I want to jump in on this one, for like the first time really.
When I hear members of the GOP saying that we are safer now then we were in the past because of Bush's leadership in National Security I have to laugh. Seems like a lot of people are forgetting the span of time between the first WTC attack and the one on 9/11. Bin Laden and his boys just dont work that quickly. They take years to plan out their attacks to insure the highest probability of success. I don't believe we have avoid/averted any new attacks at all. It's lip service to try and make Bush's descisions look legit. I highly suspect that we are going to get more alerts the closer we get to election and the day before aught to be interesting.
"Very real and creditable threats concerning election day." Yeah, keep everyone afraid and you'll get another 4 years georgie.

Actually. My family have a good friend that I have known for 10+ years that is now working for the Secret Service. He has told us that there have been numerous major incidents that have been averted since 9/11 and they are not published for fear of creating panic and economic disasters.
You can believe your "evil GOP"conspiracy theories all you want, but I beleive this person....he has always been the most non-political straight-shooting guy I've ever known.
