hoping for changes
I was watching some news (I'm not watching a ton of it, actually) and there was a blurb in the bar on the bottom of the screen saying that the U.S. government's terrorism alert is on red, the highest possible. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it directly related to the attack on Iraq? Damn, this is scary.

are you sure? :scratch:

I saw it. I admit it, the station was Fox, not necessarily known for accuracy. My parents turned it on not me. I thought the terror alert was orange myself. So that's why the thing about red level caught my attention.
 
Yeah, I haven't heard about this, and if we're at red, I don't have to go to work (and honestly really wouldn't want to). :confused:
 
that's weird. it hasn't been on msnbc, and i just checked fox and it looks like it's still orange. fox likes to freak out a lot. maybe they spazzed out for a moment.
 
from the dept. of homeland security website:

fox has this dark orange on their alert crawl and it does say high -- very misleading because it looks red.

Damn, this is *not* cool. We're already nervous enough without the media contributing to the situation. The idiots!:madspit: :mad: :censored:

That's what it was. It did say "high" and honestly, that "orange" looked red to me.
I think I'll watch another station for news. Fox, you screwed up. :madspit: :mad: :censored:
 
Would it surprise anyone tho? I mean, ding ding ding, hello. What did people think this war was going to do? Make terrorists our friends?

Of course not. I was just asking about the screen on Fox TV, and what the government is doing, not asking what any terrorists might or might not actually be doing.
