I always find it laughable when progressives bemoan the fact that "neo-cons" (the first tell-tell sign of intolerance from the left, in using neo-con as a blanket slur against all conservative voters) simply cant see it "their way". . .as any conversation speaking to the actual GOOD that has been done by this OBVIOUS facist regime that is Bush Co. is slipped into one ear and out the other. . .

Politicians using "fear" to stir up the masses - SAY IT ISNT SO! What a PROFOUND epiphany and critique on modern politics. I tell you what though - I've seen more pictures of terrorist than I have of "Old People" shopping for dog food because their SSI is so low. Truly "neo-cons" are the only sect of politikos using "fear" to their advantage.

As for Bush "giving" the name of Al Qaeda to AQ - absolute bullshit as any review of de-classed FBI/CIA documents show. I would think that the fact that Richard Clarke "chastising" Condi Rice about "AQ" before 9/11 would dissuade anyone of that particular ridiculous theory. . .or not, rarely has TRUTH been any deterrent to ideology.

As for the whole "civil liberties" bent: show me. I've YET to see any American arrested and held indefinitely for expressing their First Amendment rights. The PA SPECIFICALLY protects Americans in regards to their activities covered under the FA, and CONTRARY to popular belief actions taken under the authority of the PA ARE subject to judicial review AND propable cause - which this congressman would certainly be aware of if he read the silly thing. . .cest la vie
