"because they've offended a minority fringe of left wing radicals?" What kind of thing is that to say? Let me refresh your memory, While Ashcroft was in Russia he announced "out of turn" the arrest the month before of Padilla - ostensibly an American al Qaeda.

After 9/11 Cheney told the press he was advising the president, which of course annoyed Bush. When Bush said he was going after the terrorists and going to capture them "dead or alive like the old west", his mouthpieces had to rephrase that.

Poor Colin Powell had to retract so much of what he has said because it did not agree with the White House agenda.

As for the potential risks of later, those would be the exponential increases in terrorist attacks should we attack.
