TERROR ALERT

If you look at the MSNBC home page, you will see that a tape purportedly from Al Qaida calls for new attacks.

According to the article:

It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the recording or determine when it was taped. In Washington, a U.S. official said the CIA was aware of the tape and was looking at it.

and,

The tape emerged one day after a campaign debate between President Bush and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., discussed the U.S. war on terror and the search for bin Laden...  An Al-Jazeera producer said the tape was "supposedly received today," by usual means, which he refused to discuss. The station showed almost four minutes in two clips of a longer recording, and, as usual, was not planning to broadcast the tape in full.

What does it mean when a tape is "supposedly received today"?  

I received my breakfast today.  I also received a ride to work today.  I can't think of anything I have "supposedly" received today except a new infusion of fear after a good day for John Kerry.

It is funny how the terrorists never threaten us when Bush is surging.  I wonder who they want to win?  It's too bad Gallup can't release a new poll every day.  If they did, our country really would be safe and secure.
