U.S. counterterror officials are warning of an increased risk of an attack this summer

Here we go again. Well, they must have a good reason to issue such a warning. I wonder what insights Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has:

[He] told the editorial board of The Chicago Tribune that he had a ''gut feeling'' about a new period of increased risk.

Oh.

...'Summertime seems to be appealing to them,'' Chertoff said...

Me too, but that doesn't mean I'm going to bomb someone. Maybe he misunderstood. Maybe he heard that they were going to have a pleasant summer night out on the town and "get bombed". But DHS must have heard something in particular that made them go so far as to make such ominous statements.

''The threat coming out of there is very real, even if there aren't a lot of specifics attached to it,'' one of the officials said.

Oy. I'm gonna go out and get bombed now.
