"Goss warns of terror threat to U.S."
So, somewhere, sometime in the future, something bad might happen to someone within a couple thousand miles of you.
Not that we should ignore this, but it's idiotic to have CNN blowing the FUD trumpet.
Unless you happen to be in Iraq, in which case it's more of a "how many today" type of situation.
But it's bad to think about real people getting blowing up. It's much more productive for people to be randomly afraid of nonspecific threats so that they'll be happy when authority figures abuse and harass them because then the authority figure is Doing Something.
Ignorance is strength.
Fear is happiness.
I'm confused.. it's not election time!
