Terminating Civil rights.

[Guest guest]

As a bleeding heart liberal, news like this bothers me, because they've

proven that each and everyone of them are terrorists, right?

 

I suppose my attitude should be, " so what if a few innocent people get

stepped on, hurt, tossed around like so much garbage, as long as it's for

the greater good " .

 

Once again, people are going to misunderstand, so I'll be a little more

clear. I couldn't give a rats ass for Bin Laden, or any other terrorist, the

more that are caught and dealth with, the better.

 

What I DO worry about are all these little steps that can gradually chip

away at our constitution until there is nothing LEFT of the " United States " .

 

You see, according to Bush, and all his people, this may take time, but

there WILL be an end. Does that mean all these newly granted powers will

end? Will the FBI and the CIA be put back on a leash? I highly doubt it. And

just how far are these powers going to be extended in the name of " national

security " ?

 

As for Bush (Yes, I can see you stiffen and take a big breath, ready to jump

all over me), I will admit he's managed to appear more credible than I gave

him credit for(yes that's a backhanded compliment), and considering the cow

pat that has landed in his lap, he's done shockingly well, but...

 

As far as THIS chick is concerned, the jury is still out. I want to see what

happens in the next few months before I make any final opinions about his

performance.

 

Sure wish Colin Powell could be more of a presence. Now THERE's someone with

credibility.

 

Cheers!

I'm wth you Kathleen! I didn't like him, don't like him, and won't like

him. I agree that so far he's doing well with this whole terrorism thing,

but there's a lot more to running this country than just this war. I

didn't like the things he was doing before 9/11; and while I'm supporting

him fully in the war on terrorism, I haven't yet found a reason to vote for

him if he runs again.

 

This whole civil rights thing is SUCH a gray area. Yes we need to clamp

down right now, but when this is over, will things loosen up? If so, how

much? How much *should* we loosen up? Part of the reason we got hit so

easily on 9/11 is because our country is so open and our intelligence

services had been put on a leash. There are no easy answers. We don't want

to give up our civil rights, but we need to tighten up in some areas for

the nation's safety. So who draws the line? And where is it drawn?

 

My brain hurts. :-)
