• THE ELECTION AND THE TERRORISTS

  The latest flap seems to be the heightened alert the NY financial institutions were put on Monday. By Tuesday (after a day of roadblocks ,delays, and frustration) it was revealed that most of the info used to institute the alert was two or three years old. When accused of playing politics with terror, Bush became very annoyed and defensive as did Tom Ridge (head terrormeister). they were insulted that anyone would think they would use 9/11, terrorists, security threats, etc. for political purposes. I have news for you: EVERYTHING those people do is political and rather carefully planned, even though sometimes it seems the left and right hands aren't on the same page.
  An example of this occured yesterday: While Homeland Security was insisting that the threats to symbolic sites like the Stock Exchange were real, they re-opened the Statue of Liberty to visitors for the first time since 9/11.
