Reports That Led to Terror Alert Were Years Old, Officials Say

OR: No need to come back to Washington, as Kerry urges vacationing Congress

"Much of the information that led the authorities to raise the terror alert at several large financial institutions in the New York City and Washington areas was three or four years old, intelligence and law enforcement officials said on Monday. They reported that they had not yet found concrete evidence that a terror plot or preparatory surveillance operations were still under way." (NY Times, August 3, 2004)

So let's see... Trump John Kerry, shock the people in blue states, like New York, New Jersey and Washington DC, ensure triple the protection during the Republican Convention, scare off any potential protestors...while we go on vacation.

But what is this? John Kerry is insisting we come back and take care of the "urgency"?

OK, OK! This was OLD information! Nothing urgent! Sorry a few people got the willies!
