17. Which was never the point
Doesn't matter whether Dean was right or wrong. If he'd just waited 24 hours, he could have been citing the new reports that these alerts are based on years old information. He would have been CREDIBLE. Now he's not.

On the other hand, it gave Kerry the opportunity to distance himself from the "fringe left" and at the same time make the statement that playing politics with terror alerts would be "monstrous". So as this unfolds, Kerry comes off looking reasoned with a justifiable degree of righteous indignation at Bush's politicizing national security.

And if Dean did it all intentionally, then my hat's off to him.
