cynical bitch...

"Increased chatter." "Big threat" of "indeterminate nature." "Plans in place." You know what my cynical self says? That they have an idea, anywhere from a glimmering to a pretty shrewd one, of what is being "planned"... and they deliberately aren't revealing what the actual threat is. Generously, because they don't know exactly where/when it will happen; less generously, because they do know, but don't want to spook the populace off their holiday spending any more than nessecary.
