Chris's Rants

Nevermind...

The AP reports U.S. officials say no terror threat linked to disk with school data. As I said in my previous rant, the administration does this every f***ing time. Down in the polls? Issue another BOGUS terror alert.

Let's look at the facts:
- the computer disk that triggered the alert was discovered in JULY, yet they only felt the need to issue the alert NOW... how often have they done that? REPEATEDLY!
- the alert was, once again, issued with the whispered caveat that there was no specific credible evidence that an attack was eminent
- the alert was targetted to schools in 6 states that just happen to be swing states... could they possibly be more transparent in trying to stoke people's fears for political gain?
- now they are claiming that they were only acting out of "an abundance of caution"... Puhleeze!

Of course, now it is confirmed that the plans were publically available via the internet (or is that internets?) and collected by a man who had no connections to al Qaeda or the Iraqi insurgency, he was involved in projects to rebuild the schools in Iraq!

Quick! Lock the kids in the basement! Get the shotgun, Ma! Them terr-ists is after our young-uns! Good ole Dubya, he's lookin' out fer us... gonna smoke them terr-ists outta their caves. Booya!
