Important terror update from Australia
CNN is reporting that Australian PM John Howard just held a press conference in which he said that his government had received word of a terror threat to the country. Mr Howard gave Australians much-needed information about the threat, noting that "you will understand that there are sensitive operational matters and I cannot and will not go into further detail." Howard also told Australians that "I don't want to overstate the situation, but I don't want to understate it," and finished by arguing that "I can't go into any more detail because if I do I might weaken the capacity of authorities to respond."Ah yes, more useful information from Mr Howard that will help Australians to respond to this latest threat and that will really impact their daily lives. If all you're going to say is that you can't say anything, and that you don't want to make too much of a deal of it, but you don't want to forget about it and again, you really can't say anything, why say anything at all, really? Some common sense here would be much appreciated.
