring these suggestions of being alert and aware are your choice.

I know, I know..."the bushies are trying to scare us and take away our rights"..."this is just a scare tactic to keep the sheeple in line"... blah blah blah...maybe...maybe not...

The officials have been warning us for a week now. They say an attack is imminent. Then so is a stock market crash, is it not? The market will crash when this 'imminent' attack happens, won't it? Is it time for everyone to sell all their stocks?

Eric, read the story..."It does not mean an attack is necessarily imminent."...And you asked the same questions regarding the stock market in another posting, so I'm not sure what your point is, other than being antagonistic or sarcastic.

The market withstood 9/11...and it was covered in 3k dead bodies and and a bunch of debris...I'm sure remote locations are set up in the event that the exchange itself is destroyed...

And who needs "official warnings"? Don't be naive...you're instinct should have been keeping you on your toes since the winter of 1993...

If something were to happen I would have no problem with President Bush declaring Marshall Law and cancelling the 2008 presidential election.

The next terror attack is a nice story, but I'm not sure I'm worried about it. It seems to be a toss-up between that and the following; social security running out, health insurance rising too fast, global warming and its destruction of our planet, possible civil war in 30 years between all of the illegals and the minority "white" U.S. population, west nile, triple E, and anything else I forgot to mention. Sleep well.

Jazz, your last comment was ludicrous on so many levels....

Be specific, Adam...make a point...

BUSH trying to get his and cheney's poll numbers up...scare scare scare...let's do a background check on the next person who may become our leader to see if he or she is a nut before election time...please please please...no more cheneyees or bushies

I don't understand the significance of the 'chatter.' My understanding of how an al Queda cell works is that they are totally independent and can plan and executive pretty much at will, with minimum input from headquarters. So, who would be chattering to whom? And about what? I thought each cell was isolated and no one knew the details of 9/11, except top echelon. Presumably if another attack is in the works, very few al Queda would know.

I don't buy it Jazz. The market is bound to crash when this imminent terror attack hits. You would be a fool to hold stocks in this extremely dangerous environment. Your retirement money would disappear in an instant.

It's a sad thing when you don't trust your own president. Unfortunately such is the case and skeptism about this type of "leak" about an imminent attack means little to nothing to anyone anymore.

If we do get attacked, it would be the creme de la creme failure of this administration with all their over spending, bloated government, spying and wars of choice, all of which was done to 'keep us safe' and none of which would have worked??? Then we truly have threwn out the baby with the bath water in when we allowed him to make this 'democracy' which was more like pseudo facism at bush's height of scare tactics.

I hope we are as brave and chin-up about terrorism as the English. They are brave sort. I was impressed how they handled their near miss.

Jenny, were you born after 9/11/01? Questioning whether WE are as brave as the Brits? Did you not see the reaction of the American people, pulling together and getting their game face on. Going back to work, especially in New York City? You are a true nutroot to compare Bush to a fascist. Your ignorance of events is stunning. I bet you think 9/11 was an "inside job" and that we never walked on the moon, right?

Jarhead, well said. I'm I'm English to boot!

when it happens, and it will, the republicans will blame former president Clinton bet on it

Everyone of you needs to get a grip! HELLO?! When will we get it together? The events of today were foretold 2000 years ago, but nobody seems to believe all the things spoke of by the prophets. We are living in the "times of the end" - Want to be prepared? better catch up on your reading!!!

Bash Jenny all you want, the point still stands. If a similar attack happens what good has all this done. I'll admit that several attacks have been thwarted in no small part because of the increased security, but if the attacks persist then obviously we aren't dealing with the root of the problem. I'm not saying we should lay down our arms and capitulate but this is not a black and white issue, there is a lot of grey area.

Hey jujubean...Are you serious? Bush declaring Marshall Law and cancelling the 2008 presidential election??? HAHA That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while. What will it accomplish? Bush sending us to another ruthless war? I can hear it now...‘Let’s attack Antarctica…’ HA
You should be shipped to the south pole. No offence BTW :)

"Marshall Law" ??

Maybe you are confusing the Marshall Plan (which involves rebuilding after an attack -- see "Post-WWII Europe") with martial law (see "Peri-WWII Germany")?

It's only a matter of when but who cares anymore. The people in charge who need to make leadership type judgements just aren't there. Just live.

Clark is no fan of Bush and I trust what he puts out there. Starting to consider this more seriously. Then again, I've figured we would have another one any way so it's hardly surprising.
