Another Quirky Bushism

President Bush today dropped a bomb (figuratively, everybody, figuratively) when he announced that Al Qaeda was planning a major operation post 9/11 inside the United States back in 2002.

Today he released details of the report. Some of those details purport that hijackers from a SouthEastern Asian country were going to storm an email and were going to use shoe bombs to blow up the cockpit door, take control of the plane and then crash the plane into the then called Liberty Tower.

President Bush then conveniently tied everything together by implying that the the case was cracked by his outstanding domestic spying efforts (my words, not his).

As you can imagine, I have quite the opinion of this and lots of questions:

-If the domestic spying was so effective, who were these alleged hijackers? Have they been captured? Is the CIA sitting outside there door?

-Was anybody (of non-need to know importance) informed of this? If not, why not? Interestingly, even the MAYOR of Los Angeles was not informed of this plot! You're telling me that nobody bothered to pick up a phone, drop an email, or paste a little yellow sticky on the mayors computer, letting him know what the hell was going on?!

-Why wasn't this brought up sooner, say before the New York Times article about this adminstrations domestic spying program? Surely, since it's been a couple years since this event was to occur, it would be okay to let us know about the evil plot.

I would challenge the administration to the point to say that I believe their hiding more than their telling us. By doing this, they could be possibly be putting the country in greater danger than it is already in.
