Bush administration moves forward with plans to disrupt our democratic process: "The US government is considering whether this year's presidential and congressional elections could legally be delayed in the event of a terrorist attack that threatened to disrupt the ballot.
The Department of Homeland Security has asked the Justice Department's office of legal counsel to report back on the legal requirements for postponing the November elections, according to a homeland security official.
The request came last week as senior US officials stepped up their warnings that al-Qaeda was planning attacks. Tom Ridge, homeland security secretary, said: 'Credible reporting now indicates that al-Qaeda is moving forward with its plans to carry out a large- scale attack in the US in an effort to disrupt our democratic process.'"
