What kind of TWO NUTCASES say this?.....

About the Canadian terror bust ???

"We certainly don't believe that there's any link to the United States," said Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice on Sunday on CBS' Face the Nation.


WHEN...
The Los Angeles Times reported that members of the group also had discussed the possibility of hitting targets in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.

Russ Knocke, a spokesman for the U.S. Homeland Security Department, said Secretary Michael Chertoff phoned Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day on Saturday to talk about the arrests.

The U.S. department had no direct involvement in the case, he said, and is not calling for any elevated security measures.

There are terrorist attacks being planned next door to Niagra Falls - What does it take to raise the alert? An election???? According to the DHS website, the only alert since the selection of Nov 2004 was this: April 19, 2005 – Information Bulletin – Unauthorized Peer to Peer (P2P) Programs on Government Computers (PDF, 4 pages - 50 KB)

4. You're so right. You know for a mAdministration that
jumps on the press with "you shouldn't have said whatever you are abetting the terrarists" what did they do ? Announce to the world that they are easing up on protecting NYC and DC.

But you know what, I actually understand what Chertoff was trying to say about it. 2005 had specific one time capital expenditures in the budget which would not recur in 2006. But he absolutely did create a PR nightmare.

What I am most concerned about is his nonchalance. I want the DHS to be led by a real firecracker who jumps and reacts and protects us !!!

5. canadian terrorists
seem to get a free ride from the nsa spy program. Imagine that, all the money and spying they do and the canadians come up with a bust our super spys had nothing to do with.

6. Did Chertoff star in Nightmare Before Christmas?
Jesus, that guy looks like he got dug up 4 years after he was buried.

8. too funny. And his personality matches. He acts so
nonchalant. (ala we'll send the NOLA convention people water next week). I want a freakin hyperactive maniac running DHS - someone who worries about EVERY threat and acts, not reacts.
