Its almost as though they want us to be afraid

You don't have to be cynical to think that bureaucrats love to tout this type of success in order to prove they're worthy, since there's really not many other ways to prove they're doing a good job.

And I am sure you recall that Cheney, et al., take the position that you should vote for Republicans because Republicans keep you safe and Democrats don't.

And then there's always the old "Wag the Dog" routine in order to boost sagging popularity ratings and distract attention.

But I wouldn't think you were too cynical if you connected stuff like this with fundraising, as it's time to shake the donation can again.
