18. Al Qaida is a real threat
Edited on Fri Aug-25-06 02:10 PM by Ignacio Upton
But in many of the cases where Bush and/or DHS have given terror alerts or reports of busted terror plots, there has been nothing but bullshit. The Miami plot back in June is one example, Another is how they selectively chose the date to release information on the London plot to when it could be used against the Democrats (ie. against Lamont's win.) Several of the terror alerts under Ridge's tenure were also dubious, and Ridge himself even hinted this much:

Keith Olbermann also had a good piece on this last October:
