Ok, so here's something I don't understand. If the US Gov't has intelligence about a few individuals possibly committing a terrorist attack, why not bring them in?
By no means am I advocating detaining and sending them to Guantanamo Bay, but if the US knows who the individuals are, then send out the order to bring them in for questioning Saturday morning, question them and hold them until the allowed 24 hours, and release them Sunday afternoon. If they truly are terrorists, that would really screw up their plan.

It seems CNN keeps changing the original title of the news brief, which is what was used for the thread... Might need to find more reliable sources...
What does that even mean, "we still have lots of chatter?" I mean....who's she implying is "chattering" and since when is a potentially "credible" terrorist threat termed "chatter?"
I get the feeling you are about as concerned as I am about this "threat." In my opinion, this is exactly what we should expect for the 10th Anniversary of 9/11....I mean, never pass up an opportunity to instill some "terrorist threat" fear into the population, right?

Just check which buildings or monuments have recently upgraded their insurance premiums.
That will shorten the list of targets

Anyone else find it unusual that this comes out now? Details leaked would tip off the planners, forcing them to change plans / tactics?
Normally I dont buy into conspiracies, however this seems to convienent for some reason.
The report said the suspected terrorists are believed to have embarked on their journey to America from Afghanistan, taking a route that took them through at least one other country, "possibly Iran." Link

Here's your Iran connection...

So, now 3 players and counting - Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan
