distracting terror

someone’s compiled an excellent list of the mysterious correlation between any bad news or approval ratings decline for the gwbush administration and issued terror alerts:

March 15, 2004 — Military families organize together to oppose the war.

March 16, 2004 — Dems call for probe on Medicare cost cover-up.

March 17, 2004 — Condoleeza opts of 9/11 Commission hearings. She repeats her refusal several times during the week, and later on appears on “60 Minutes” to explain her position.

March 18, 2004 - News report that a “high target” Al Qaeda leader has been “sorrouded” in the border with Pakistan. Cnn suggests it may be Bin Laden or al-Zawahri. Reports of fierce fighting continue. After the fighting ends, it is reported that it wasn’t any “high value” target in the battle after all.

March 21, 2004 The State Department issues a terror alert.
