Air France security cancellations
: Breaking news that six flights into and out of France were canceled because of security concerns. What’s sobering is that this wasn’t something they saw on the flight but was, instead, done because of American intelligence. The chatter is getting louder and louder. I wonder (and hope) whether this is just an effort to harass us (“Hey, Osama, let’s start speaking French and see what happens…”) but I fear it’s real.

I have it on pretty good authority that this most recent “Orange Alert” is the most serious yet. Just in time for the Holidays!

I went over to my sister’s place Monday night to watch the football game. Her husband works in the airline industry and she told me that his airline had received an advisory that Al Qaeda had penetrated Air France and a Mexican airline. Today’s news gave her Air France remark credibility but I haven’t seen anything regarding threats from any Mexican carriers. I wonder if that shoe will drop tomorrow or in the days to come.

I think one talking head nailed it. He said that they would have to have powerful proof of the danger, to get the french flights cancelled. And I think he is right.

thats no powerful proof. only the us regime trying to spread fear throughout the world. i don’t think the french will fall for it, though.
goint to orange alert over x-mas? that’s exactly what i’d do if i wanted my people to blindly follow me into more and more wars. kinda like the eurasia wars in orwell’s 1984. -

Right, so we should just ignore any and all threats to our national sovereignty because … Bush is evil. Have I got this correct? -
I’d just say it’s really hard to figure out what is a real threat and what’s politics.

here’s another nice threat to your so-“national sovereignty”:
“The FBI is warning police nationwide to be alert for people carrying almanacs, cautioning that the popular reference books covering everything from abbreviations to weather trends could be used for terrorist planning.”
