Ridge defends higher terror alert as ‘essential’ even though some of their information pre-dates September 11, 2001. This smacks of politics all around. Why a terror alert now with this old info? Well, the Democrats had their convention last week and Kerry has gained some ground on Bush in the polls as a result. How better to distract the public than with a big bad terror warning. Anyone willing to take odds on what’s going to happen? My bets are on absolutely nothing and then Bush’s spin-meisters saying, “Look. We prevented an attack. Vote for Bush.” This government has cried wolf so many times it’s become ridiculous.
This is one case where I really hope I’m right. If I’m wrong and something really does happen I’ll be surprised. But honestly I don’t believe anything is going to happen. I’d rather not spend my life in fear of what may happen. Taht way the terrorists win. It is what they want.
