"Our enemies will test the new president early," Lieberman, I-Conn., told Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer. "Remember that the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. 9/11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration."

Lieberman nonetheless distanced himself from remarks by McCain chief strategist Charlie Black, who came under criticism for suggesting in an interview that McCain's election chances would be improved if a terrorist attack occurred before November.

"Sometimes even the best of them say things that are not what they intended to say," Lieberman said. "Certainly the implications there I know were not what Charlie intended. And he apologized for it. Senator McCain said he didn't agree. And, of course, I feel the same way.

7. Wait a minute, if we use republican logic any attack is always the fault
of the "prior" administration so this must mean its all the fault of Bush and his failed policies.

10. would this be a case for torture?
Since it would appear Lieberman has knowledge of a potential terrorist attack, shouldn't the intelligence community use all the tools at their disposal to extract the details from him? ticking timebomb and what-not...
