CNN reports that the amount of "chatter" from suspected terrorists has gone down recently.
Diminished communication prompted the concern because the counterterror experts don't know why suspected terrorists would be talking less. But they noted that similar reductions have happened several other times during the past few years.

Could it be they haven't payed their phone bills?
or,
Could it be that they are communicating differently because of the election year over-the-top pronouncements of Tom Ridge?
Feeling safe? Threatened? Let's chat.
