Worst Timing Ever for Bush & Co.
While the British plane-bombing suspects allegedly were planning their attacks, the Bush administration was seeking to quietly divert funds for developing new technologies that could have scanned for liquid explosives.

AP via ABC News:

While the British terror suspects were hatching their plot, the Bush administration was quietly seeking permission to divert $6 million that was supposed to be spent this year developing new homeland explosives detection technology.

Makes you kinda wonder huh?....

2. I doubt it would make any difference if the did cover it
I think the deal with these people I call * base aren't going to say or do anything that may look like they were ever wrong about anything especially something as important as their support of the President of the United States. They like him won't admit making mistakes

3. It makes me wonder why we're not hearing more about this.
Tell us again who the "al-Qaeda candidate" is, CNN?
