U.S. Headed for 'Heightened Alert' Stage
Exclusive: Major Events on the Horizon Prompt a Surge in Anti-Terror Efforts
By PIERRE THOMAS

July 28, 2008—

Government officials have been quietly stepping up counterterror efforts out of a growing concern that al Qaeda or similar organizations might try to capitalize on the spate of extremely high-profile events in the coming months, sources tell ABC News.

Security experts point to next month's Olympics as evidence that high-profile events attract threats of terrorism, like the one issued this past weekend by a Chinese Muslim minority group that warned of its intent to attack the Games.

Anti-terror officials in the U.S. cite this summer and fall's lineup of two major political parties' conventions, November's general election and months of transition into a new presidential administration as cause for heightened awareness and action.

This is what the Department of Homeland Security is quietly declaring a Period of Heightened Alert, or POHA, a time frame when terrorists may have more incentive to attack.

According to drafts of government memos described to ABC News, the period would run roughly from this August through July 2009.

3. Yep.

I am sure people will overlook that and just blame the candidate for not getting his message out. Just sayin.

[Parche]

5. Run Republicans Run

Under the table, you Yellow ignorant fools...........

:grr::grr: :hi:

[valerief]

6. It would be unusual if they hadn't. They need the terror alert right

before the scheduled terror attack and martial law.

[high density]

7. After Tom Ridge left I thought that was the end of this bullshit?

I figure if we have a terror attack, it will be by "Iraqis" so that McCain can tell us all that we really do need to fight in Iraq for 100 years after all.

[AllentownJake]

12. No I remember they started again

in 2006 around September...

[az chela]

8. I think we all were waiting for this

GEEZ what color will it be???? UUMMMMM purple????

[AllentownJake]

9. I was wondering when the terror alert was going to get raised

Wow they are panicking this is alot earlier than expected. I didn't expect a terror alert for another month.

Odd how the terrorist get all crazy right around election time :shrug:

[Virginia Dare]

10. The only thing that I'm alert for..

is the repukes trying to lie steal and cheat through this election any way they can.

[az chela]

11. Forgot to mention ,thats an awesome picture

A REAL WINNING TEAM

[AndyA]

13. Terra terra terra. I think they should call it a POS alert.

In honor of his Majesty, King George. A leader only in his own mind. :puke:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. people need to watch them very closely that they don't do a terror attack

that means that friendly countries need to stick together and stop this!

[11 Bravo]

15. That was eminently predictable.

It is literally all they've got ... FEAR FEAR TERRA FEAR TERRA TERRA FEAR! (And, oh yeah, Obama hates the truth.)

[screembloodymurder]

16. Actually it's for the economic terror

and we need to be on alert.

[TexasObserver]

17. The TERROR policies of Bush have been designed to TERRORIZE Americans.

[paparush]

18. Cheney.

The Dark Lord is busy..up late..in his lair. Pacing. Knotted brow. Reading through dusty tomes.

[grillo7]

19. I thought they would wait until Spetember. Must be worried... n/t

[RC]

20. Impeach and remove Richard Bruce Cheney, stuff him into an Orange

jump suit and ship him to the Hague to stand trial for his war crimes and watch the terrorism just fade away.

[nc4bo]

21. ABC News "advertised" the alert yesterday and today.........

it's CNN's turn.

Not on the website but on cable about 1/2 hour or so ago.

Today's terror topic is the horror, invincibleness and whole sale destruction caused by truck bombs (especially truck bombs detonated in urban settings).

Which network will start screaming terra tomorrow? Stayed tuned.

[Summer93]

22. Little reinforcements.....

That index finger pointing outward is in the hand that has three pointed backward toward the person holding that hand. Yes, those in charge are trying to terrorize Americans. I see it in small things. The web channel for news for Channel 4 (CBS) in my area. Each video I chose attached the video about McCain's skin cancer. It was sort of like an advertisement. I found it at the end of FOUR videos. After that I went to another "channel" as I was looking for news. I didn't find the same time.
Now, if you are sensitive to seeing stuff about skin cancer this might just reinforce it.

When Republicans point to whoever is doing wrong it usually turns out to be them!

[demo dutch]

23. No surprise there, that was going to be a given!!!!

[cliffordu]

24. That train's never late....

[AspenRose]

A huge terror threat could delay the elections!

Whoopee!
