Another left-wing freak says the Bush administration timed terror alerts to maximize political effect.
Only this time it’s Tom Ridge saying it, the guy in charge of deciding when to issue terror alerts.
Interestingly, Ridge refers to a terror alert Rumsfeld, Ashcroft and others wanted to have drop just before the 2004 election, one he eventually refused to issue. He doesn’t note earlier cases, like in the summer of 2004, of terror alerts that were issued under equally dubious circumstances.
