People thought Howard Dean and I were crazy when we said the latest terror alert was all bogus political theater.
"But the information is so specific!" people said, as if the Bush administration could not possibly just make stuff up.
Well, turns out that Howard Dean and I were right: the information that "inspired" the terror alert, all those scary plans and blueprints and what-not, were years old. That's right -- not weeks or months, as I suspected, but years.
The Washington Post and Drudge have more.
These people are desperate and they have no shame. The worst part of it is that, if and when they really do get "actionable" intelligence and issue a real terror alert, nobody will believe them. Nobody believes them already.
These people have made us less safe. Does anybody realize that?
Update: Bob Harris, over at This Modern World, does:
"Bush does not deserve one more minute in the White House. He deserves scorn. Shame. Contempt. And with any luck, impending unemployment."
Amen.
