Is it just me or shouldn't this be, you know, a pretty big deal? If the Bush Administration was raising the terror alert status willy-nilly to suit his own political fortunes - including just prior to a closely contested election in 2004 - then shouldn't that be something worth looking into?

And, given that Tom Ridge resigned shortly afterward and has apparently stated that his resignation was tied to this, wouldn't that explain why Sen. John McCain's political advisors - the veterans of the Bush campaigns - were so opposed to him being on the ticket?
