Politics Steps to Announcing That a Terror Plot Has Been Foiled
First: Tell the Vice President so he can criticize Democrats as weak on terrorism before they even know that a plot has been foiled.
Second: Tell the Republican National Committee so it can be ready to send out a fund-raising appeal on the day that the foiling of the plot is announced.
Last: Tell the public.
But it was the British, we can't take credit for that, can we?
