The terrorist alert is going up again! -- CNN

[Kablooie]

Whenever Bush gets in trouble the terrorist alert goes up. Hmmm. What an odd coincidence.

Well, I guess I'll have to just forget all about the thousands of needless deaths that Bush has caused and start worrying about what the terrible terrorists might do to all of us.

1. another hearocane coming?

2. wtf is that for????

[Roland99]

3. Am I missing something? Something on cnn.com or tv?

[Kablooie]

4. It is on the CNN scroll bar.

[Roland99]

5. And it says what exactly? You see...I don't have cable/satellite

and I'm not alone in that regard.

8. Terrorist alert Elevated!

[VolcanoJen]

9. "Elevated" is the current terror threat level.

It's easy to see how that can be misread.

[Brightmore]

11. It's been Elevated or Yellow for quite some time now

[VolcanoJen]

7. Often, they scroll the CURRENT "terror threat level."

I've never understood why they always scroll it. I'm not even sure what the stupid colors mean anymore, and I thought that they abandoned that, anyway?

At any rate, I think if the terror threat level were being raised, it would be breaking news everywhere. Probably what you saw is just the current terror level.

6. We're going up to Red?

10. No terrorist has ever destroyed a whole city.

Perhaps we should think of New Orleans as George kicking sand in bin Ladin's face.

[SofaKingLiberal]

12. Right

If Al-Qaeda really wants to destroy America they don't need to hijack planes or bomb buildings they only need to funnel all the money they can into Republican campaigns.

13. Why are we even worried about outside terrorists?

Look what's happening inside our country.

[SofaKingLiberal]

14. That was kind of my point.

17. first laugh I've had all week!

Thanks!

15. As vulnerable as we are, I think a heightened alert is justifiable.

It wouldn't be big enough news to take people off NOLA, IMO.

16. whatever, it can go up to mauve for all i care.

just waiting 'til the people get the cojones to do something about the american junta... until i wait until it all collapses and/or china conquers CA to save us.
