Why hasn't the TERRA alert been raised to RED?!

[wanpete]

They have obviously busted a terra cell that planned and had the ability to carry out terrifying feats. Why no color changes? :sarcasm:

This administration never ceases their predictability. Whenever the subject needs to be changed, or headlines from the war are horrid, inject a dose of terra to scare the sheeple back into mindlessness.

My prayer is that this does not work any longer.

1. Total agreement here...

and does it seem like the usual news hawkers on CNN seem, shall we say, skeptical??

[geomon666]

2. I'm going to wait until more details are brought out...

before I decide they were an obvious terrorist cell with the ability to light a firecracker under a shoe let alone a big bomb.

[Erika]

3. Because the right wing has considered Black Muslims

terrorists for decades?

[pitohui]

4. because red is when we are actually under attack

you meant to ask why it hasn't been raised to orange

that is because the state governors said they could no longer afford the cost of compliance w. the safety and security steps required when it's orange and they told the feds to stop w. the orange alerts already because they wouldn't be able to comply

we are going to be yellow forever and forever amen...sort of like the chickenhawks themselves!

5. The 2004 election is over.

[TomClash]

6. Give them time

It's never too late for fear. Remember the Republican mantra, "You have everything to Fear, including Fear itself."

[MadMaddie]

7. I wonder how many Timothy McVeighs this administration is

deliberatly overlooking.....so they can find a convenient minority Muslim group and claim that they have prevented something from happening....

[Erika]

8. Good question McVeigh was a white Christian

The right wingers conveniently forget that the Oklahoma Federal building was destroyed by a white Christian Supremacist. So much for religion.

[glarius]

9. Finally they admit to home grown terror cells in the U.S.A & Canada is

not being blamed. They have been watching hundreds of people for quite a while, according to CNN and yet never let on but allowed the American people to think that the big threat was from that "hot bed of terrrorism"....Canada.

11. Are they going to attack Miami because terrorists are there?

Maybe they'll rope off Florida. They need to do away with Florida government and take over this land to regain control and show terrorists are not in charge. This is another Afghanistan or Iraq.

Republican logic.

[wanpete]

12. this logic is mainly reserved for foreign countries whose population

is brown and whose religion is not Christian and whose people's lives are considered expendable.

[Erika]

13. Sadly, you are so true

This country seems to show little sensitivity to the thousands of Iraqis killed in W's war.

I was appalled at the lack of sensitivity shown to the Iraqis. I reviewed it with my Japanese/American friend. He said there is no outrage about the civilians killed because they are not white. We care about white deaths, but not others.

[madrchsod]

10. simple-costs to much money

and no one cares what fucking color it is

[Blue-Jay]

14. Do we even DO terror alert colors anymore?

I only ask because I've been feeling a bit salmon (made-up Crayola color) lately.

[sutz12]

15. I expect to see several Orange Alerts between now and Nov.

That's what they did to Kerry. :evilfrown:

[mcctatas]

16. They're waiting until someone else in the administration gets indicted?

or election day so they can count the votes in secret.
