The federal government today lowered the terror alert level from orange to yellow for five financial institutions in Washington, New York and Newark, Homeland Security Deputy Secretary James M. Loy announced.

It looks like the neocons decided they can lower the alert now that Americans in the red states (which weren't even the ones most threatened by terrorism) were scared into voting down open government, individual liberties, and a government with Constitutional checks and balances.

To comment further on this, we will turn to Benjamin Franklin:

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
