I can’t believe how many terrorist plots there have been against the US since 9/11. You would think that with the increase in security that has happened, and Muslim condemnation of these “Islamic” terrorists, it would stop. But wait, most of the plots against America have not been carried out or planned by Muslims! It’s been the work, most recently, of white separatists. Why aren’t these stories getting the same play as Arab and Muslim foiled plots? And why are the spectacular failures of the DOJ in prosecuting their high-profile cases not getting the same coverage? The media is complicit with the Bush administration in making this country less secure and eroding the ideals of America.

Yet another, “I hope this isn’t true” moment
From the Gadflyer are revelations that the Saudis may be working rather stridently, and perhaps illegally, to help get Bush re-elected in November. The same news source – The Gadflyer – has a different take on the same interview. I’m not sure the second interpretation is as strong, especially in light of the first posting. I haven’t seen the interview yet, but I expect it to mirror closely what we are beginning to hear in the 9/11 commission hearings – consistent with view 2, but with great nuggets that article 1 gives us.
A Letter from Saudi Arabia
Passed on from a friend from a friend. I can assure that the person is writing from Saudi Arabia. Dear Friends, As I am sitting in front of my home computer, an intense pounding is trying to break through my forehead. I am wondering how quickly the Tylenol will kick in. I have been up this morning since 5:30 AM, which any of you who know me well will be surprised to hear. I was awakened this morning by a telephone call from the Booz Allen senior employee in Riyadh who works on the Saudi Navy Project and lives on…

I don’t know what spectacular failures you’re referring that haven’t gotten media play. The Husayn case in Idaho? The one acquittal in Virginia paintball case? The deportion of Hamdi? All of these stories have had widespread coverage. In fact, I’d say the ACLU-spun media is on the lookout for any story that supports the left’s view that the ‘war on terrorism’ is a failure. My own view is that the war on terrorism is a foolish tagline. Our mistake is to treat it as legal problem that we can indict and subpoena our way in it.
If you’re a bit more specific about which cases, I’d be happy to take up the DOJ’s case.
I felt that the conviction in Virginia was ridiculous, I don’t know how playing paintball wars could possibly make you a terrorist. Its like arresting American tourists wearing I Love America t-shirts because some crackpot might think that they’re spies eyeing out some sort of invasion. The whole terror watch thing is only to make Americans feel unsafe and scared. These are the right ingredients needed to pass such bills like The Patriot Act, and many others that are being concieved as speak. I love democracy, but I fear that the west has lost the true notion of it. And its only being used to gain power and control, just like Islamist radicals using Islam as a form of control to make people hurt others.
