Los Angeles terrorist attack thwarted in 2002. This one reeks. There are many reasons that this information didn't surface at the time, but there are even more reasons this intel is being made public now. Oh, I don't know, something to do with the "terrorist surveillance program?

Shortly after 9/11, al Qaeda began planning to use shoe bombers to hijack a commercial airplane and fly it into the tallest building in Los Angeles, California, President Bush said Thursday.

The details were the first from the administration about the West Coast airliner plot, which was thwarted in 2002 and initially disclosed by the White House last year.

The plot was set in motion by Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks, a month after the airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Bush said. It involved terrorists from al Qaeda's Southeast Asia wing, Jemaah Islamiyah.

Well it's kinda impossible to prove a negative now, isn't it? No one can prove al Qaeda planned such an attack if BushCo claims they stopped it. But timing is everything, and in light of one of Bush's lapdogs barking talking points at the Senate, it's painfully obvious where the administration is circling its wagons: Defending warrantless wire-taps. So how convenient it is now that this PR nightmare suddenly and mysteriously thwarted a devastating attack on the country's second largest city? The Blog is gonna have to call BS on that one. No, not just BS, but thinly veiled BS that only the talking heads on FoxNews are gonna buy.

Personally, I think there haven't been any terrorist attacks since 9/11/01 because of the magical extension cord I bought in October of 2001. Since I've owned this extension cord there have been no terrorists attacks on America.

Works like a charm, that extension cord. . .
