Bush Failed To Warn Vegas Of Possible Attack

(* Are these warnings only becuse of the election season? Yup.)

WASHINGTON - A year after the Sept. 11 attacks, the Justice Department (news - web sites) obtained video surveillance tapes suggesting terrorists were targeting Las Vegas casinos but authorities never alerted the public as they discussed whether a warning might hurt tourism or increase the casinos' legal liability, internal memos show.

The mayor of Las Vegas said Monday he was never told about the tapes uncovered in Detroit and Spain in 2002, and had been assured by the FBI (news - web sites) there were no credible threats against his city. "If I were told, I would certainly tell the public," Mayor Oscar Goodman said.
