An increased threat of another al Qaeda attack between now and Sep. 11 of this year has caused Capitol Police officials to step up security on Capitol Hill, Roll Call reported.
An unnamed Capitol Police source told Roll Call that Congressional security officials were recently made aware of the potential threat by federal anti-terrorism authorities.
“Given the world situation and recently released snippet from al-Qaida threatening to attack Washington, we’re just being a tad more vigilant if that’s possible,” Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance Gainer told the Capitol Hill newspaper. “Although, if you’re ready for a four-alarm fire at any time, it’s hard to be more vigilant.”
Gainer, who chairs the Capitol Police Board, said he noticed an increased police presence on the Hill, but he would not disclose to the newspaper any specific threats or dates.
And is this coming from "gut feeling" Chertoff. This is getting ridiculous. A clever terrorist would not use the same date of another attack; he or she would choose a different date and time. Ya think the DHS and White House would think!!!!

Use on an ad needed bases. Look the only time Al Queda is mentioned is when the White House wants to put fear back in the public eye. Bin Ladin is safe and Al Queda is busy else where. The White House was the spying bill passed because it gives Cheney's big business friends information to take over other countries now around the world. The threat is used as an excuse. It's crunch time for the White House as the World leaders have moved on and worked together without the US.
