The "biggest test yet" for the Transportation Security Administration, according to Michael Chertoff, was to ban all liquids except baby formula and medicines on all flights. Attorney General Gonzales said yesterday, there was no specific intelligence suggesting a plot in the US, and yet the terror threatometer was raised to its highest level for the first time ever. Other reports say MI5 and Pakistani sources have known about the plot since last summer. Currently no explosives or detonation equipment has been found. All this within 24 hours of anti-war candidate Ned Lamont's victory in the CT democratic primary. Is this "foiled plot" yet another example of political counterterrorism? Thus far the corporate media has once again taken the bait. How long will this remain home-page news? I have a feeling this will be similar to the "Sears Tower Plot"...remember that one just two months ago? A bunch of young, dissenting friends, fantasizing on the internet brings the worlds largest airports to a standstill.
