Terror alerts for political purposes?

No!

Yes. Hard to believe as it is.

A terrorism warning issued by Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge came six weeks after a similar alert from FBI Director Mueller and Attorney General Ashcroft. The Los Angeles Times reports that "An FBI counterterrorism official said the bureau has not received any substantive new intelligence about an attack since then."

CNN reports that U.S. Senators briefed by heads of the CIA and FBI, were told "the current terror threat against the United States is at its highest level since the attacks of September 11, 2001."

Ridge's announcement coincided with a tour of the Homeland Security Operations Center by Vice President Cheney.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
