Yes I agree with you, but the problems is that as soon the media gets his hand on the "terror alerts" they are the ones that make it into a
circus.
And we all know that most of the terrors alerts now comes because of Zarqawi, so knowing were he is at, I guess is hard to see the validity of the
threats.
Neverless is not something that should be keep away from the public.

The threats of Pre-Election terrorist attacks in the U.S.A. have not gone away, in fact according to the following report, these threats are very much
still real. However the feds have gone quiet, and according to the report the reason the current Republican administration has gone quiet on these
threats is mainly because Democrats, as in the past may say the administration is playing up a terror threat to frighten voters.

WASHINGTON Oct. 19, 2004 — FBI, Justice Department and Homeland Security Department officials aren't talking much about the threat of a terrorist attack to disrupt the election in two weeks.
It hasn't gone away; they're just wary of saying anything in public that could prompt Democrats to charge the administration is playing up a terror threat to frighten voters.
It was far different in the months and weeks before the political conventions in July and August. Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge all openly discussed the seriousness of the threat.
By all accounts, many hundreds of law enforcement agents are working around the clock to prevent al-Qaida from pulling off the major attack that intelligence suggests the terror network wants to carry out before the Nov. 2 election.
But Ashcroft, Mueller and Ridge have been largely silent of late about a pre-election threat, and there has been no change in the nation's color-coded threat level, which remains at the midpoint of yellow, or elevated.

Not warning the public about real threats of terrorist attacks because the other side could use it to their advantage?
Do we have to be political with the threats of terrorism?
It would seem that all is fair game in politics now, even the safety of the American public.
