Security at the Dem National Convention

Amid final preparations for the first political nominating convention since the attacks of September 11, 2001, security officials are preparing to lock down a huge area of Boston. The lockdown comes as law enforcement sources told CNN there was a "credible" threat that a homegrown group or individual may be planning an attack against media covering the Democractic National Convention.

This from CNN.

Apparently Karl Rove will not rest until Boston is so secure that the Democrats will not be allowed into the city to nominate John Kerry. Cough.

I don't know if it's true, but I read elsewhere that Vegas or one of the betting place is taking odds that we'll mysteriously catch Osama or Zarqawi during the DNC. At best, I suspect they'd announce they caught him, then they'll admit they actually caught Dr. Ruth. It's perfectly understandable why a four-foot Jewish woman would be mistaken for Osama.
