The Next Terrorist Attack

Hmmm. US News & World Report says (link):
White House officials say they've got a "working premise" about terrorism and the presidential election: It's going to happen. "We assume," says a top administration official, "an attack will happen leading up to the election." And, he added, "it will happen here."

The story goes on to say, "Unclear is the political impact, though most Bushies think the nation would rally around the president."

Yeah, that sounds about right. Another terrorist attack would almost certainly be good for Bush. If only someone in the Adminsitration had influence in a country that supplied most of the terrorists in the last attack...oh, wait, they do.

My only question is: will the next terrorist attack come before or after the "surprise" capture of Osama bin Laden?
