"August 24, 2009
While it may be true that no one in their right mind doubted that the Bush-Cheney administration was manipulating all those color-coded terror alerts for political purposes, former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge's confirmation of the suspicion is significant for political and legal reasons.
Ridge's upcoming book, The Test of Our Times: America Under Siege... And How We Can Be Safe Again, accuses the Bush-Cheney White House of pushing the homeland security chief to "raise the national security alert just before the 2004 election."
According to the former Pennsylvania governor's publisher, the book will reveal that Ridge was, for political reasons, "pressured to connect homeland security to the international 'war on terror.'"
The alleged manipulations of terror alerts around the time of the 2002 and 2004 elections represent the ugliest and most troubling of the alleged assaults by the Bush-Cheney administration on the democratic process and on national security. Ridge says he resisted some of the pressure, but his charges open up serious questions about the extent to which the alerts were used to warp voting and policy-making to fit the dictates of White House political czar Karl Rove's electoral strategies.

Of course Ridge is back peddling now as the Bush klan always does after cashing in on their crime complicity with a book deal.
