Letter: Terrorism alerts are disruptive

Thursday, Aug. 5, 2004 | 8:59 a.m.

Franklin Roosevelt told us, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." George W. Bush tells us, "We're a nation in danger." And now it is revealed that information used to increase the current terrorism alert is as much as four years old.

We have been told since Sept. 11, 2001, that the terrorists work by putting fear into us and trying to disrupt our lives. How is pulling out old information and going to the American public with statements such as "nation of danger" any different?
