How do the terror alert orders get to Ridge?
Ridge says Homeland Security "doesn't do politics" which we know is BS.
Someone (such as Rove or Cheney?) must be ordering the alerts.
How are these orders being passed to Ridge?
Just wondering out loud. We need more wistle blowers.

3. I blame Lynndie England.
Don't you realize that she's the mastermind behind everything this Administration has done? ;)

4. Probably at gunpoint. I think Ridge is standing down because
he is tired of being the messenger. He looks reluctant to make the announcements at times. Maybe, just maybe, he has some integrity that is being hidden.

5. We need a Congressional committee...
to look into 'possible' terror alert abuses by the Bush administration. Not political? Oh yes they are. As Americans, we should demand our representatives do their damn job and put some checks and balances on these unelected despots. I'm SICK of it!

The Big Dog was wrong on this one, but one of his biggest faults is trusting people or thinking better of people he absolutely shouldn't even give the time of day to (ex: Morris, Stephenapoulus).
