[Non-Sequitur]

The United States must operate under the assumption that al Qaeda terrorists are already in the country, waiting to strike when they believe they can achieve success, Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge said today in New York City.

Is that based on three year old information, too?

[QQQQQ]

SOME of the info may be 2-3 years old, but there have been new updates. It is also coming from many different sources and there is a lot of chatter.

Those who try to focus on the fact that SOME of the info was collected 2-3 years ago, are trying to discredit the Bush administration.

Whether you agree with them or not, they are NOT clowns, like Kerry and Edwards.

They are not raising the terror alert because they found someone's old notebooks.
