Bush highlights foiled 2002 plot

Bush talked about how successful we were in stopping a planned terrorist action in 2002. Target - Los Angeles. He told the U.S. public - but I'm unclear whether LA ever heard about this -even in 2002.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Thursday he was blindsided by Bush’s announcement and described communication with the White House as “nonexistent.”

"Nonexistent"- referring to 2002 or in regard to this being made public? Was this threat real, just in the planning stages, or created in the minds of those trying to justify wiretaps?

Inquiring minds want to know. I hope the Senate wants to know too.
