I mean that whenever there's info on a terrorist plot or activity or the alert level gets raised, the automatic response for many on this board is "look at the timing! It's just a hoax by the Bush administration!" That is said when there's nothing going on and therefore the administration has to keep "terror" in the news. That's also said when there's a primary or a criminal investigation or a grand jury meets or other anything else happens. It's a knee-jerk reaction and it's starting to wear thin. It can't possibly be the answer all the time, no matter what else is or isn't in the news.

Does this administration use it to their advantage? Of course. Are they dishonest in their responses? Absolutely. Are they failures on all aspects of national security? Definitely! But, to dismiss any and all reports of terrorist activity as Bush BS is absurd. And getting old.

And, I'll go one step further and add that I think it shows that a lot of DU'ers are scared of the reality. They don't want to admit that their next plane trip could end in disaster - it's a lot easier to blow it off and chalk it up to a Rovian strategy. It's easier to sleep at night that way but it's a delusional state to live in.
