Trick or treat! Well, we now have the lastest chapter in the ongoing saga, 'Halloween bin Laden.' Namely, now yet again bomb threats aimed right at the very same people who have the usual knee-jerk reaction of running off to Bush and Cheney everytime anyone says 'boo.' We know from the past that the 'terrorists' attack quite specific targets and subways, planes and trains are at the very tip top of that short list. Not football stadiums.
CNN is currently reporting dirty bomb threats targeting specific NFL stadiums.Law enforcement agencies and the Department of Homeland Security indicate that there is no reason to believe the threats are credible, but add that they are alerting the stadiums involved.
The threats are reported to have surfaced on a website called "The Friend Society" in a post called "New Attacks on America: Be Afraid."
Unlike the 'Bin Laden Determined To Attack In The USA' briefing which had many elements pointing to 9/11, this 'threat' is probably a typical prank threat. Namely, at no time have any terrorists advertised their impending attacks. In around 100% of the previous cases, they kept everything as secret as possible.
Going off to a webpage to chat about it is pure silliness.
I looked up this web page and got an October 14th snapshot but it no longer links to anything.
Homeland security has moved fast to eliminate what looks to me to be a rather crappy website. I really wanted to see the actual 'threat' and figure out what is really going on but now it is all wiped out so we have to take them for their word which is worth about as much as a bucket of spit.
If you click here you get the 'Forbidden' message.
As always, the election can't happen unless a bunch of Republicans are running around with their pants down screaming, 'Terror!' This disgusting cycle is coupled with cheaper gasoline and plenty of booze. Maybe we should start a daycare or psychiatric hospital for these voters. Then they will be safe and can suck on their lollipops in peace.
You'd think they could at least get a credible web designer.
The FBI wants isp's to store data so they can fight "terror" and kiddie porn.
The same FBI that couldn't get around to investigating why someone would want to learn to fly a 747 without learning how to land it.
Would you buy a used car from this FBI?

"the election can't happen unless a bunch of Republicans are running around with their pants down screaming, 'Terror!'"
There's an image. Thanks, Elaine, you'll excuse me but I need to go wash out my brain with bleach.
