terror alert status raised

I was just reading on AOL news about Iraq and what's going on there at the moment - one thing caught my attention in particular: At a suburban school [in Iraq], 14-year-old boys were ordered to dig a series of trenches about 10 feet long and 5 feet deep, while chanting, "This may look like a trench, but it's not, it's George W. Bush's grave." How messed up is that? These are only 14 year old kids, then again, you can't believe everything you read. Interesting how attitudes have apparently changed in recent days. The latest AOL Polls show 76% of people polled (of 35,000 AOL members) now support a war against Iraq, and of that 76%, the bulk of them have indicated 'strongly support' as opposed to just 'support'. A few weeks back it was a totally different story. leave a comment

The terrorism alert status has again been raised to orange, one level below the maximum high alert status. Some of Saddam Hussein's statements infer possible attacks on US interests outside of Iraq, which is obviously not good - NYC always seems to be at the top of those sorts of lists.
