Regarding the foiled terrorist plot in the UK, "Weeks before September 11th, this is going to play big," said a White House official. Are you disgusted yet?
This article from Agence France-Presse is very good at putting things in perspective.
"His remarks came a day after the White House orchestrated an exceptionally aggressive campaign to tar opposition Democrats as weak on terrorism, knowing what Democrats didn't: News of the plot could soon break."
"But a senior White House official said that the British government had not launched its raid until well after Cheney held a highly unusual conference call with reporters to attack the Democrats as weak against terrorism."
Haven't read this in the US media. And it all makes sense. Bush knew about the plot last Saturday. Tony Snow said the comments were not made "in anticipation", but how could they not be?
