Newsweek:
"American counter-terrorism officials, citing what they call 'alarming'
intelligence about a possible Qaeda strike inside the US this fall, are
reviewing a proposal that could allow for the postponement of the
November presidential election in the event of such an attack." [Scripting News]
Keep in mind that there's a difference between plan making and
policy
making. It is the job of the planners to prepare a course of action for
any scenario, plausible or implausible. The existence of a plan does
not on its own imply a non-zero chance of its adoption as policy. As
with all breathless news that "X has a SECRET plan to do Y", I would
actually be more suprised if they did NOT have such a plan available.
That said, I wish I had faith that the current policy makers were not peeking over that wall.
In other news, "Vote is threatened by terrorist attacks, vote suspended due to red alert" is ranked third at octobersurprise.com.
