I'm amused by the "increased chatter" claim. When terrorists plan a hit, do they start talking about it at lot with a lot of people before they do it?
We recently when to the highest alert since the start fo the new alert system. What possible purpose could it serve, along with suggestings of buying duct tape and plastic, other than to use fear to get more support for the war against Iraq?

It can hardly be an accident that the warnings specifically referred to the heightened possibility of a terrorist attack through this weekend, coinciding with mass demonstrations on every continent that are expected to bring 10 to 15 million people into the streets. Already, the attempts to organize such protests in the US have met with unprecedented attacks on fundamental democratic rights, with the New York City Police Department, backed by a posse of federal judges, denying demonstrators the right to march.
Some good points.
