But wait! The US government can claim it stopped al Qaeda from disrupting the 2004 elections in the United States.
OK, maybe claim is too strong a word. FBI Director Robert Mueller said we should assume there was a plot, and then assume the FBI thwarted it. From the decidedly non-liberal Washington Times comes this UPI snippet:
While "we may never know if an operation was indeed being planned," Mueller said in prepared remarks, "I am certain that the FBI's tremendous response to the threat played an integral role in disrupting any operational plans that may have been under way.
At least Goss and Mueller had the good sense to admit that the Iraq war is making our efforts to defeat al Qaeda much harder.
