The "terrorism gap"

Paul Freedman says it's not the morality issue but the terror issue that swung the vote for Bush and dissects the numbers he says proves it. Putting aside the real issue: it was voting fraud that swung the vote for Bush, if Freedman is right about voters being more concerned about terrorism than morality (read "sex"), then that is actually a good thing and one that can be addressed very soon if, among other things, 1) Sybil Edwards is allowed to go public with what she knows, 2) the anthrax investigation concludes, 3) the person who "outed" Valerie Plame is revealed, 4) the 9/11 Commission and investigators stop hiding things and covering up, 5) the investigation into Chalabi's affairs and both Israeli and Iranian spies in high places in Washington is pursued, and 6) the Abu Ghraib torture investigations hand over those at the very top who are responsible and reveal the rest of the evidence.

That's a lot of ifs, but we wouldn't need them all, and many of them are no doubt connected, involving the same people. Voters have been left with so many terror-related issues unresolved and stonewalled, which, in a reasonable world, should have swung the vote away from an administration that is not coming up with answers. The many denials of the administration of having anything to do with these scandals and intrigues is apparently perceived over the long haul as having gotten answers, because somehow voters have accepted the denials and not demanded the second part of the equation: so, okay, then, who is responsible? We could use a couple of honest people in high or strategic places with consciences who are willing to leak or blow a whistle. Are there any?
