I’m not hot on this idea.

American counterterrorism officials, citing what they call “alarming” intelligence about a possible Qaeda strike inside the United States this fall, are reviewing a proposal that could allow for the postponement of the November presidential election in the event of such an attack, NEWSWEEK has learned.

It would appear like another terrorist win if that happened. Now, I could understand it if some major vote-counting infrastructure was out of commission, but I think that overall we should press on in the face of any attack. If voting is delayed in one city or area, then arrangements should be made to perhaps give folks more time to vote there, but I don’t think the general election should be postponed if at all possible. Let’s not give terrorists the psychological win they may be trying to get.
