It seems to me that giving the Bush admin special powers to postpone the election that could defeat them is *already* allowing terrorism to disrupt the democratic process.
I have to agree. The BBC article mentions a relevant quotation from President Lincoln:
"The election is a necessity," Lincoln said. "We cannot have a free government without elections; and if the rebellion could force us to forgo, or postpone, a national election, it might fairly claim to have already conquered us."
