Seeing Colors Everywhere

It may well be that articles about the color-coded terrorist threat warning system are getting as tedious and hard to pay attention to as the warnings themselves, but I was gratified to see Rep. Chris Cox (R-Calif) agreeing with me. Newsweek reports:

Cox said that, at a minimum, Homeland Security should scrap the one-size-fits-all color-coded approach and adopt a more nuanced system in which there are individualized warnings for particular geographic regions or economic sectors about which there might actually be hard intelligence.

Also in the Newsweek story: As anyone who has paid attention to the dates of their past strikes (Aug. 7, Sept. 11, Oct. 12) would know, there's no particular reason to think al Queda is more of a threat on the holidays.

Does anyone think the holiday uptick in terror threats is someone's ploy to demoralize us?

[Sarpy Sam]

The whole terror alert system brings the boy who cried wolf fable into my mind. Keep raising the alert level and eventually nobody will pay attention to it.

It works well to tell the terrorists when NOT to attack.

This whole discussion is illogical.

It presupposes that the intelligence is detailed enough to pinpoint geographic regions or economic sectors. What if it's not?

What if the gov were to issue an alert for one area, and another was the target of an attack?

Whoever claimed the reason for the holiday alert was because it was a "holiday"? I thought there were some issues with passenger lists on foreign airline carriers.

As to crying wolf -- I thought it was *several* months ago that the terror alert was raised to what seen over the holidays. How is that crying wolf?

Anyone else creeped out by Iraq's Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani's resemblance to the late Iranian madman Khomeini?

It would seem that attacks are most likely when on days +2/-2 of the number of the month.

So we really need to elevate our threat level for the four days centered around new years 12/30 - 1/3 (which they did).

Coming up we have the 1/31 - 2/4 span.
...followed by 3/1 - 3/5, etc.

We obviously tend to see attacks in the early fall because the terrorists are used to hot climates and prefer summertime for preparing their attacks.
