Not to get too serious, in this of all Forums, the disturbing thing is that Mr. Liddy’s mindset seems to have permeated the agencies of the federal government that deal with public safety and national security. Other wise how do you explain stuff like the legal, green card carrying Pakistani immigrant from up-state New York who was picked up for taking a landscape photo of a reservoir. When it was found out that he had guaranteed a lease and a car purchase for a couple of Pakistanis who had over stayed their visas he was listed for deportation and has been jailed for 18 months awaiting the big bird to Jakarta. Sorry no link. I suppose any Doper from Buffalo knows about this and might be able to link to it. This level of hysteria and disregard for common sense is a direct link to a White House that thought having a goofy, menacing, lose cannon like Liddy on staff was a good idea. Lieutenant colonel North was his direct descendant. It the old idea that the means is justified by the objective that seems to have become the government’s policy. Apparently we can do any thing, no matter how abhorrent and irrational, if it can be claimed, no matter how tenuously, to serve to protect the public safety. ---

So’s anyone who would deport a Canadian to India or Syria, but look how far it got them. ---

Type what you want about the man. I know one thing for sure, I for one wouldn’t dare call him a putz to his face - he’d tear my larynx from my throat with his bare hands before I could get the “tz” out. ---

I dunno about that. I read his book, and I call bullshit on his terrifying Martial Arts techniques. I could take Liddy. The problem is, I’d have to kill him, because the sneaky little bugger would probably shoot me in the back some night. ---

Gordon Liddy probably would have become Congressman Liddy in 1968. ---

What I need to know is whether there will a Liddy in a jar to help out president RoboNixon in the year 3000. 😛
