Duh.

"The WH is not characterizing this as a threat."

Governor (R) never broke his stride today.

What a crock!

3. I think that is guaranteed. 911 redux
It worked once; it WILL work again.
Bush will get his marshall law and phase II
of cheney's evil plan will kick in full force.

5. What would happen if ...
... they gave a Terror Alert, and nobody came!

With all of the faked terror threats (coincidental with bad news for this admin) that have turned out to be nothing, are we approaching a time when no one, not even the 'people in charge', will bother?

Imagine Wolf Blitzer arriving on the scene of the latest 'threat', only to watch the appropriate responders slowly showing up, yawning with boredom, coffee in hand, looking at their watches with that 'Okay, when can I go leave' look on their faces.

At the rate these phony alerts are coming at us, and the obvious timing thereof, isn't it just a matter of time?

6. Same bullshit as NYC ........
I was watching this on local newz .......

"unspecified threat"

"overseas chatter"

"Feds say report was from an unreliable source"

"Feds advised against this action"

"Overabundance of caution"

"Decision made at the local level"

"No comment. No comment. No comment"

As a side bar, they arrested a couple of people associated with a 'middle eastern market' and showed helicopter shots of the police questioning two guys in front of a local ethnic grocery. Teevee newz sez these guys 'are connected with the investigation of the threat to the tunnel'.

Keep in mind ... Maryland has an Amerinazi for a governor. I'm just sayin' .....

8. Does the terralert mean that Fitz is indicting today?
I've been assuming he'll do it on Halloween, not only because it's so fitting to grab the ghouls on that day, but because it lets him spend every possible minute digging up dirt.
