I am half-inclinded to believe Ridge when he says that "we don't do politics" in the Dep't of Homeland Security - half-inclined being the highest degree of trust I have in anybody in the Bush Administration.

If in fact the intel on these entities was updated as recently as January, then there may have been good reasons to heighten security immediately. What troubles me a little is that the way they've gone about it gives alQaida and anyone else watching a very good view of exactly what our heightened security procedures look like.
