Don't worry. The DumRats are telling us there's nothing to worry about.

Yep. An "expert" consulted by the NY Times says its political:

In Zeal to Foil Terror Plots, Cases May Be Missing Something Important, Lawyers Say
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/09/us/09plot.html

"Carl W. Tobias, a law professor at University of Richmond in Virginia who tracks terrorism cases, said the modest evidence disclosed so far in some recent cases related to the ability of the suspects to deliver on their threats had caused him to wonder if politics might be a factor.

" 'There is some kind of public relations gained by making Americans on the one hand feel concerned that the Sears Tower in Chicago or some tunnel in Manhattan is targeted, yet on the other hand feel comforted that the government is on top of it,' he said."

That's what passes for thinking from the "cut and run" crowd. Thank you for the quote, it pretty well sums up the stupidity and arrogance of the RATs. It's this kind of thinking that will sink them in November.

{hand picked biased opinionators}.. are questioning whether the government is forgetting an element central to any case: the actual intent to commit a crime.

I dunno, actually planning of and 1st perp testimony of intent might actually constitute intent.
