Reporter Christopher Allbritton, posting early in the morning: “So far, not as much violence as everybody feared. The question is why? Is the insurgency taking a pass on this one? (It’s possible. Our sources in the insurgency say the election will make no difference to them, so why expend a lot of energy?)” Now there’s a convincing line from the terrorists. After threatening to make the election a cataclysm, after all the bluster and press coverage in the weeks leading up to it, they wimp out and say it didn’t really matter to them anyway. Right! And commentators were wondering if the election would be legitimate? I think the terrorists are the ones with the credibility crisis.
