Secret Document: U.S. Fears Terror 'Spectacular' Planned

A secret U.S. law enforcement report, prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, warns that al Qaeda is planning a terror "spectacular" this summer, according to a senior official with access to the document.

U.S. officials have kept the information secret, and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said today on ABC News' "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" that the United States did not have "have any specific credible evidence that there's an attack focused on the United States at this point."

As ABCNews.com reported, U.S. law enforcement officials received intelligence reports two weeks ago warning of terror attacks in Glasgow and Prague, the Czech Republic, against "airport infrastructure and aircraft."

The warnings apparently never reached officials in Scotland, who said this weekend they had received "no advance intelligence" that Glasgow might be a target.

Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff declined to comment specifically on on the report today, but said "everything that we get is shared virtually instantaneously with our counterparts in Britain and vice versa."

Unlike the United States, officials in Germany have publicly warned that the country could face a major attack this summer, also comparing the situation to the pre-9/11 summer of 2001.

Apparently ABC is not interested in helping security by keeping the document secret.

NY Times, now ABC... I certainly hope this was a calculated leak by DHS, otherwise some heads need to finally start rolling.

Our news services are the best intelligence the terrorists can buy.



To: BenLurkin

Just a guess, but I would wager that it is no longer a secret document.

The media claims that the Bush Administration is overstating the threat from international terrorism and they screaming that “we” aren’t being open about the threat posed by specific terrorist groups. The Nattering Naybobs of Negativity should ask John Freeloadin’ Kerry how much terrorism it takes to rise about his acceptable “nuisance level” of terrorism.

"If we ever went beyond virtual security, virtual fences, or

virtual warnings to the American people or Scotland,

al Qaeda and La Raza might be upset. I simply cannot permit that."

IMO it’s only a matter of time. We allow tens of thousands of people to come and stay in our nation from states where the populace hates us. In round about manners we actually allow people to enter from states that allow terrorist training camps on their soil. When it happens our leaders will voice astonishment that any of these practices could lead to tens of thousands of dead U.S. citizens. I’ve got a good idea. Why not close more bases, specifically air bases that would allow us to get aircraft in the air over D.C. or New York city. Before 09/11 our brain-trusts seemed to think this was a super idea.

As ABCNews.com reported, U.S. law enforcement officials received intelligence reports two weeks ago warning of terror attacks in Glasgow and Prague, the Czech Republic, against "airport infrastructure and aircraft." This seems to be standard operational procedure for the media ... immediately after a terrorist attack release a news bulletin stating that a warning had been received by authorities prior to the attack. With the clear implication that official bungling was somehow to blame ...

Congressman Peter King (the ranking Republican on the Homeland Security Committee) said on WABC Radio’s Religion on the Line program this morning that the “chatter” going on on the terrorist networks is at the same level as the summer of 2001; and that it looks like a “difficult” summer. (He didn’t mention any secret document though.)

As if we really needed to read this to know the basic truth therein.

Homeland Security and our news people are to busy helping the illegals feel more at home.

“7/7/7 seems a date that would draw these nutjobs.” That’s why I changed my flight to 7/6.

A secret U.S. law enforcement report, prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, warns that al Qaeda is planning a terror "spectacular" this summer, according to a senior official with access to the document. OK, so what do we do. Just react and try to find who's

responsible. That doesn't make any sense, since these

guys die with their "spectacular act". For once, why don't we say what WE WILL DO. Namely,

blow up the hate mosques. If it really is a horrific

act, than Medina & Mecca disappear. They spend a few thousand dollars on their terrorist

act and we spend billions + precious lives as a response. Wake up! End this blackmail once and for all. Tell these

guys this is what to expect.
