“I’m a little mystified,”

Why, Ridge is an idiot.

...uh, Tom, now just who is it that is peddaling political influence and sensationalizing it?

If your story is true...then the fact that you did not report it or make a statement about it then, when it was happening, says more about you than what you are trying to say about Bush.

That you say it only now, to try and push book sales, is indicative of who it is that is really pushing the influence and coloring the truth.

I am not surprised.

What the hell is wrong with these people?
GW Bush is a gracious man and nearly everyone he was loyal to has attempted to stabbed him in the back.

I'm not surprised at all the POS baby killer wouldn’t get anyone to publish his crappy book unless he made some anti Bush statement.

"Never trust a RINO."

That doesn't leave many to trust.

Tom (RINO) Ridge

ridge is pro murder of the unborn and a flaming liberal in rino skin. They are all the same... it is about them and their power, influence and wealth... not anyone or anything else.

There is no “typical” first print run. First printings can range from as few as 5000 copies to 500000 and beyond. Ridge won’t sell 5,000 unless he has a whole lot of relatives.

Wasn’t he the FBI agent that tried to warn people about a coming terror attack from Al Quada before 9/11?

Ridge says no plan to raise terror threat level

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- US Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Saturday there was no plan to raise the national terror threat level in response to the broadcast of a videotape of Osama bin Laden.

    Ridge said there had been no specific information indicating possible terrorist attacks, and state and local officials have already stepped up security measures as planned to safeguard the election.

    "We don't have to go to orange to take action in response either to these tapes or just general action to improve security around the country," he said.

    Ridge said the Homeland Security Department and the FBI issued a bulletin to local and state officials late Friday, but had no plan at the moment to raise the threat level at the federal level.

    But Ridge stressed that his department reserve the right to raise the alert level. American intelligence agencies were still analyzing the videotape, which was broadcast on Al Jazeera on Friday, to determine whether bin Laden's speech contained hidden messages or clues about a possible future attack against the United States.

Paul O’Neil was the idiot in charge of Treasury.

In naming no one, he names everyone. What a gutless putz.

I’m so glad W did not name him VP in 2000.

What’s the proper term for this kind of tale-telling person, “rat fink”?

To believe this accusation, you’d have to believe John Ashcroft and Robert Mueller, George Bush and Cheney, were dishonorable men. I know the lefties believe that but I do not.

From this article in 2004- the adminstration was aware of the political nature of raising the terror alert level, and bent over backwards to avoid it.
