The distraction is working
(Rove rubs his greasy little hands together gleefully)

Today, our government was caught rummaging through our bank accounts. Things are so totally falling apart in Iraq they had to shut down Baghdad. So what are we talking about here? Seven would-be terrorists from Miami who were set up by the FBI.

5. they SAY it's overseas accts - just like it's only foreign phone calls
They're looking at your bank account just like they're watching who you call, and what you buy on your credit card, and where you go online.

If they're not doing it yet, they're trying to figure out how.

2. Isn't This The 2006 Version Of Elevated Color Coded Terror Alerts...
All of a sudden we're surrounded by evil terrorists. Funny how they all go away after each election.

3. How about looking into to who bought those put options on 9/11 flights...
Remember in late 2001? That was how we would PROVE who was behind the attacks.

I haven't heard a peep about that for over 3 years. Even in the "alternate media"...

So what about those stock options? Who bet that UA and AA would have a drastic drop in stock value?

6. I don't know
For one thing, all disctractions work in the short run - but we will have to see if this permenantly changes the way we talk about the War on Terror (as it is so named). I doubt it will.
