10. This "Al Qaeda" report sounds like a cover-up for * admin. destroying the

economy-the dollar is now worth $.7498 vs euro $1.3338.

Will China lead the stampede to drop the devalued dollar? It will take years to get this economy in better condition.

4. it was an "aspirational threat"

Two officials — a person familiar with the warning and a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security — said the group aimed to penetrate and destroy the databases of the U.S. stock market and banking Web sites.

Homeland Security said it had no evidence to corroborate the threat but had issued the warning out of an "abundance of caution." The department said in a statement that the threat was for all of December.

"There is no information to corroborate this aspirational threat. As a routine matter and out of an abundance of caution, US-CERT issued the situational awareness report to industry stakeholders," said Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke.

Official concern about the matter is low, NBC's Williams reported.

if you recall, the "abundance of caution" rationale was used to explain why the football stadium threat was made public.

6. So they're still getting their ideas from Tom Clancy, eh?

Also from the book Debt of Honor, I think. Maybe Tom's next book should be about terrorists stealing the sneeze-guards at the Applebee's salad bar.
