TERROR ALERT ORANGE

The terror alert level's about to go up from orange to red.

The US terror alert will soon see a spike from orange to red, or so say senior U.S. intelligence officials. Speaking before congress recently, high ranking members of the CIA and FBI issued warning after warning, promising death and destruction at the hands of al-Qaeda. After ten years and only two failed attacks made by people with little to no direct connection with bin Laden’s terror group, you’d think these FBI suits would dream up another cabal of boogeymen.

While they may have given up on finding another al-Qaeda, CIA director Leon Panetta made it clear that his organization’s got another thing stuck in its craw. “It’s the lone-wolf strategy that I think we have to pay attention to as the main threat to this country,” Panetta said, indicating that the CIA’s now devoting resources to tracking and capturing alienated, crazy individuals. Great, sounds like an even worse goose chase than the two we’re on already.
