If you look over to the terror alert indicator at the right, you'll notice that Bert is alone. It's a week after the American election and suddenly the Orange alert for areas in New York and Washington is over.
Federal authorities lowered the terror alert status for areas around financial institutions in New York, Washington and northern New Jersey, saying Wednesday that additional security precautions had reduced the threat.
So it took them three months to take these additional security precautions and it all just happened to come together immediately after the election.
These guys are amazing, aren't they? Or would shameless be a better word?
Didn't you hear? Ashcroft resigned because "the objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved."
Don't insult the shameless!
