Have Yourself a Bloody Little Christmas ....

Scott Johnson of Power Line quotes an unnamed "well-connected law enforcement source" on what to expect next from ISIS.

IS has aspirations to strike Western targets between now and Christmas: airports, seaports, and large, crowded venues in the Christmas commercial period preferred. The European intelligence people are trying to figure out whether these intentions are aspirational or operational at this point. IS would like to hit the US and/or the UK. The million dollar question is, do they have the capability to do it here on their Christmas timetable?

Seems like a good reason to do your holiday shopping online. It will be prudent to avoid the target-rich crowds at malls and theaters, also at holiday parades and bowl games.
