Even that stooge from DHS, Tom Ridge, admitted after leaving that terrorist alerts had been trumped up to fit the Bush/Rove needs for throwing a monkey wrench into a problematic news cycle.
In other words, all those terrorist alerts that seemed to come exactly whenever the administration was trying to sell fear or distract attention from a negative news story? Yeah, largely *****. Probably a story there, but half the time it was either a) old news, and wasn't newsworthy when it happened or b) somewhere between exaggerated and premature.
Who knows how many real terrorist investigations and real campaigns against Al Qaeda these fools have sacrificed in the name of P.R.
