So perhaps the terror alert is another part of the grand hoax. Possibly.. But to correlate with my "conspiracy theory" (since it probably qualifies as more than a hypothesis), then the terror alert would be real, since the goal is to "shake the trees" and see who sticks their heads up to comply with Bin Laden's (real or contrived) tape.. And I certainly don't believe that all of these threat warnings they are receiving are contrived... Most would be Al-Qaeda, or copy cats, engaged in REAL planning... Yeah.. my idea is very controversial, and fraught with potential "blow back" scenarios.. But if you want to catch a bunch of illusive terrorists hunkering down, then you have to entice them to give themselves away somehow.. especially if they are unsure if their leader(s) have survived.. But we'll never know whether I'm correct or merely delusional.. :0) There would be far too much to lose by revealing such an operation. Hawk
