NY Tunnel Plot

The news this morning that a plot to blow up New York City tunnels leaves me disbelieving. There were too many phony terror alerts and supposed "plots" promulgated by the Bush Administration I don't believe a word they say any longer. Tens, maybe hundreds, of millions were wasted on hoaxes perpetrated on local governments because Bush agreed to torture Zubaydah and got all sorts of garbage as a result.

I suppose that's what you happens when you torture someone with multiple personality disorder. Everyone knows torture doesn't give good intelligence. The victim will eventually tell you anything they feel you want in order to stop the torture. What makes me think this latest scare is any different from the others? Nothing. I have come to so distrust anything coming from Washington I'll never acept anything they say any longer.

Of course I'm not alone. Most governments across the globe have come to feel they same way. America has lost all credibility in the world. Now that we face a real crisis that's creating a lot of problems.

On a related note did anyone watch the clips of George W. Bush on Larry King? How on earth can the man smirk while discussing Kim Sung-Il and the Korean crisis? How can we, or anyone else, take what he says seriously when he's smirking? You're 60 now Mr. President, it's time to begin acting like an adult and as a President. The White House isn't a frat party.
