On the election:
One thing consistant about al-Qaida is they like to surprise.
It seem to me that floating a 'contingency plan' helps take the wind out of any al-Qaida plans to disrupt, ala Spain. [/B]

Far as I can tell from my research via Google the word disrupt doesn't accurately portray what happened in Spain. The event certainly influenced how people voted but it didn't disrupt any elections. In fact - it more likely got a higher voter turnout.
Granted that was their goal - over throw the government there (most likely - no direct evidence has been uncovered to explore the motives precisely). Seriously, a plan of action in case of mass disaster is a great idea and in retrospect to my previous post I am not sure I can define what should or shouldn't stop the election from occurring on the day it is supposed to. So once you decided it's postponed when is it then held? The constitution isn't clear about much accept that the sitting president must be out of office by Jan 20.
