Terror Alerts Used For Political Gain
The timing of Terror Alerts has always been suspect especially since we have not had a major Terror Alert since the 2004 election. Crooks and Liars looks at the latest revelation that was summed up on Countdown with Keith Olberman.
According to Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), Chairwoman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Terrorism Risk Assessment, the Bush administration knowingly used bogus intelligence to make lawmakers believe there was the chance of an imminent attack on the U.S. Capitol, thus frightening them into passing the temporary expansion of his powers to spy on Americans under the FISA act.
Olbermann has explored the unique timing of previous Terror Alerts wondering about the convenience of the timing. Remember the Terror Alerts following the Democratic Convention in 2004?

What kind of organization is this?
I’m always skeptical about politicians in general. Whether I agree and support their policies I am always weary of their true intentions. It’s probably a healthy thing that comes from my Italian upbringing. In Italy no one trusts politicians, and is it any wonder, just take a look at the info from “The Fleecing of America” granted this info has made its rounds in emails, but I thought I would post it.
Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

- 3 have done time for assault
- 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
- 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
- 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
- 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
- 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last yearCan you guess which organization this is?
