Weather you like what ridge does or not or even pay attention to the alert level why would you bash something thats put there to try and help people be aware of dangerous situations

Because telling us this will not alter how we live our lives. It's purely cover your ass procedure. In case something happens they can say told you so.

If they do indeed know something it would be wise to see where the politicians in Washington are currently hanging out.

One or two days before 9/11, according to many sources, all scheduled plane trips by politicians were cancelled. Personally I'd love to know if that is true.

Howard Dean, is that you?

all scheduled plane trips were cancelled? for god's sake, Barbara Olson was killed on one of the 9/11 planes, don't you think her husband would have told her about it?

[Lucy Lake]

Well, we do know Hillary canceled her plans for the day, and Bubba was out of the country. Seems Gore was missing, but maybe I'm wrong on that.

Total BS. About what I'd expect from the 'cheap shot at Ridge/Ashcroft/Bush is a commie' crowd.

With any memory from 9/11 you would know it wasn't true and not try to spew that lie on FR. When the planes were grounded, don't you remember the stories of how politicians were stranded in various locations where their flights landed, unscheduled, and they had so much trouble getting to their destinations. Gosh, some dolts have fallen under the deaniac spell of rumor-mongering ... kind of like 'shooting off their mouths for effect' but certainly not for truth or integrity.
