Yellow Alert - Elevated
Just started on the CNN scroll.

Rumsfeld's in trouble. Coincidence??

3. That's what it's been at for months...
It's never been lower than Yellow Alert.

Wonder why they feel the need to remind us?

:eyes:

9. Here I thought they meant elevated FROM yellow. Thought that
might have explained the market drop. Guess not. :shrug:

4. Isn't Yellow where it's been for a while
We had Orange after X-Mas, but it's been Yellow since, right?

6. this is the final proof that the Terror Alerts serve only to distract
Granted, I do think that we're in more danger than ever before as I imagine that the number of able-bodied men in the Arab / Muslim world who don't want some payback for what the U.S. has done in the past year can now be counted on one hand. Once these new photos & video come out, that number might go to zero.

13. I can't believe that the State Security Alarm System was turned on....
This is a security alert system....blah...blah..blah... It came on as Levin was giving his remarks and Levin remarks were not broadcasted. I turned to all the other channels and the damn state alarm system was blocking all the other channels too. Funny thing is, the damn alarm went off a few times during the 911 hearings. Has any other state experienced this bullshit?

14. Yellow alert?
Well what shade are they putting out there now?

There's creamy yellow which of course is less
alarming than say mustard yellow which is much
closer to the dreaded tangerine orange which is
of course not as alarming as sunset orange which
is several shades away from canary yellow which
is probably the shade that is running down the
spine of Rumsfeld right about now.

16. Shouldn't Torturegate command at least an orange alert?
Why are they so confident?

17. It's been at Yellow since early this year. Yellow = "Elevated."
Remember the Christmas Terror Scare?? That's the last time the "threat level" rose from "yellow."

CNN often scrolls the current threat level. The current "color" means absolutely nothing.
