Graph of terror alerts and effect on Bush ratings. Most interesting.

Looks like they are having less effect, and that is good. However it is worrisome that they do not work as well, as it makes one wonder what might be next.

1. I forwarded this graph to my brother, a journalist....

And I sent him this message with it:

Hey Chris, check this out! Notice that to win the election, Bush has to pull some propaganda stunt with more impact than the capture of Saddam Hussein. Getting Osama or somebody who looks like Osama might not work now that Fahrenheit 9/11 clued people into the fact that the Bush and Bin Ladin families have been close buisness partners for decades. Even another war as popular as Iraq WAS would barely do it....:think:

2. They're also getting more frequent

Which is probably a sign that its time to locate and defuse a bio bomb in a Long Beach container or something like that...

4. Sign of more desperation.

It really does bother me.

5. What does "terror alert" mean in this context?

It doesn't appear to mean simply moving from yellow to orange.

6. Here are a couple of links to help figure it out more.

I am not sure myself.

This Guardian article has good dates on the alerts.

Also an excellent research thread by Eloriel from the last two days.

And from The American Prospect a good article:
