Feds now lying about why they cut NYC and DC's anti-terror money by 40%

Right. The Bush administration cut NY's (Hillary Clinton) and DC's (no vote in Congress) homeland security "stop the next 9/11" monies because the application wasn't emailed, it was faxed instead.

What is this, 5th grade?

Putting aside the fact that it appears the administration is lying - read the article - are they really trying to tell us that they would let the next September 11 happen, the big one, the nuclear one as they keep telling us, because New York City faxed their application instead of emailed it?

If this is true, that the Bush administration is holding back funding to stop the next September 11 because of the equivalent of grammatical errors, then everyone involved involved in this decision, up to the top of the Homeland Security department, needs to be fired.

Not to mention, then why did DC lose 40% of its funding as well? Funny how NYC and DC BOTH lost the same amount. Coincidence I'm sure.

As the mayor of NYC notes, this is looking more and more like Bush wanted the extra cash in the homeland security budget to dole out around the country to congressional districts that are in trouble in the next election.

They're using our 9.11 money for politics.

The war on terror is over. We lost.
