Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff, citing a "gut feeling" on Tuesday, told the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune that al-Qaeda could attack the United States this summer. Chertoff based his assessment on a personal hunch, admitting that there was not enough evidence of a pending attack to raise the nation's threat level. Rather, Chertoff had studied terrorist patterns and some undisclosed intel to come up with his determination.

"I believe we are entering a period this summer of increased risk," he said. "Summertime seems to be appealing to them."

All I can say is

More people in charge using "gut" feelings.

Did you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you do in your head?

This guy knows what's up, the gut is where the truth lies.

These guys have been totally wrong about everything since day one. Why should we listen to their instincts again?

but i thought we were fighting them over there so that we wouldn't have to fight them over here?

Whoever read that... probably read it in a book. Everyone knows facts and reality have this wierd liberal bias.
