GOP Armor Cracks and Conspiracy Shines Through

Tom Ridge, formerly first Homeland Security Chief reveals in this interview in USA Today how the administration periodically put the US on "high security alert" when there was "flimsy evidence to justify raising the level" Ridge now says. Remember when that was? During the Democratic convention? During the fall of the campaign? A carefully crafted element of the "fear" campaign waged by the White House? Ridge regularly disagreed with them, and was out-voted. How surprising. The "high alert" was a key element of the "fear campaign". Scare the beejeezus out of Americans, and then the GOP calmly posits: "Hey, it's simple. Vote for them, you get blowed up?" Remember that? Where is the independent council? Where is the investigation? Where's the Jedi version of Ken Starr when you need him?
