| al-Qaeda's threat to attack the United States before the Nov. 2 election is geared less toward affecting the outcome of the presidential race than toward making a violent statement to Islamic extremists worldwide, senior counterterrorism officials said Monday. The officials said the network's aim in the United States, and in other countries as well, is mainly to disrupt the democratic process in a more general sense. "Striking America at a time of heightened sensitivity, perhaps they would see that as a feather in their cap," said one senior administration official, who along with three others briefed reporters on condition of anonymity Monday about the pre-election threat. |

| #2 Well any "spectacular" devices going off here near election day may yield a large crater over there and certain "enemy combatants" placed in the center so they can absorb some "glow"... |

| #1 Memo to Kerry, Kennedy, Edwards, Carville, Begala, Lockhart, Cahill, et.al. THEY WANT TO KILL US - that is you, me, everyone - black, white, hispanic, christian, jew and even muslims who don't buy into wahabiism. It is rather quite simple - that is why Kerry will lose big time and Bush gets 4 more. The message is the medium not the inverse. |
