New Air Terror Concerns Raised (washingtonpost.com)
U.S. officials alerted some airports and airlines yesterday about renewed concerns that terrorists might try to use inbound international flights to attack the United States, according to aviation and Bush administration officials.

U.S. officials yesterday said there were no plans to cancel flights. But it is a possibility as officials in other countries analyze the intelligence and decide what security precautions to take.

"The intelligence isn't specific enough" to say whether the main danger is a hijacking followed by a crash landing, or some other attack scenario, a U.S. official said.

Is it just me, or does the word "intelligence" immediately raise doubts? Will this administration shift blame for Iraq to our so-called "intelligence", but yet continue to site it when it suits their agenda?

I guess I shouldn't blame them ; Bush is the LIAR.
