Citing "new and unusually specific information about where al Qaeda would like to attack," Director of Homeland Security Tom Ridge today raised the threat level to code orange (high) for the financial services sector of New York City, northern New Jersey and Washington. "While we have raised the threat level ... the rest of the nation remains at an elevated, or yellow, risk of attack," Ridge said.Oh...that's just...great?
Hey, and where is President Bush? In church and on his bike.
Washington, DC, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- President George W. Bush tended to body and soul during a layover in Washington Sunday before resuming his multi-state campaign tour.
Bush, along with first Lady Laura Bush, started the day with customary worship at St. John's (Episcopal) Church, across Lafayette Park from the White House. During the service congregants listened to readings and Scripture dealing with man's relationship with material possessions and the need for responsibility to others and gratitude to God.
Then it was off to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Va., where the president spent two-hours vigorously riding his mountain bike. Bush, once an avid jogger, has turned to bike riding as a result of knee pain.
