Will terror forecasts be one day as highbrow as the weather forecast?

In related news: the German secretary for interior affairs (cited in the linked article) has been under attack for his repressive plans in the field of domestic security.

The G8 summit isn't in a larger city

Is it in Wannsee, just for old times sake?

Hopefully they are more accurate.

Hell, I'd be happy if politicians just started basing it upon actual real information instead of just raising and lowering the "threat level" in an attempt to influence elections like Bush & Cheney did in 2004.

Vote Bush, he knows how to deal with terrorism. After all, he's the politician who has the most experience of terrorism, ever. During his years in charge, terrorism has reached an all time high, not only in US, but on a global scale.

[Kuciwalker]

What? We had more terrorist attacks on American soil during the Clinton administration than under Bush.

[Dinner]

How's that?

Clinton: OK City, first World Train center bombing. The total body count was a couple hundred, maybe.

Bush Jr: Both Twin Towers taken down, Penagon partially collapsed, and a plane load of people killed. Body count over 3000.

[Chemical Ollie]

Then look at the global scene: 100 terrorist victims or so per day, in Iraq alone. Then you have Madrid, Bali, Riyad, etc.

All-time-high.

[Kuciwalker]

Clinton: WTC, Oklahoma, Atlanta Olympics

Bush: 9/11, anthrax

[Dinner]

9/11 was 3 different attacks. Four if you count the destruction of each of the world trade center towers.

Nice try though and please accept this nice parting gift.
