I get that feeling, and, on a related note, this was an on-going investigation, so printing this has killed the leads to the other people involved, who might be dangerous. Whatever chatroom these guys were using is no longer a source for information thanks to this reporting.

This is the 2006 equivalent of the color-coded terror alert level. People caught on about that, so they had to find something else. We should create a new scale, a Bush Poll Number Alert, that runs from dark gray to black. For every point drop in Bush’s JAR, we go to the next darker bar, and the FBI announces another “terrorist plot” foiled. I’m not saying there is no genuine threat of terrorism, but I am saying the Bushies wouldn’t recognize it even if it bit ’em on the poll.

I’m getting a feeling from some of the statements from the FBI that the leak came out of the White House and the FBI was well aware that it was bogus.

Having this reported in the Daily News is a bit odd, as if none of the bigger papers would carry it.

Certainly not before the November midterms. They’re going to need all the winger votes they can get. And I can’t help but think that trumpeting the “foiling” of this alleged “terrorist plot” right now had a heck of a lot more to do with the parlous state of the preznit’s approval ratings than with any actual threat to New York City.

Next thing you know, you need scale certificates to talk about fishing. When are they going to arrest the winger hate crew?

These guys didn’t even get to the stage of practicing with paintball.

The FBI is going straight from suspicion to arrest without all that expensive ‘investigation’ stuff in between.
