Be Affraid. Be Very Affraid.











Wisconsin Attorney General Candidate JB Van Hollen tells reporters that terrorists are training and raising money in Wisconsin. When pressed for specifics, Van Hollen declined saying that divulging any information would make him guilty of a felony.

But Van Hollen did say that the kind of training he was referring to "is not the physical training, not the things you would customarily hear or see, or anything that rises to the level of illegality."

Yeah, because I think we would have noticed that.

Campaign spokesman Brian Fraley defended Van Hollen's refusal to back up his claims that terrorists are alive and well in the dairy state.

"He can't talk about specifics that he dealt with ... as U.S. attorney," said Van Hollen campaign spokesman Brian Fraley. "He can't breach the confidentiality of that office. (But) it would be naive to think there aren't terrorists in Wisconsin."

It's even more naive to think that a former U.S. Attorney can make wild- ass accusations about terrorist activities in the state without being asked to substantiate his claims.

A little too much of Curse of the Were-Rabbit for Von Hindenhollen,I'm afraid.

Wallace: [sobbing] Oh, Gromit! I don't want to be a rabbit!

Hutch the Rabbit: Aww. The bounce has gone from his bungee.

"...anything that rises to the level of illegality."

I'm all in favor of the War on Terror, and even proactive solutions, but does he seem to be suggesting we should be monitoring potential terrorists' work-out habits?
