Bush "waging the Dog" and the media ignores it.

[59millionmorons]

Putting out 3 or 4 year old information is nothing more than an attempt to distract us. I have not seen anything about this on the news are the media embarrassed that they were duped again. I want CNN to apologize to Dean.



Mr. Bush spoke on a day when Americans were still digesting the terrifying warning of possible terrorist attacks against financial institutions in New York, Newark and Washington. The authorities in those cities did the right thing by stepping up security. But it's unfortunate that it is necessary to fight suspicions of political timing, suspicions the administration has sown by misleading the public on security. The Times reports today that much of the information that led to the heightened alert is actually three or four years old and that authorities had found no concrete evidence that a terror plot was actually under way. This news does nothing to bolster the confidence Americans need that the administration is not using intelligence for political gain.
