I'm not trying to uncover conspiracy theories (although, I can't speak for the author of the article) here - I just read an interesting article and thought I'd share it with everyone.
Personally though, I don't feel like the Bush Administration has my best interest at heart. Seeing the issuing of terror alerts in relation to bad press sure makes it seem like spin control by the Bush Administration. Actually, it's not even spin control - they're not trying to change the stories to put themselves in a better light - they're flat out saying "HEY! LOOK OVER HERE INSTEAD!". This seemed especially evident in the days after Edwards was announced as Kerry's running mate and Tom Ridge went on national TV and issued a generic terror warning, without any corresponding changes in the color codes or revealing any specific information. (I think the Daily Show's bit on this was excellent, I wish I could find a clip of it online).
