Of Terror Threat and Warning

I think the question most Americans ask is how reliable and true they are. NYTimes (reg req'd) article about How Severe is the Threat reports that some people wonder whether Bush administration was trying to manipulate the terrorist threat for political advantage. Probably because there was no evidence of it .

I thought about thesame thing too that maybe it is being used as politcal ripple effect of 9/11 but in hindsight, they, meaning Bush and Homeland Security, were right in issuing precautions and alerts even if it's based on some old information of plannedterror activities

The fact of the matter, people complained (after 9/11 had happened) that the Government and it's agencies--FBI,CIA- didn't do enough in advising and warning people about terrorists might've who had infiltrated the US. And so now in the post 9/11 where every minute detail and news and information as to the movements, words of any possible terror suspect is taken as threat, and as a result a a heightened security alert is issued, should not be taken as something that is being used for politcal purposes.

People were caught unaware of the 9/11 attacks because there was no warnings whatsoever. Maybe now even if there's no real big evidence about the threat (so far), Americans would be conscious enough(and be aware) and heed the warning--but not so far as to live in terror and let it get to them.

Eh He He. Blogged as if I'm a Republican!

Updated: Ah, now I get it. The alert was based from report that a man arrested in Pakistan was the basis for the the warnings.
