Living in terra...

So, members of the awol adminisration, namely Mr. Ashcroft says there is credible evidence of a credible threat in the next few months...a summer attack. Now I'm not sure if I remember right, but wasn't it the same scenario last summer? And around christmas? And Labor day? ALL YEAR, EVERY YEAR! Now I don't mind that the public is informed of these "threats", but they are always so vague. There have probably always been such threats. Unless they are a little more specific, I have to wonder why they are announced and what effect they might have on the average persons psyche. Behold, the propaganda machine. Here's a link to the article if anyone cares.
Just to add a bit to that, the day progresses and the news of "new, unspecified terra attacks" is everywhere. Every news site that I have visited, NPR every 30 minutes, in every newspaper tommorow. It's the same as every other terra alert. I wonder if they're going to change the color on the terra scale.
