Grim Fairy Tale–Terrorist School Bus Drivers?

Some stories just don't call for very much, if any, analysis to completely discount, especially when the subject matter involves terrorists and phony 'terror" alerts from the bush maladministration designed specifically to stoke the fears of the American public.

The latest warning to ooze out of the primordial swamp called the GWOT, from the FBI, apparently now employed to put out propaganda in support of bush, is this warning found in Yahoo News. The first two sentences negate any need to read the rest of the article:

Suspected members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday, in a cautionary bulletin to police. An FBI spokesman said,"Parents and children have nothing to fear."

Now why in the world would the FBI report suspected terrorists becoming schoolbus drivers and then in the very next sentence state categorically that, ""Parents and children have nothing to fear."?

For what purpose is such a report made? Just to frighten parents and school children? Without cause? Why?

How and why have we Americans turned into a group of people so scared of their own shadows that a report like this is even considered for publication?

I have said this before, but it bears repeating: All the cowards out there afraid of everything and waiting for the bush/cheney maladministration to save you and the world while you cower under the bed, I have it from reliable sources that the collecting, sorting by size, shape, and color and actually naming all those dust bunnies found there can be an absolutely fascinating hobby.
