I thought that the new Homeland Security team was supposed to sort out this kind of mess and present a unified, clear message on possible terror threats. Sadly, the confusion continues and Americans are left wondering if a threat actually exists or if this is just politics as usual by Bush.
"Rep. Christopher Cox, R-Calif., who is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said the Ashcroft-Mueller news conference on Wednesday mistakenly led some to believe the nation's threat level had been increased.So what the hell is going on? Is anyone running the show serious about safety or is this just another game? Let's start demanding that these clowns start showing us tangible results from previous alerts. Oh, that's right, this is not even an alert because the color code has not changed.
"Their separate public appearances left the impression that the broad and close interagency consultation we expect — and which the law requires — may not have taken place in this case," Cox said.
Homeland Security Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse reiterated Thursday that his agency has not seen any change in the "steady stream of threat reporting." - AP
