Transcript from Capital Report and Dean interview last night.
http://www.blogforamerica.com/archives/004915.html#more
SNIP..."I think all those other warnings were relatively useless. It doesn't do any good to say the sky's falling and not tell somewhat what part of the sky is falling and where you might want to watch out.

However, here's the dilemma that the administration's now gotten themselves into. The information is that these buildings are targets; probably the targets were also the World Trade Center and otherwise. Now we've instituted security measures, which I think is a good thing. How--when do we take those security measures off? If these plans have been in place for three years, and if the administration contends, as I agree with this, that al-Qaida's very patient and this is a real danger, you can't take the security measures away from these buildings for the foreseeable future...

MURRAY: Well, I think that's...

Dr. DEAN: ...not until al-Qaida is destroyed and until Osama bin Laden is destroyed. So we are now--have these security measures in place for the foreseeable future. And there will be other building that have been cased, there will be more evidence like this coming to go light. I don't dispute that terrorism is a serious problem for the United States and that it's a good thing to put these safety measures in place. I do dispute the timing. I do dispute the relevance of this particular information at this time, given that Washington, DC, senior law enforcement people saying they don't believe there's anything new in these disclosures."

1. More from the transcript.
Several asked me to post this, and it dropped really quickly.

SNIP.."Dr. DEAN: I think the president's doing a miserable job with the war on terror. He's gotten us bogged down in Iraq when we should be chasing and capturing Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and Afghanistan. There was a long series of terrorism announcements, which have been of no effect to the United States at all, including, red, yellow, orange, red, yellow, which means nothing to the American people.

MURRAY: But, Governor Dean...

Dr. DEAN: I'd like to get, Alan, a real president in there who understands terrorism...

MURRAY: Governor Dean...

Dr. DEAN: ...and who's willing to set their priorities in fighting terrorism the right way."

3. If others do not step up and say something, we will lose on this issue.
I see some changes in rhetoric, but this is going to continue if others don't speak up. I am so sick of the terror terror terror. It just makes me sick inside.
