Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Thursday that al Qaeda may be moving forward with plans to carry out an large-scale attack on the United States.

hoping to influence our election just like they did in Spain. Won't work though. Kerry wants to increase troops in Iraq by 20,000. I think Kerry would finish things in Iraq quicker than Bush would.

July 19 issue - American counterterrorism officials, citing what they call "alarming" intelligence about a possible Qaeda strike inside the United States this fall, are reviewing a proposal that could allow for the postponement of the November presidential election in the event of such an attack, NEWSWEEK has learned. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5411741/site/newsweek/)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. officials have discussed the idea of postponing Election Day in the event of a terrorist attack on or about that day, a Homeland Security Department spokesman said Sunday. (http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/07/11/election.day.delay/index.html)

Why would they postpone it? It's not like we can have a "secret" make-up election day afterwards...it has to be public knowledge so we can get what few people who vote to show up in the first place.
Stupid, stupid idea, and Bush is just opening himself up to about a zillion conspiracy theories if he OK's this.

Instead of Planning for delaying the Election due to possibility of Terrorsts Attack; how about we concentrate on delaying the Terrorist Attack due to the Election.
