Terrorists may target L.A., Chicago malls
The latest uncorroborated, non-imminent, possibly unreliable, probably-a-load-of-crap-but-they-gotta-cover-their-asses-and-warn-us terrorist threat is a possible al Qaeda plot against shopping malls in L.A. and Chicago during the holiday season. Err, Christmas season. (Because if we call it the "holiday season," the terrorists have already won. Right, Bill O'Reilly?)
Glenn Reynolds suspects a conspiracy by Amazon.com stock-pumpers who want Americans to cower fearfully at home... and shop online. Heh.
It's okay to stop being afraid about the terrorist attack that was highly likely, but not substantiated, last summer (because terrorists like the summer), right? Thank goodness this new non-report came out, I was almost about to relax.

Now THAT'S a war on Christmas. 80-year-old Wallmart greeter who says "Happy Holidays" eat your heart out.

If I see some Arab dude (or dudette) acting strangely in the mall, that dude (or dudette) is going down!!!
TEAM AMERICA!!!

I wonder why the continued Al Qaeda threats on our Office Supply stores doesn't get more press? We can't let them get their hands on our Post-It Notes!
