Wag the Dog?
Pre-9/11 Acts Led To Alerts
Since I was all of Clinton when he launched a missile strike against Afghanistan in the midst of Monica-gate, I think it's only fair to raise my eyebrows at this. As a result of the orange alert, many streets in DC are now 'closed indefinitely' and everything is such a hassle. (Yes, dying would be a hassle too). But it really does pique my curiosity that the alert comes on the heels of the opposition parties convention and now seems to be based on years old intelligence. And we know how reliable our intelligence is, don't we? Or maybe this is just what the terrorists want us to think.
