Terrorist attack in U.S. expected

I'm sorry to be all doomsday on a Moday morning but frankly it's the reality of the day.

White House officials and those in the intelligence community feel a terrorist attack on U.S. soil during the run up to the November elections is imminent. Suspected targets include: (1) U.S. Capitol and other notables in D.C.; and/or (2) smaller targets in large cities such as DC, NY, etc.

I wish I felt safer than I did just after 9/11/01, but with the incidents at Abu Ghraib, our blundering of Iraq in general, Osama still on the loose, and reprehensible stories like this now coming to light, it's hard not to think the Madrid bombing is coming our way.
