CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara joins me now. 

 

Barbara, the US has chosen not to raise its terrorist threat level even though the UK raised theirs today. Does this means that there is a difference between the kind of threat the UK faces verses the kind of threat the US does? We know it appears that     it does right now.
