Terrorism Threat in Germany (just kidding)

U.S. officials say no new security threat in Germany

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. and German officials said on Friday there was no new security threat in Germany after ABC News reported that officials believed that terrorists were planning an attack on U.S. military personnel or tourists in Germany.

Gonzales embarasses Bush again. Bush is rebuked by 12 GOP members over the Iraq war.

Quick! Someone come up with a handy terrorist threat as a distraction.

Mission accomplished.
