Berlin: Heightened terror alerts and high-profile arrests of suspected Islamic extremists have international security experts and officials concerned that the Bush adm. actions could jeopardize investigations into the Al Qaeda network.

European terrorism analysts acknowledge that the US and its allies are under threat by Al Qaeda, but some suggest that the White House is unnecessarily adding to public anxiety with vague and dated intelligence about possible attacks. Sone in Western Europe suspect the administration is using fear to improve its chances in the November election.

Terrorism experts say too much publicity about possible plots and raids of islamic extremist networks, including the arrest of 13 suspects in Britain last week, could hurt wider investigations.

3. Everything is Politics

And that puts our country into so much danger. There are just times when politics can't be important.

Bush needed support for the last wierd terror alert - people were questioning it - so he moved to protect himself - and put who knows how many more people in danger - both here and in Europe.

I wish we could have the election sooner. I am getting so tired of all of this.
