49. White House says no evidence terrorist attack is nearing (Chertoff's gut not credible)

http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/81695.html

Washington - The White House said Wednesday there is "no credible intelligence" suggesting a possible terrorist attack against the United States this summer. "There continues to be no credible intelligence to suggest that there is an imminent threat to the homeland," Tony Fratto, a White House spokesman, said.

Fratto's comments came after Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune that he had a "gut feeling" al-Qaeda was poised to carry out an attack on US soil this summer.

Fratto said there was no emergency meeting planned at the White House to address terrorism - as reported by the Tribune - beyond a routine meeting Thursday.
