HOMELAND SECURITY – RIDGE GOES COLOR BLIND: Former Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge is making some interesting – and potentially controversial – accusations as of late. During a recent forum, Ridge stated that the Bush administration, against the protests of the Homeland Security department, had "periodically put the USA on high alert for terrorist attacks even though … there was only flimsy evidence to justify raising the threat level." Ridge recalled several cases in which administration officials were "'really aggressive' about raising it, and we said, 'For that?'" He continued on to claim that "he often disagreed with administration officials who wanted to elevate the threat level to orange, or 'high' risk of terrorist attack, but was overruled." In fact, according to Ridge, "More often than not were the least inclined to raise it." Since Ridge's resignation earlier this year, the DHS has been considering alternatives to the color-coded warning system. ....

Born Aug. 26, 1945, in Pittsburgh's Steel Valley, Gov. Ridge was raised in a working class family in veterans' public housing in Erie.

The ones who bought all the duct tape will never learn. Even with Tom Ridge saying it was all bullshit, the idiots will never abandon their little prince. They will say Ridge holds a grudge or something.

Surprising that Ridge is admitting this.

of using terror alerts even when there wasn't a threat. Excuse me, that is a high crime, an abuse of power, it is treason.

Will someone please file charges against these criminals.
