Okay, This July 19th story was about the prediction of a July-Surprise:

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0708-11.htm

Well, the July-Surprise was announced on the 29th of July. The same night Kerry was speaking at the DNC. How convenient!

CNN ran the story on their website on the 29th. I saw it! However, if you look at the date, you will see they changed it to the 30th!

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiapcf/07/29/pakistan.alqaeda.capture/

Do a search on CNN's site (top of their page) and put in "Pakistan captures high-level al Qaeda"

You will see The story was posted on Jul 29, 2004! Was the date changed, or did the story run twice?

Here's what i think...The July-Surprise didn't make a dent in the DNC, so it was posted again the next day. It still didn't get much attention from the American public on Friday.

So, Thursday, and Friday went by and people didn't notice, or didn't care about the story. Sunday morning they announce a new terror alert! They said the new terror intelligence was gained from the Pakistan capture.

IMO this is totally political! They keep trying to get us to notice the Pakistani capture. It didn't work by just telling the American public, so they are now going to scare us into knowing!

I HATE THESE PEOPLE!

2. They paid the Pakistani a lot of money for this capture

Just trying to get their money's worth.

I did notice the July 29th posting but didn't notice their attempt to rewarm it on the 30th. An all fear all the time campaign.

4. An all fear campaign is right! He can't run on his recored!

I hate to see what october will bring!

6. Yeah, and, if ppl. really are beginning to stop paying attention,

I wonder how bad of a thing it will take in October?

5. TNR's Pakistani sources were right

and Pakistan came through with a HVT during the DNC. However, it wasn't high-valued enough. Now they'll have to come through again days before the election.

7. Nobody will trust Pak intelligence after this story hits:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3532360.stm

"Sheikh Rashid Ahmed denied that plans for fresh attacks on the US and UK were found on the suspects' computers."

Bascially, the current terra lert is BULLSHIT!

8. Thanks for posting that!

Let's see now if the story will run in the US. My guess is no!
