does anyone think it's kind of an odd coincidence that we're getting terror alerts the same day that the president's main advisor, karl rove, has been summoned to answer questions in front of a grand jury about his role in a politically damaging case?

wag the dog...

Yes. The good old "Terra'alert!" trick is so old that I can't believe people are still buying into it. Come on, guys... what are you going to do when Rove actually gets indicted?

Just you. He wasn't "summoned", he requested to go back.

fine. :roll: split the hairs, why don't you? the point is that he has to go back, which looks bad for the administration no matter how you look at it.

Noting the difference between being summoned and asking to testify again is hardly splitting hairs.

The people bitching now about being warned, I guarantee they would still be bitching if something did happen and they weren’t warned.

Why does it look bad? The gov't is trying to get to the bottom of the intelligence leak. They called all sorts of people to testify, does that make all of them look bad?

Maybe. But I do remember the last terror alert, coincidentally a day after the democratic convention was based on very old, outdated information. This time Bush just made a speech about the war on terror and voilà - a new terror warning -> don't question the iraq war again!
Maybe I'm just getting paranoid or it has to do with the "fool me once, fool me twice"-theorem.
