Dear BuzzFlash,
A few months after 9-11, a few of us at DemocraticUnderground.com began to notice a correlation between Bush's polling numbers and Terror Alerts/Warnings. A drop in Bush's polling numbers and Terror Alert stories begin to appear in the media within a week.
As of Jan 2003, I began to pay more attention to this "pattern". I have tracked these on my website: [LINK], they can be found specifically on this page [LINK].
Below is a brief listing of Polling stories, and the related Terror Alert:
