It's got to get worse...people are still too apathetic.

You tell them their house is on fire and they say, "but Seinfeld reruns are on...I can't leave right Now." and they look at you like your the stupid one.

In the same week the UK Law Lords, (equivalent to the US Supreme Courts), gave their verdict on UK anti-terroism laws following an appeal by terroist suspects held indefinately. Many of these laws were rushed through hurriedly in the wake of 9/11.


Giving his opinion, Lord Hoffman, said: "The real threat to the life of the nation...comes not from terrorism but from laws such as these".

Useless old duffers with right wing views - I think not. No wonder our centre-left Tony Blair government want to do away with them.

[Scholar_Warrior]

this is beyond right wing. it is closer to nazi-ism. Hitler started in a way not dis-similar to what we are living through now!


wake up people! the enemy is among us!

President Bush on Friday signed into law the largest overhaul of U.S. intelligence gathering in 50 years, hoping to improve the spy network that failed to prevent the Sept. 11 attacks.

The new structure was designed to help the nation’s 15 intelligence agencies work together to protect the country from attacks like the ones that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.

The Sept. 11 Commission, in its July report (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5488276/), said disharmony among the intelligence agencies contributed to the inability of government officials to prevent the attacks. The government failed to recognize the danger posed by al-Qaida and was ill-prepared to respond to the terrorist threat, the report concluded.

Commission members and families of attack victims lobbied persistently for the legislation through the summer political conventions, the election and a postelection lame duck session of Congress. The bill was threatened over disagreements between the White House and key House Republicans about immigration issues and how the new national intelligence director would work with the nation’s military.






This paragragh is the only thing that may be a problem, just like the Patriot act.
The new law includes a host of anti-terrorism provisions, such as letting officials wiretap “lone wolf” terrorists and improving airline baggage screening procedures. It increases the number of full-time border patrol agents by 2,000 per year for five years and imposes new federal standards on information that driver’s licenses must contain.

i saw some things that made me really interested in reading it...it was about the war in middle east and it predicted it would be 5 years then it would go into wwIII

[Scholar_Warrior]

it may be that WW III is already started!

[mariecstasy]
