The alert, and the intelligence that prompted it, puts the Bush administration in a bind. If the administration had such specific warnings of possible attack and failed to share them, it would be fairly accused of withholding vital information from the public. But the mere revelation of the new threat also serves to underscore the administration's contention that it has yet to finish the job against Al Qaeda and its ilk.

Sounds like Dee Dee Myers' husband from the Slimes is trying to find a way to blame the terror alert on President Bush. Typical.

""We're not going to let threats or this kind of information turn us into Fortress America," Tom Ridge, the homeland security secretary, said on Sunday"

Uhhh...what's wrong with Fortress America?

What a totally stupid article! All they are trying to do is plant doubts in the minds of Americans. And did they ever consider the fact that other terror warnings resulted in foiled attempts? Gosh, this stuff makes me sick! Vote BUSH!!!

"If there's a plane on the way, or a bomb outside, I'm not going to go into it," Thomas Schwartz, 20, in Washington for a job interview, said as he walked by the White House, just blocks from the World Bank, where police cars with flashing lights stood like silent sentinels. "But I'm not going to be changing my lifestyle or sweating bullets for terrorists. That's what they want."

Yes you are.

"For all its frightening precision - a possible truck or car bomb at the New York Stock Exchange or Citigroup in Manhattan, the headquarters of Prudential Financial in Newark and the International Monetary Fund and World Bank here - the warning means one thing for the thousands of people who work in those buildings or live near them, quite another for the millions more who live in the same region, and still another for the rest of the nation.

And still another for the parents of a daughter who has to go through the Newark Penn station to Penn station and then take the subway to beneath the CitiCorp building and then work all day across the street from the CitiCorp building. This is so scary to me. She survives the WTC and then is in the middle of the warnings in NY again.
