A government controlled mainstream media source - the Washington Post - :P via a New York Times story yesterday - says most of the "intelligence" used to raise the terror alert in New York and Washington on the weekend was actually about three years old, even pre-dating 9/11.

Some wonder if the Bush camp used the capture of the information as an excuse to raise fears for political purposes.

But could they ignore it?

Meanwhile, a new post-convention poll has Bush/Kerry in basically a dead heat with the Democrat gaining a smaller than usual bump from his convention and the Republicans set to enter the news later this month with their own gathering in New York.
