Chertoff Has “Gut Feeling” About Terrorism July 10, 2007
Posted by Webmaster in Terrorism.trackback
In an unusually blunt and frank assessment of America’s terror threat level, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said in Chicago this morning that his “gut feeling” is the nation faces a heightened chance of an attack this summer.
“I believe we are entering a period this summer of increased risk,” Chertoff told the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board.
Calling it “a gut feeling” based on past patterns of terrorists in Europe, recent al-Qaeda statements and intelligence he did not disclose, Chertoff said of terrorists: “Summertime seems to be appealing to them. … We worry that they are rebuilding their activities.”
A recent terror plot in London and Scotland has America’s defense system on alert, Chertoff said. He urged Americans to be attentive if something appears suspicious. But he said there is an assessment “not of a specific threat, but of increased vulnerability.”
Chertoff is for open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens, he sits back like a doily and let the U.S. Justice Department railroad his ICE and U.S. Border Patrol agents into prison, and he panders to the decidedly anti-racial profiling NAACP. If he has a “gut feeling” that we’re going to be hit by terrorist attacks this summer, perhaps it is because his brain is telling his gut that his actions are causing the “increased risk.”
