This idiot was not even mayor when this plot took place in 2002. Why is he making a big deal over this. I am sure the proper LA authorities were aware of this.

Yeah, but why let facts stand in the way of a good Bush bash. The A.P. dutifully reported the backlash and not the pertinent fact. Mission accomplished.

I'm not 100% sure that would have been the case. Once the LA threat was neutralized, any airing of it might have limited our ability to stop other threats by compromising the sources and methods used.
