1. Assholes

and nobody would think to bomb London and NYC on the same day...

[K-W]

3. I'm sure they would think to.

That doesnt neccessarily mean they attempted to.

[Spinzonner]

No need - no reelection pending

[Voltaire99]

15. Heh. Pithily put! (nt)

[KeepItReal]

2. Common sense is in short supply with Bush & Co if that report is true

[Bluebear]

4. No elections pending.

[dArKeR]

13. Election of Supreme Court Justice

[DoYouEverWonder]

5. Of course not

they only raise the terror alert when it gives them a political advantage and when it's based on three year old, bogus Intel.

[fujiyama]

6. No plans to raise it

because there is no election coming up.

They raised these off and on during the campaign.

[Demeter]

7. Bush Isn't Here, So No Worries, Mate

or as Alfred E. Neuman would say, "What, me worry?"

[The2ndWheel]

8. But I'm sure they're very busy writing

up new legislation to crack down on more rights.

[sattahipdeep]

9. Heres a thought

10. My upper West Side daughter walking to work in mid-town

today and avoiding NYC subways and busses, and is really pissed that the esteemed Dept. of Homeland Security, which raised security during the election on years old data, is not raising security now.

[leesa]

11. Of course not! Why use an election tool in response to terrorism?

[Cobalt Violet]

12. Well ya, we're a bit far away from an election.

[AldebTX]

14. Was the Terror level raised after Madrid?

The slightest whisper could cause the terror level to be raised last year, but that was election season.

A major international city is bombed and nothing is done to the threat level.

Was the threat level raised after the Madrid bombing?

I heard one report on ABC News Radio say that New York was already at an orange level alert so no raising of the terror alert level was needed. Aren't there subways in Washington, D.C., Boston, etc????

[HuckleB]

16. ?Huh?
