Remember that report a few days back about how terrorists were plotting to attack elementary schools around the US?

Yup, you guessed it. Like just about every other advisory that comes out of the Bush campaign's headquarters, erm... I mean, the Department of Homeland Security, it turns out to be NOT TRUE.

Turns out, not only did the guy they found the disks on NOT have any connections to terrorists, he's actually affiliated with a civic group doing planning for Iraqi schools:

The Homeland Security official said the material was associated with a specific individual in Iraq, and it could not be established that this man had any ties to terrorism. He did have a connection to civic groups doing planning for schools in Iraq, the official said. Still, the FBI is examining the materials carefully. While officials say there has been no specific threat related to the recovered material, they say they are taking the matter seriously out of an abundance of caution.

And these are the people protected with defending the homeland? God help us all...
