thinkprogress.org — The 2008 elections are still a year away, but this morning outgoing Homeland Security Adviser Frances Fragos Townsend told CNN that al Qaeda may target the presidential elections. She said that while there is currently no "specific information," "we know that Al Qaeda views these periods as being a particularly vulnerable period."

Because he's the single most effective recruiting tool the anti-America Muslim crowd has.Why would they get rid of their strongest tool?

That was pretty ignorant of me to think half of diggers can predict the future AND read minds.

Well yanno.. if that whole mall threat is taken seriously by people, and we don't see as many holiday shoppers, that might actually be a good thing. Cause maybe those same scared people will not vote.. then Ron Paul can cruuuuuuuuuuuuise right in, when the true freedom loving Americans are the only one that show up at the polls.I bet ya Rudy shows up to vote with a NY baseball hat and a dusk mask, and secret squad swat team.

This story is such a scare-tactic story. Who reads this stupid bulls**t anymore? Al-Qaeda could be targeting anything thats going to have a lot of people in it at any time. Scared now? Oooooo. All the media does is attempt to spread fear and worry, JUST LIKE AL-QAEDA. Bury this stupid s**t.

what does it take for Americans to do something?nothing drastic, like what the italians did to Mussolini (hang him by the balls in the town square), all I'm asking is for him to be impeached, indicted and imprisoned. Just let the law follow its course.In europe we use the general strike thing as last resort (what the frenchies are doing right now with Messieur Bush-Butt-Kisser le President Sarkozy), can I suggest you guys do the same?Just an idea....
