That pesky Howard Dean. He keeps saying we aren't safer with Saddam around anymore even though Lord Bush (cleaning up after his daddy's mess) removed the dictator's finger from the Iraqi WMD red button (i think it was a pistol)that was located in that high-tech bunker (spider hole) we found him in. But we are safer!! President Bush (by SCOTUS), electable John Kerry (MA polling data anyone?), and democrat Joe Liberman (I guess at least he isn't Zell Miller), and a few others all tell me we are!
Hmmm so why raise the threat level to Orange? Orange doesn't mean safer does it?
Maybe the color matrix it is tracking risk of not winning reelection now instead of terror. Yellow equals "got this 2004 thing in the bag if people stay sorta afraid" ... orange means "Damn - I might lose this thing. Seems the Democrats aren't going for Bush Light anymore" Only lord knows what RED MEANS ... I suspect though it throws up the Kathryn Harris Light (ala Batman) to come save the day.
... sorry I'm especially snarky today. link to cnn on threat alert
