Al Qaeda can be expected to attempt an attack on the United States in the next three to six months, senior U.S. intelligence officials told Congress Tuesday.
The terrorist organization is deploying operatives to the United States to carry out new attacks from inside the country, including "clean" recruits with a negligible trail of terrorist contacts, CIA Director Leon Panetta said. Al Qaeda is also inspiring homegrown extremists to trigger violence on their own, Panetta added.

Talk about a double standard. When the previous administration issued these kinds of projections, it was criticized for fear mongering. Now it is evidence that the current administration is 'doing its job.'
Also, what the heck does "expected to attempt" mean? IMO, this is the kind of CYA vagueness that has helped the public loose focus on GWOT.
