Sudden Lull in Chatter "Worrisome"

From CNN:

#A drop in so-called "chatter" among suspected terrorists is troubling some counterterrorism officials, who noticed a reduction in intercepted communications before the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, government sources said.

Diminished communication prompted the concern because the counterterror experts don't know why suspected terrorists would be talking less. But they noted that similar reductions have happened several other times during the past few years.
Do I doubt that there are those who want to hurt America? Not at all.

But do I think the daily photos on CNN of burly armed officers protecting big banking, all the talk from the administration, all of this is just designed to scare people into electing Mr. Bush? Hell yes.
