Two days after Bush’s claims of a foiled terror attack on Los Angeles, local officials are questioning the truthfulness his story.
"It didn't happen", said an unnamed official quoted in the Los Angeles Times today. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said he was surprised by this new description of the alleged plot and had received no advanced notice from the White House.
"There is no imminent threat to Los Angeles." the mayor said.
Critics of the Bush regime assert this story is an attempt by the White House to frighten the public into supporting his claims of success in fighting terrorism. And to justify such programs such as the warrantless surveillance of US citizens. Doubts about the credibility of the Bush story are fueled in part by Bush’s own words: "We believe the intended target was Liberty Tower in Los Angeles". There is no tower with that name in the City of Los Angeles.
