So the Bush Administration claims to have foiled a plot to hit a skyscraper in Los Angeles four years ago. Maybe I'm dumb, but reading that story, I don't see how his Administration and its policies had much to do with it. An unnamed country in Southeast Asia flipped a terrorist and they passed the word along to us. I'm very glad they did, but I suspect that might have been the case even had there been no September 11 and subsequent changes in policy.
We can count on our boy George, always trying to scare the public into believing he and his party are our true saviors.

Posted by: Curmudgeon at February 9, 2006 11:23 PMAs someone (Atrios?, Josh Marshall?) pointed out, Dubya's story makes no sense -- you don't hijack a plane with shoe bombs, since those things either kill/maim the wearer or rip holes in fuselages. Or both. In either case, the bomber would be in no condition to commandeer the plane and fly it into a building.
