Bush Lied... Yahoo Group
Tuesday, August 03, 2004
REALLY, THOUGH, YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO THINK IT'S A PRE-ELECTION STUNT: It turns out that the big panic in New York, Washington and Newark is based on intelligence over four years old:
But intelligence officers said much of the information may have been collected before the September 11 attacks. "There is nothing right now that we're hearing that is new," one intelligence officer told the Washington Post. "Why did we go to this level? I still don't know."
We've noticed a rising pitch of mumbling about possible terror attacks as we get nearer and nearer to the elections - there was also, of course, that frankly bizarre Womens Wall Street story about how not-white people are (gasp) flying in groups and sometimes standing in the aisles of planes - and it would be hard to not at least wonder if this isn't all in response to the 9/11 Commission and various other suggestions that maybe Bush is using the Twin Towers as an excuse to cover a lot of abuses.
