[0:00] urging them to keep law enforcement on

[0:02] high alert at least through the Muslim

[0:04] holy month of Ramadan, which ends

[0:06] mid-December. Ridge said this new

[0:08] warning was in response to communication

[0:10] among suspected terrorists that was

[0:12] intercepted, but that the communication

[0:14] didn't specify where or when the

[0:16] terrorists might strike.

[0:18] The information we have does not point

[0:21] to any specific target either in America

[0:23] or abroad.

[0:25] And it does not outline any specific

[0:27] type of attack.

[0:28] However, the analysts who review this

[0:30] information believe the quantity and

[0:33] level of threats are above the norm.

[0:36] But Ridge tonight also delivering a

[0:38] mixed message saying to Americans the

[0:41] alert, "is not a signal to stop your

[0:44] life, just to stay on guard." Tom.

[0:46] And Campbell, there are some

[0:47] reorganization plans I gather underway

[0:49] over at the FBI. That's right, Tom. FBI

[0:52] Director Mueller today announced a major

[0:54] reorganization at the Bureau in response

[0:57] so that it is more able to deal with

[0:59] issues like counterterrorism, but this

[1:00] is also in response to a number of

[1:03] blunders over the last year that have

[1:04] gotten a lot of attention. The two

[1:06] biggest being the misplacement of

[1:07] documents related to Oklahoma City

[1:09] bomber Timothy McVeigh, and also the

[1:12] discovery of a Russian spy in their

[1:13] ranks. All right, thanks very much.

[1:15] NBC's Campbell Brown at the White House

[1:17] tonight. Now, let's go to Afghanistan

[1:19] where there are 1,200 Marines on the

[1:21] ground outside of Kandahar ready for

[1:24] action, but still coping with all kinds

[1:27] of adversity.
