Christmas shopping for al Qaeda

ABC News is reporting that al Qaeda may have plans to hit shopping malls in the Chicago and Los Angeles areas over the Christmas shopping season: http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/11/exclusive-fbi-a.html. I am assuming that the government is already aware of this information and is investigating it. I am curious, however, as to why this would not be front page news in the Chicago Tribune or Los Angeles Times. You would figure that this would be something that would interest the readers of those respective newspapers, but what do I know? And, I have little doubt that the ACLU would scream bloody murder if either Chicago or Los Angeles Police stepped up surveillance of areas where Muslims live in either city. It's simply not acceptable to "profile" those who want to kill us, after all...............

UPDATE (9:03 a.m., Saturday): Sure enough, the protesting has begun: http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5gEBi7jBE6u4K4jS7EHGWQiZ5nRSg.
