Sen. Mark Dayton (D-Minn.) said yesterday that he was closing his Capitol Hill office because of security concerns in what appeared to be an atypical response to intelligence information that has been shared with senators about terrorist threats....NEIN, which the nowhere to be found Allah calls 'the world's most alarmist website', cites Dayton as saying: "I would not bring my two sons to the Capitol between now and the election." Many of the news sources I found also connect Dayton's decision leave DC to the revelation that as many as 25 suspected Chechen terrorists have crossed the Mexico-US border."I do so out of extreme, but necessary, precaution to protect the lives and safety of my Senate staff and my Minnesota constituents, who might otherwise visit my office in the next few weeks," Dayton said in a statement announcing the closure.
Dayton said he could not disclose the contents of what he described as a "top-secret intelligence report" presented to senators by Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.). But he added that he based his decision on a "careful review of all available documents" and decided to act on his own after Frist declined to convene a meeting of all senators to discuss the subject.
