~ we have another declaration that al qaeda is planning to attack the united states; again there are no details, proof, or evidence – easily the most useless and stupid statement we have heard all day. as that the reason for al qaeda’s existence, why do they need to remind us? are they going to point out that the fbi has picked up some chatter that the new york yankees are planning to win the world series and make a lot of money, some time in late summer or early fall? what is strange is that this ‘information’ was fed to the media right after the kerry and edwards ticket moved into the headlines. i guess we will have to look out for whatever until bush is reelected or until the end of july, when bin laden is to be captured/killed, according to the new republic [w].
