When in Panic or In Doubt

Run in Circles, Scream and Shout!

White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters that U.S. anti-terrorism efforts had decimated al Qaeda's global leadership as the United States maintained a heightened security alert in Yemen and urged all Americans to leave immediately.

The State Department said in a travel warning that it had ordered the evacuation of non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Yemen "due to the continued potential for terrorist attacks" and said U.S. citizens in Yemen should leave immediately because of an "extremely high" security threat level.  The British government also evacuated all staff from its embassy in Yemen Tuesday due to increased security concerns.

So which is it?

Decimated? Or about to kill us all?
