Feds issue security bulletins on stadiums, hotels - Yahoo! News

Quote:

WASHINGTON – Counterterrorism officials have issued security bulletins about terrorist interest in attacking sports stadiums, entertainment complexes and hotels.

The FBI and Homeland Security Department sent two bulletins Monday to police around the country, saying they know of no specific plots against such sites. The bulletins obtained by The Associated Press say those sites remain attractive targets to groups like al-Qaida.

The memos do not mention the ongoing high-profile investigation of a possible terrorist plot involving a Colorado man and associates in New York City. Instead, they describe the long-standing interest of terrorists to use homemade backpack bombs, car bombs, or even airplanes to attack such crowded public places.

The quote is the article in its entirety. Not too long.

I may be over imaginative but, when I read the above I imagine some really old, evil sage rasping to his king commanders.

This is just more of the politics of fear.

Why do y'all think this is the politics of fear? What would the politics part of it be, what would they be trying to accomplish?

It seems related to the terror probes in Denver and NY to me. I don't know, the reporting on those probes seems like there was something real there. It makes me uneasy ...

Here's some other articles about it:

That's what I was thinking. I don't know what they'd be trying to accomplish if they were playing politics?

I can see the billboards already.
