The Nexus of Politics and Terror (Keith Olbermann)
From the 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' web site:

***

October 12, 2005

Secaucus - Last Thursday on Countdown, I referred to the latest terror threat - the reported bomb plot against the New York City subway system - in terms of its timing. President Bush’s speech about the war on terror had come earlier the same day, as had the breaking news of the possible indictment of Karl Rove in the CIA leak investigation.

I suggested that in the last three years there had been about 13 similar coincidences - a political downturn for the administration, followed by a “terror event” - a change in alert status, an arrest, a warning.

We figured we’d better put that list of coincidences on the public record. We did so this evening on the television program, with ten of these examples. The other three are listed at the end of the main list, out of chronological order.

2. Darn, I was afraid I might have been posting a dupe.
Thanks for pointing out the prior thread. Duh!
