I don't want to start a political discussion, but if Rudy is headed towards the top of the heap, maybe it's time to get active beyond "ACLU matters" and finally force a more realistic look at what constitutes "terrorism" and what DOESN'T. As long as the "powers that be" can continue to use this as justification for ridiculous restrictions on the wrong people, then we ALL lose. :(I submit that politicians are becoming terrorists, and silly misguided policies that result in people who clearly have no reason to be lumped in with the bad guys become so simply on a basis of misguided policies. I reiterate a point I made back in September of 2001 about all this - "the terrorists have ALREADY collected any materials they may need in order to carry out an attack and no real "new construction" has occurred which would change the validity of photographs, track maps and other information which wasn't already in wide dissemination back in the middle 1990's. I further submit that there's absolutely no rational basis for any of what's going on other than political gain for a party that has nothing better to offer than FEAR. :( |
