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.

I never said they were the only ones. Kerry/Bush are one in the same. It just so happens that Bush is the president at this time.

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.[/quote:d4d0a]
[quote:d4d0a]Although "al-Qaeda" is the name of the organization used in popular culture, the organization does not use the name to formally refer to itself. The name "al-Qaeda" was coined by the American Federal Government based on the name of a computer file of bin Laden's that listed the names of contacts he had made in Afghanistan, which talks about the organization as "the base" of the jihad.[/quote:d4d0a]

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[/quote:d4d0a]
