Just saw CNN somberly reporting on terror tip.

[blm]

Yes, a part of me is fearful that it is an Al Qaeda action, but the greater part of me believes that this is the scenario planned all along for a major terror plot to be intercepted or avoided thanks to Ashcroft and Bush, the two most incompetent governing officials on terror and its resullting 9-11 tragedy.

Sorry, but that's what their actions FORCE me to believe. Disgusting that we can't trust a word that emanates from this administration.

The problem with constant lying is that when something is legitimate, how are people expected to discern and act accordingly? THAT is why these goons are NOT good for our safety as a nation.

1. bingo! way too much "wag the dog" from these guys to know

what to believe

[sandnsea]

3. They shook that dog to death

They're just wagging an old nasty tail now.

When the CIA or FBI knows something for real, I think we'll see something quite different because the underlings will step up to the plate at that point.

4. Now they are trying to knock Therese

Should a First Lady be outspoken? What a buch of crap. Our First Lady should have the guts to speak her mind period. Shove it you go girl Love it

[blm]

7. Plus knowing what the thugs are capable of perpetrating against their own

country and its citizens to maintain power for themselves. They've proven that decade after decade.

I'm pissed as hell, because HOW are we supposed to know what's a real terror threat anymore when you are fully aware that liars are in control of the information?

[BeatleBoot]

2. What's going on?

[blm]

5. Heightened alert on NYC financial institutions.

Credible threat according to CNN.

[BeatleBoot]

6. Just In Time for the Sunday News Cycle

It dampens the Kerry-Edwards/Dem Convention talk tomorrow.

[Sparkly]

8. Have they (media) asked why the color-code hasn't changed?

:shrug:

[Sparkly]

10. "Just increased investigative activity"

said a former FBI agent on CNN just now...

Then why did they make it public at all?!!!?

[PA Democrat]

9. Wasn't there a "credible threat" against the media

reporting from the Democratic Convention? Weren't those media trucks identified as a target?

I am sick of the constant warnings. No wonder Bush was full of the "terra, terra" talk today at his speech in Pittsburgh.

Must distract people's attention away from Kerry.

[Sparkly]

11. Exactly -- if there's no info for the public to do anything with

there's no reason to keep putting the scares out there.

[Bluebear]

12. A fake threat evidently

BOSTON—It looks like the FBI's Boston field office faked a threat of domestic terrorism just before the start of the Democratic National Convention by leaking "unconfirmed" reports of white supremacist groups readying an attack against media vehicles in Boston. Fox News, for one, reportedly was wildly trying to disguise its trucks by covering up its logos.

The effect of this probably was to make the press even more suspicious of anti-war demonstrators than it already is—to even view them as possible terrorists, and if not actual terrorists, then a crowd within which terrorists could operate.

All of this is taking place in an atmosphere of fear and tension whipped up by the Bush administration, with its reports of Al Qaeda "sleeping cells" preparing to strike against America in the midst of the presidential campaign.

13. Now just call me a silly old woman, BUT

I've been told by this same administration that our god-chosen (didn't know that's what we now call the Supreme Court) golden leader was not responsible for all his stinking moron decisions because our CIA and FBI couldn't find a ten ton elephant in a phone booth. So, why would I believe these inept morons now?? Or is it that they are a-okay and Bush really lied to us. Take your pick, Bush---which is it-- cause you can't have it both ways.

[Shopaholic]

14. Anything to take the attention off of

Kerry/Edwards who are kicking ass out on the campaign trail and drawing huge crowds.

[Art_from_Ark]

15. Meanwhile, to see Cheney at an event

you have to Pledge Your Allegiance to him.

[NightOwwl]

16. CNN has replaced Fox

as the new Bush media whore. I switched between the two channels today and Fox looked left-wing compared to CNN. BTW, Fox did not report on the "new" terror threat.
