Reports That Led to Terror Alert Were Years Old, Officials Say

[CarneVaca]

If this kind of thing didn't have so much potential for cry-wolf danger, it would be funny. It really ain't that funny when your train ride goes from 60 minutes to 90 because these morons are playing political games.

Government and politics in this country have hit a new low.

Intelligence officers told the New York Times and the Washington Post there was "no concrete evidence" of a terrorist plot or proof that terror surveillance operations were still being carried out. "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," the intelligence officer said.

First Lady Laura Bush along with her twin daughters Barbara and Jenna, appeared Monday afternoon at Citigroup Center, one of the targeted buildings, at a staged event at the 59-story tower to demonstrate the First Family's lack of fear in the wake of the latest terror attack warnings from the White House. The First Family event event sent mixed signals as to the level of seriousness of the terror alert with the President's immediate family at the epicenter of the alleged terror target.

I saw that Laura, Jenna and Barbara were at Citigroup on the news last night. It sure seemed to me, then, that was a rather "phony" terror alert. It's all just strange. My first thought on Sunday was that it was all staged to help Dubya in his re-election bid. Ugh.

That right there tells you nothing was going to happen. As soon as I saw her drinking coffee with the Wall Streeters yesterday I knew this was a bunch of crap.
I am just wondering if this is some kind of drill for the RNC.

A drill for the RNC. I love it!

Why am I not surprised??? Sheesh. These Republithugs will put the fear of God in the people of America-- whatever they have to do to stay in power.

I hope more people see this article. You're preaching to the choir here, but this story needs to be on every national news channel (except Faux news, of course, because they are soooo "fair and balanced") so everyone will know that this raising of the terror alert was a HOAX to get the Johns off the front pages... it's an absolute disgrace

Have you seen Outfoxed yet? That is one entertaining and well-made documentary about Faux News, Merfy.

In my opinion, another Chicken Little: The sky is falling!! Do it enough and no one will believe when the real thing happens...
