How to get you to support the current president. It's an old old trick. Promote fear. Only question remaining is who really is the source of this speculative article. He looked Arabic and did not smile back. Dear god. The world is going to end. Did I mention the Arabic looking character driving slowly through my neighborhood looking at front doors?

I believe the guy wrote a book called "Give me a Break". Promote fear and suddenly enemies are everywhere.

Last time Ashcroft tried to promote fear, the centrist Tom Ridge instead said it was nonsense (chatter was not unusual) and refused to raise the Warning to Orange. This must have infuriated the extremists who needed that threat warning for that week's approval numbers.
