Why the warning to senators and not to representatives?

What is Al Qaeda trying to do? Win support for their cause?

"Were given tips on how to protect themselves"

Hook and slice.
ZigZag in the golf carts.

The timing of this warning to the senators causes me to wonder if the Feds believe what's been going on in D.C. is terrorism.

I was in a Capitol Hill bar at lunchtime today and overheard a conversation indicating that the foursome of Daschle, Specter, Chaffee, and Jeffords are going to be teeing off tomorrow at 9:30 am sharp at the Rock Creek Golf Club. Just thought I'd pass this along in case anyone is looking for autographs.

Very good point. Unless the timing is just another "coincidence". The Feds have to know what's going on in DC is terrorism.

Bubba may want to tone down that red nose of his and wear pants to cover those blindingly pale legs.

Let me get this straight...Senators, who are NOT being shot, are warned that AL-QAEDA may have SNIPERS gunning for them. Citizens, who ARE being shot, are assured that al-Qaeda does NOT have snipers gunning for them. OK.
