Actually, if different (i.e., manual) excerpting had been done, that point might have made it across...rather than the focus on the mayor.
From the article:
The real issue here has nothing to do with the mayor. The van shouldn't even be in Pittsburgh, not when there's not enough money in the budget to train agents in Islamic languages and the radiation detection equipment deployed to screen cargo containers can't tell the difference between highly enriched uranium and Comet cleanser.
The real problem is the massive misallocation of the nation's limited anti-terrorism resources, a federal bureaucracy that's passing out free SUVs and treating billions in anti-terrorism spending as just so much more pork to be passed around, regardless of any meaningful risk assessments or cost-benefit analysis.
Manual posting, my sweet patootie, read my post again and then go to the link, and then come back here and tell me I did auto-posting. I could care less about the mayor, I just like Toby Keith's song.
And here it is again....
