Ah! The old “ticking bomb” scenario. Hasn’t that been played-out like…forever?
Besides which I just posted a link showing that the CIA is far from omniscient when it comes to branding “suspects.” And another showing you how the current Gov manipulates your own Constitution in order to torture so-called “suspects” – again, a group that includes just about anyone they want for any reason they want.
I can cite quite a few more if you’d like, then again, as long as you feel “safe” why care what happens to a few unlucky idiots who get tortured for no other reason than an “honest mistake”? Here’s hoping you never become said “mistake.”
So it appears that the answer to the current failure is to simply make more people fall under the category of “suspicious.”
Thus I repeat, where is this so-called Land Of The Free? A nation where its citizens and/or visitors can be arrested or placed on highly ineffective suspect lists – through illegal methods mind you – sure doesn’t sound like one.
Nah, they may need their practice. After all, McCain could still win in November: I think it’s the less likely possibility, but it’s far from impossible. And the MSM’s support for GWB will be nothing compared to their fawning over McCain.
And even if Obama or Hillary wins in November, the Dems will need a spine in order to prevent 41 GOP Senators from being the tail that wags the dog, that runs the country simply by blocking cloture on anything that doesn’t suit them.
It may be the end of the Bush Administration, but we’re still in the early rounds of a longer fight.
