Al-Qaida chatter: Planning to wait for US to mess up own election
http://www.minitrue.com/

Washington — Senior intelligence officials say what they originally thought was a plan by terrorists to carry out a large-scale attack to influence November's presidential election is actually wrong, and that the terrorists simply plan to do nothing but watch disputed returns come in on the Fox News Channel via satellite.

1. I don't believe a word of that crap
BushCo had negative reactions to the "save my skin" delay plan, so they're trying to sweep it under the rug.

Besides, they wouldn't be so free about protected sources anyway. This is bullshit PR.

5. Maybe on that site, but I've heard the idea discussed
seriously. It was water-cooler theory in my office on Monday. Not as popular as the "Kerry dropping out at the last minute" nonsense, but people take that stuff seriously.

As for me, I believe nothing before Election Day except for knowing who I'll vote for.

3. Hmmm. These are 'senior intelligence officials"
isn't that...... The CIA??

I wonder what's up? Has the revenge/retribution plan been launched?
