LIAR!

Yesterday, there was this big foofarah when Bush announced that a terror plot was stopped to bomb what was once the Library Tower in LA. The LA mayor blasted him, the press tore apart McClellan in the gaggle(see"footless terrorists,") and just about every mainstream terror expert raised their eyebrows.

Bush was trying to justify the NSA Domestic eavesdropping program, but turns out he might have exaggerated just a little. (surprise)

(AP) A Malaysian recruited by al-Qaida to pilot a plane in a second wave of Sept. 11-style attacks on the United States pulled out after observing the carnage of the 2001 assaults, Southeast Asian officials said Friday......

The plan never appeared close to the stage where it could be put into execution.

UPDATE: Holden at First Draft has got it all. The footless terrorists, and a wonderful exchange with a reporter had with Frances Townsend, assistant to the president for Homeland Security, whose qualification was that she was dept. spokesperson.
