Bush possible New Zealand terror target: report

1 hour, 19 minutes ago

WELLINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush was among the possible targets in threats recorded by New Zealand police who have arrested 17 people in an anti-terrorist sweep, a report said Sunday.

<...>

Washington is said to have agreed to let New Zealand police handle the investigation, the report said.

<...>

Earlier this year Bush and wife Laura were tipped to make a brief visit to New Zealand at the conclusion of a summit of Asia-Pacific nations in Sydney in September.

US Embassy spokeswoman Janine Burns declined to comment on whether any threat to Bush was a factor in his decision not to go to New Zealand.

6. Imagine

letting the police handle it instead of his standard response to terrorism (real or made up): invade New Zealand.

4. Only so many years ago, that would have been called an assassination plot.

Now it's terra, terra, terra, training camp, 9/11, terra.

Perhaps a nap is in order.
