The War on American Civil Society (aka War on Terror) Continued…
Déjà vu! There is something eerily reminiscent about being greeted by boys in green army uniforms before boarding a train. Well, at least they got rid of the M-16 submachine guns. Now, if we can just get rid of the soldiers themselves, we’ll be set. They have mysteriously disappeared out of New York City subways though, at least until the rainbow “terror alert” goes up a notch again.
While some small victories have come since that faithful day on September 11, the bad news seems to greatly outweigh the good…
Déjà vu! There is something eerily reminiscent about being greeted by boys in green army uniforms before boarding a train. Well, at least they got rid of the M-16 submachine guns. Now, if we can just get rid of the soldiers themselves, we’ll be set. They have mysteriously disappeared out of New York City subways though, at least until the rainbow “terror alert” goes up a notch again.
While some small victories have come since that faithful day on September 11, the bad news seems to greatly outweigh the good. First the good news – the Total Information Awareness program designed to spy on Americans has been renamed to Terrorist Information Awareness program. Apparently that didn’t fly well with those strange people at the ACLU and after much noise, some folks seated high-up in the twilight zone finally got the idea, and the program funding was withdrawn.
It seems that we’re going full-steam ahead with the kangaroo courts at Guatanamo Bay. One can’t help but wonder what it is that the Afghani arrestees know that the American administration would want to hide so bad as to want to set up a whole new system of secret “courts” to dispense “justice” upon those “evildoers”. Mmmph. The truth can be delayed, but it cannot be withheld indefinitely – the American people will get to the truth eventually, and when we do, heads shall fly.
Speaking of flying heads, there are certainly some folks walking around pretty freaked out about their future after putting us on the insane clash in Iraq. Paul Wolfowitz, one of the masterminds behind our rush to war in Iraq, got a taste of his own medicine when he almost got nailed after the Iraqis attacked a hotel where he was staying. Too bad it didn’t get the poor bastard. After having murdered at least 15,000 Iraqis and several hundred American soldiers, this guy surely deserves whatever comes his way. Regardless, hopefully it was a pretty good lesson about his failed adventure in Iraq.
