Fear Factor

Soooo, just after the completion of the Democratic Convention when the polls are showing a boost to Kerry Edwards and the news channels are talking about the Democrats, suddenly we get a raising of the Terror Alert System, and, surprise of surprises it seems that it may be based on information from pre-9/11.

What, you mean that the administration might be using be using what is essentially a worthless alert system to get people talking about the terrorists and listening to W again, do you? They wouldn't do that, would they?

Seriously though, if they're basing this on something that they happened to find on a computer in a terrorist hideout, I hope they realize that most people leave quite a bit of old information on their computer nowdays, what with the big-ass hard drives we now have.

I especially like the little jab at the internet in the article, how the terrorists found some of this information through public internet sites (damn that internet, we need to clamp down on it).
