Comments:Spies warn of October Al-Qaeda operations

Is this just a coincidence it comes from mostly conservative news sources?--74.46.223.68 07:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Only conservatives are so obsessive about this stuff. :P --Poisonous (talk) 08:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

US intelligence couldn't intercept a fumbled pass - this is propaganda. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:02, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Although news, I agree with brianmc. Though only thing we can do is wait and see. Of course if nothing happens in October then they can stand up and say that this 'report' foiled a terrorist attack or plan. Then they can say that Americans are "reassured".

 * I have left a far stronger comment on the article's talk, this should never have been published. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Lets not pay attention
Because Fox news was the first too report it. Fracking idiots.--66.229.17.181 15:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

The point where this is suspect is less from Fox, than that it is near another election. Propaganda is often used to manipulate populations for political purposes, and in the U.S. this has been done so many times in the recent past I am certain that is all that this ultra-vague and ambiguous story exists for. 72.154.55.191 15:19, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

And conspiracy theorists who believe the tragedy of 9/11 was US gov't engineered will doubtlessly see any sort of terrorist attack in October as a GOP staged effort to snag another 4 years. --63.170.55.63 16:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Why do you bring up unrelated topics? Are you trolling 63? 72.154.55.191 16:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Unrelated topics 72? The amusing thing to my mind is, which way does everyone think the direction of influence would be if there were another terrorist attack against the US or a US ally? The article says that Al-Qaeda want to influence elections, and we all(they included certainly) know which way worries over terrorist attacks have traditionally influenced popular opinion...[]

The other amusing thing that leaps to mind is, how often has the terror colour coding system has gone down to "general levels of risk" or "low risk". I'll give you a hint, it starts with 'N' and ends in 'ever'. Since the start of the Homeland Security Advisory System, the USA has not once been in a state of typical concern, only elevated or higher. Of course, the word elevated means something right? A comparison to some sort of base level? "Medium" is the smallest(not medium-sized) drink or french-fry you can buy at certain stores, and "Elevated" is the lowest that the terror level gets. Congrats on playing right into the terrorists' hands by cultivating a culture where everyone is terrified of potential attacks. 130.15.149.128 18:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
