"I think it's fair to say that we don't have any specific credible threat information with regard to the convention, you know, from a terrorist standpoint."
Let's see, Osama bin Laden is still on the loose, he got to watch Saddam Hussein get arrested, he has a degree in accounting, and he worked undercover in Chicago. Oh, and he was a "legal" attache in Baghdad.
Let's hope all of the additional security personnel in Denver do get to go there, see the Rocky Mountains, and go home.
Heckuva job, Jimmie!
