No Web site does a better job of getting "behind the music" on terrorism and geo-political maneuverings than Debka. For the uninitiated, it's a site of Israeli origin an it relies on sources within the intelligence services of various countries for its news scoops and analysis. I've been accessing this site since last September and the information provided has been consistently ahead of the domestic news cycle by a few weeks and it reports on events completely ignored by the traditional media outlets.

This past few week's reports have been particularly chilling and they come up with a working model that connects the dots between the disjointed group of stories which appeared in other media reports over this time. According to Debka, the recent upgrading of our Terrorism Warning status, the detainment of suspects and rather clumsy closing of Alligator Alley in Florida, the arrest of the members of a sleeper cell in Buffalo, the quarantine and search of the cargo ship off of New York Harbor, and the return of Dick Cheney's nocturnal engagements at undisclosed locations all stem from threats the US government has received (directly and indirectly) regarding the use of a weapon of mass destruction on an American city, in order to dissuade any preemptive action against Iraq.
