It probably is months old...and if it wasn't made public the Bush Adminsitration would be baking right now for holding it back. It is a NO WIN SITUATION.

Good point...

Could this be our way of telling them ......back off....

Now I wonder what is really in those intercepts that has someone so worried they leaked this or planted this story....

Someone high up wants this out .......fast!

Because the balloon is going up here, almost immediately, just as it is going up in India this weekend.

It isn't, but the press must have something to say, so they make it up,
and attibute it to "senior government sources."

First of all there is nothing specific in them. More importantly, where have you been during the past week? You think Bush wants to come out after the next attack and say he was briefed about the possibility of additional attacks but didnt announce that to the public? I dont think so.

They're out there on the Senate floor screaming for transparency, that's why!

I would expect it is because of people like Daschle, Hillary, McKinney, Lieberman, McCain that are stewing around trying to lay blame on Bush as being totally incapable of being president. Now all info will be publicized and it we know too much - Al Qaida will just alter their plans a little.

Isn't our country shrewd? We cannot protect ourselves because we among ourselves try to destroy each other. Anything done - will be criticized for the pursuit of power. Therefore - all politicians will determine their actions based on what the opponents will say - not what needs to be done to protect us.

I absolutely hate the democratic party I see in action.
