Beating the drum of fear, fear, fear

this kind of concerted push to convince us that another terrorist attack may be right around the corner simply can't be good... something's up and it smells like a dead skunk under the back porch...

Chicago's Sears Tower and other iconic buildings in Seattle, Dallas and Los Angeles still top al Qaeda's target list in the U.S., according to the top U.S. intelligence official.

"Their intentions are mass casualties larger than 9/11 inside the United States," Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell said in an interview with the D.C. radio station WTOP. "A very large building. The Sears Tower, or some large building in Seattle or L.A. or Dallas."

McConnell also confirmed publicly what senior officials had told ABC News privately.

"In some cases they've got people positioned, more in Europe -- we suspect here in the United States, but we have no clear and compelling evidence they're in the United States," McConnell told WTOP.

booman puts it quite succinctly...

The last time I felt this sick to my stomach was in December 2005 when the Bush administration responded to revelations that they were breaking the FISA law by insisting they had every right to do so...and then framed the 2006 elections around the wisdom of them doing so.

i agree... i have been feeling very nearly physically ill all day, actually for several days... like i said last week, every nerve in my body is a-tingle...
