Oh, and, I’m not going to say that there’s NOT a terrorist threat looming, but I just point out once again how the administration releases news of a potential threat at times when they’d like to divert our attention from negative stories about the White House. At least, that’s what’s happened every other time there’s been bad news from the Bush administration. The biggest problem with this phenomenon is that it’s tough to tell if it’s really true. But we have to take it seriously, just in case.
Of course, it could be that the threats are in response to something the White House has done, which would explain the correlation.
I wonder if anyone has ever kept or compiled a list of all the times we’ve been warned of a new but vague terrorist threat, and how it correlates with what was happening with the White House at the time?
I’m wondering how seriously one can take the threat of 20-30 year old English-speaking European-looking men.
