The whole "terrorist alert" system is a farce. Can you imagine a scenario where they LOWER the 'color code' for NY, NJ, and DC? I'm picturing Herr Ridge pointing at the chart the next time saying in a slightly British accent: "um, but these go to eleven."

I sincerely would like to believe that when the government issues such a warning that it is a valid cause for concern I would too, but find that I can't with this current administration. The timing on this latest warning doesn't appear necesarily political to me, but that leaves the others which gave rise to my disbelief. These included Ridge with his "no warning warnings" at pivotal political points and Ashcroft when Bush's poll numbers were sagging last May (it wasn't even Ashcroft's job to issue "no warning warnings"). As Presidents go, 43 is certainly not 41. I guess some apples do fall far from the tree.

I agree with the evil one. The latest threats are not bogus in spite of the claims of some of the extreme Femocrats. Speaking of which what is up with John Ferry saying "reporting for duty" all the time. He is a freak. All that the people know about him (and all that he can remember about himself)is that he is an anti-american idiot who served in Vietnam. Kerry, a scary ferry Femocrat. If you want our great American soldiers shunned, stoned to death and turned away all while American flag burning is made a new ritual then vote for the scary John Ferry. Need I say more? Maybe he'll eliminate taxes on Astroglide and butt douches.

I know this has been debated already in another post, but I feel that being alerted to something that doesn't happen is far better than not being alerted to something that does happen. There are always going to be people who cite the "crying wolf" one too many times theory, but I sincerely would like to believe (and I know some people disagree) that when the government issues such a warning that it is a valid cause for concern, and not just a tool of partisan politics. If that is not the case, then it is shameful to prey upon America's fear of another terrorist threat for poliical gain.
