CBS2: "Australian authorities have received specific intelligence that terrorists are planning an attack on the country, Prime Minister John Howard said Wednesday.
Speaking in a nationally televised press conference in Canberra, Howard refused to give any details of the threat, which he said authorities received this week.
But he said he would introduce a minor amendment to counterterrorism laws in the House of Representatives on Wednesday afternoon and the Senate would be recalled Thursday to pass it into law."
Very shrewd. You can bet on it that the 'specific intelligence' was doctored by Mr Howard himself to get the backing for his law amendment.

CBS2: "Democrats forced the Republican-controlled Senate into an unusual closed session Tuesday, questioning intelligence that President Bush used in the run-up to the war in Iraq and accusing Republicans of ignoring the issue.
'They have repeatedly chosen to protect the Republican administration rather than get to the bottom of what happened and why,' Democratic leader Harry Reid said."
Remember: "Libby resigned from his White House post after being indicted on charges of obstruction of justice, making false statements and perjury."
And do you know what some conservatives like Scooter Libby spend their time on? Writing erotic fiction.
