Bush's War on Terrorism

Former members of the Bush administration are out in force today attempting to discredit Tom Ridge the first head of the Homeland Security Department. A new book coming out claiming he was pressured to raise the terror threat level on the eve of the 2004 presidential election. And there were specifically war on terror related wedges that the Bush campaign used to drag him across the finish line as well. John Kerry criticized the Bush administration for blocking a bipartisan plan to give seniors access to lower priced prescription drugs from Canada. That same day FDA acting commissioner Lester Crawford said terrorist cues from chatter led him to believe Al Qaeda may try to attack Americans by contaminating imported prescription drugs.
