Chuck Schumer was on Fox and Friends this morning. They asked him if he thought the raising of the terror alert was a political move by Bush. His answer was NO! He said it is a real threat.

The sheeple will only remember the idiotic sounds bites, it's old info and a political move by Bush.

Update on the detained cargo ship off the coast of Newark:
It appears to be a simple case of rotten lemons.

Shipload of rotten lemons to be fumigated, destroyed

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard said a shipload of contaminated lemons would be fumigated and destroyed after a container ship carrying them was intercepted before reaching port.

The ship CSAV Rio out of Argentina had been held offshore since Saturday after the Coast Guard received an anonymous report that contaminated lemons were on board. The Coast Guard escorted the vessel to Port Newark on Friday.

The initial report alleged that containers on board the ship contained an unknown "harmful biological substance."

A 20-person Coast Guard team boarded the vessel Saturday and conducted screening tests for biological hazards. None were found.

The containers were to be scanned, fumigated with chlorine dioxide gas, and taken to an incinerator, where both the fruit and the containers were to be destroyed.
