Er... they wouldn't actually raise the terror level, would they?
Actually, I'm surprised they haven't earlier. But to do it now would be the most blatant wag-the-dog scenario, yes? They wouldn't be this stupid/desperate. Or, then again, maybe they would.

Thoughts?

1. If they thought it would work ...
they would do it in an instant. The only thing that might hold them back is if they fear too many people would see through it.

2. Oh, yes, they would..................
I wouldn't put it past the "Administration of Evil" to stage a terrorist attack at a polling place just to hold down the turn-out.

However, I'm having difficulty reconciling a group of people crafty and capable enough to stage a phoney attack with the same group of people that moronically left 380 tons of powerful explosives unguarded.

3. What, you think they WON'T?!
They've done it every time before, they're just waiting a few more days yet before they make the announcement.

I'm betting it'll be Sunday. Or Monday morning.

7. Does that even work?
Because I just yawn and change the channel when some dumbass "newscaster" says anything about the terror alert system.
