White House: No evidence terror attack is imminent

[Nambe]

Associated Press

The Bush administration has discovered no evidence of imminent plans by terrorists to attack U.S. financial buildings, nearly two weeks after the government issued startling warnings about such possible threats, a White House official said Thursday.

Some documents and computer files seized in Al-Qaida raids showing surveillance of U.S. financial buildings had been accessed for unknown purposes this spring, months later than authorities had previously disclosed, the official said.

Officials had said earlier that some files had been reviewed as recently as January.

The seized records included surveillance reports of financial buildings in New York, Washington and Newark, N.J., during 2000 and 2001, which prompted warnings Aug. 1 from the White House about possible threats to those buildings.

But nothing in the documents has suggested any attack was planned soon, the officials said. ...

I actually think this may be good... they may be desperate.

Make up your mind people!

Don't these folks communicate within the WH?

Geez, get the party line straight will ya? How else can you use this crap to your advantage?

4. Ahh, so they've confirmed it, in effect...

It really WAS just a sham to take away attention from Kerry's acceptance speech!x(

Michael Moore's theory--and Congressman Jim McDermott's--is proving true more and more every day; first they "scare" us, then they try to reassure us--doing their level best to confuse our emotions, and our responses to them.

On thing they'll find it DOESN'T confuse, however: people are getting sick and tired of this crap, and they're going to take it out on Dub & Co. in about 80 days!:D

Anyone can take a 'virtual tour' on Encarta or if they fancy a detailed 3-D experience they can get a plug-in and peruse any number of 'targets'...

Gotta love FEAR©

13. GRRR!!! Make up their fucking minds already!!!

First it is, then it's not. I heard one (Republican) Senator the other day who, of course, couldn't comment on the details of the briefing he'd received telling me the threat were credible and serious...new information...blah blah blah. *maddening!!*

22. More White house CYA - If there is an attack - "WE told you so." If

there is no attack - "We told you so." Is this a great country or what?

24. Just throw another lie on the pile. I'm sure our investigative reporters

won't notice.
