Despite Lacking ‘Specific Information,’ Townsend Claims Al Qaeda May Target 2008 Elections
Excuse me :puke:
----

The 2008 elections are still a year away, but this morning outgoing Homeland Security Adviser Frances Fragos Townsend told CNN that al Qaeda may target the presidential elections. She said that while there is currently no “specific information,” “we know that Al Qaeda views these periods as being a particularly vulnerable period.”

2. It's more likely the Republican owned voting machine companies
will target the elections. In fact, they've probably got the code written already.

6. Assuming they exist at all,
that statement can cover a multitude of sins. We have no specific information, but they could target___________. We know they like to do these things. You fill in the blank.
