More 'Washington whispers' about possible pre-election terrorist attack
In the "Washington Whispers" section of this week’s US News & World Report, columnist Paul Bedard reports: "White House officials say they’ve got a ‘working premise’ about terrorism and the presidential election: It’s going to happen." Bedard quotes a top administration official as asserting, "We assume an attack will happen leading up to the election," and that it will happen in Washington, D.C.
There is an obvious question raised by these discussions: Are top officials in the Bush administration planning to allow such an attack in order to reap political advantage?
Anyone who would dismiss this possibility as an outlandish conspiracy theory underestimates both the depth of the administration’s crisis and the criminality of those who set its policy.
This is a government that came to office by means of theft and intimidation, gaining power only through the intervention of the Supreme Court on an explicitly anti-democratic basis.
