"Boortz thinks Dean's allegation has merit, since the reports that the alerts were based on 'old data.' "

Boortz is wrong. Need I remind you that back in 1996 the Clinton administration had unspecific information on an al Qaeda plot to hijack airliners and fly them into buildings?

Did that 'years old' information turn out to be a false alarm?

Dean and the rest of the Dems are politicizing this, just as they did within hours of the 9/11 attacks : "What did Bush know and when did he know it?"

This threat is considered credible and has been confirmed by British intelligence sources.

But can somebody explain hos this years-old specific info -- stuff like pedestrian traffic flows, vehicle traffic flows and escape routes would be relevant now when all of that has changed, some of it in response to 9/11? Seems as if it would be next to useless at this point.
