Another aide spoke out of turn again today. I guess its what happens when you have a slow news day, you find anything to talk about. But it's what the aide said and the NYT reaction to it.
If you didn't follow the link the synopsis is this: "Charlie Black, a senior adviser to Senator John McCain, was quoted in a magazine interview saying that another terrorist attack in the United States would "be a big advantage" for Mr. McCain in the upcoming election".
Now, of course McCain said 'NoWai' and the Obama side said 'LOL' but what's more important here is that NYT is dead wrong. Another terrorist attack would be the *worst* thing for Republicans now because it would prove that A.) No Administration would be able to prevent everything, and only highlight Bush's failures, and B.) What more can you do as a President to fight terrorism if you already nearly run as a police state and have your own personal gulag (we haven't forgotten about you Guantanimo).
To me it'd just prove that a little 'inexperience' may be a good thing right about now.

Oh yeah -- big time. I just hope that everyone is as astute as you in seeing that another attack just proves the failure of the whole foreign policy. I'm worried that fear will make a military solution more attractive though. If we are *afraid* we use that to justify fighting. And if there is no fear, someone has to manufacture it.
