Homeland Stupidity

Listening to Randi Rhodes for admittedly the first time in a while. She suggested that Tom Ridge by:

1. raising the terror alert level during the Democratic National Convention (in order theoretically to get divert the public's attention); and
2. outing the guy in jail in London who happened to have been used as a mole...

... screwed up an ongoing investigation which happened to be focusing on preventing a bombing attack on London subways.

Basically, there's a better chance of preventing terrorist attacks if you don't give out secret information for political purposes. Wonder what the outing of Valerie Plame mucked up?

Here's a story on the web corresponding with the above theory:

Argh.

Meanwhile, thoughts and prayers go out once more to the people of London today after the newest attacks.
