Tom Ridge had a press meeting on Friday to announce:
- That the Department of Homeland Security has found "alarming" evidence that leads us to believe that al Qaeda is planning an attack against the United States.
- That the threat could occur on, or around the Presidential elections.
- That "we have no specific information" about the threat.
- Therefore, we are not raising the Threat Warning Level.
- But to counteract this threat, Intelligence Agencies "are actively working to obtain more knowledge" of the threat.
- Oh, and we could postpone the national elections.
- That the Department of Homeland Security was created by the Bush Administration.
- That Tom Ridge was appointed by the Bush Administration.
- That this threat "warning" (if you can call it that) was released the day after John Kerry pulled ahead in the polls.
