If a credible threat is what they want, going after the Enquirer is not a smart selection. That paper has carried so many sensationalist stories that people buy it for escapist reading. The truth wouldn't have a hope in hell of being recognized in there. The Weekly World News, with its continuing exclusive photos of the alien who enjoys keeping company with American political figures, would be a much better choice. ;)
