Meanwhile, a senior government official said Friday the administration now believes some of the information which led to upgrading the terrorist alert status to the second highest level was likely fabricated.

Dang, and I had bought all that duct tape...

Of course, this concerns me even more than an "orange alert":


Authorities drew that conclusion based on polygraphs given to terrorist suspects interviewed by the government, said this official, speaking on condition of anonymity. The apparent fabrication was first reported by ABC News.

Polygraphs?

This whole "Homeland Security" thing is nothing more than a bunch of people running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

"Real and credible threat" my patooty.

The warnings don't do anything.

They are just some bozi (plural of bozo) "educated" guess.

They certainly didn't help predict or prepare for ANY terrorist actions.

Perhaps the Bush administration realized that tax cuts for the rich are not going to stimulate the economy in any meaningful way, but terror-driven sales of duct tape might.

Yeah, polygraphs.

That's why I posted this. These morons are running around making it look like they are doing something, when in fact, they aren't. The whole "Department of Homeland Security," as it is now, is a total waste of time and lots of money.
