News:
After a brief surge following the Sept. 11 attacks, government lawyers have declined to prosecute 2 out of every 3 terrorism-related cases brought to them by the FBI since 2001, according to a new study. This year the rate is even higher, with 91% of cases referred by law enforcement being dropped, with the cause most frequently cited as insufficient evidence or a lack of criminal intent on the part of the accused.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776

Heavily armed I am a mixture of Pawnee, Chickasaw and Irish, and I am only legal in three states. My grandmom calls me her reverse apple. I may appear white but I am all red on the inside, but the federal goverment says that I can only claim one tribe so I claim Pawnee.
One of the ways that a Pawnee warrior fought was to drive a stake into the ground and leash himself to the stake, and fight form there.

They're just not HERE. People keep thinking of terrorists like it's some organized military force. No. By the strictest of definitions, there are no terrorists loose in the US. You only become a terrorist AFTER you commit an act of terror. Terror is not a nationality, it is a guerilla combat tactic. You can't wage war against a word.
If there actually were any terrorists active in the US over the past 5 years the streets of America would be utter chaos. John Malvo and John mohammad proved in the "DC Snipers" case how stupid and easy it is. Two guys, one rifle, one old car. Just drive around and kill people at random. Took the cops a month to catch them, only because Muhammad got greedy and started talking to the cops by phone and written notes. If he was a true terrorist he would have kept to himself and simply done what he was doing, and would likely be free to this day. Anyone who thinks terrorists are here and is worried about that is a child.

do you think were brought before prosecutors using warrantless wiretapping?
How many of these warrantless wiretappings do you think a FISA judge would have approved had bush cared enough to respect our constitution and our laws?
How much confidence and trust do you have in the claim that warrantless wiretaps are done only on potential terrorists?

By RobespierreSeptember 5, 2006 - 12:14amWhat Valerie Plame Really Did at the CIA
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20060918/corn
[snip]
Valerie Wilson was no analyst or paper-pusher. She was an operations officer working on a top priority of the Bush Administration. Armitage, Rove and Libby had revealed information about a CIA officer who had searched for proof of the President's case. In doing so, they harmed her career and put at risk operations she had worked on and foreign agents and sources she had handled.
Another issue was whether Valerie Wilson had sent her husband to Niger to check out an intelligence report that Iraq had sought uranium there. Hubris contains new information undermining the charge that she arranged this trip. In an interview with the authors, Douglas Rohn, a State Department officer who wrote a crucial memo related to the trip, acknowledges he may have inadvertently created a misimpression that her involvement was more significant than it had been.

By HobbitGoddessSeptember 5, 2006 - 6:53pmI believe all this info
is coming to light due to the civil suit filed by Wilson's.
This is why I stand against impeachment.
I do not want this bastages to get off on a Presidential Pardon or six pack of signing statements. Go CIVIL.
They are changing the War Crimes Laws as we speak.
I guess if you can't obey the law, you use your power to make the law fit your crime.
If you Neo-con dunce head mofo's can't see it by now, won't nothing get thru.
But these thugs are raping you too. You just don't feel it as much yet.
The high gas prices are an inconvienience to you, and did you notice...OPEC is continuing to process more oil than the demand, those new reserves, Possibly owned (Zapata oil) By Poppy Bush and the Hitler Appeasers, are near CUBA.

In 1953, Bush got money from Brown Brothers Harriman and, with partners Hugh and Bill Liedtke, formed Zapata Petroleum. By the late 1950s they were millionaires. Bush bought subsidiary Zapata Off-Shore from his partners and went into business on his own in 1954. By 1958, the new company was drilling on the Cay Sal Bank in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico. These islands had been leased to Nixon supporter and CIA contractor Howard Hughes the previous year and were later used as a base for CIA raids on Cuba. The CIA was using companies like Zapata to stage and supply secret missions attacking Fidel Castro’s Cuban government in advance of the Bay of Pigs invasion. The CIA’s codename for that invasion was “Operation Zapata.

Charges Dropped in Mich. Cell Phone Case
09.05.2006, 05:45 PM
A federal judge threw out conspiracy and money laundering charges Tuesday against three Texas men who originally were accused of planning terrorism, saying there wasn't enough evidence to bring them to trial.
U.S. District Court Magistrate Charles Binder released Louai Othman, 23, his brother Adham Othman, 21, and their cousin Maruan Muhareb, 18, all of Mesquite, Texas, after a preliminary hearing.
The three were arrested Aug. 11 after buying large numbers of prepaid cell phones at a Wal-Mart store in rural Caro, about 80 miles north of Detroit. Michigan charges against the men were thrown out last month.
"I guess their ordeal is done," said defense lawyer Abed Ayoub of Dearborn, who represents the three men.
Tuscola County authorities said they were alarmed by the hundreds of cell phones they said were found in the men's van and by images of the Mackinac Bridge on their digital camera.
But the FBI and state police later said there was no imminent threat to the 5-mile-long span linking Michigan's two peninsulas and no information linking the Othmans and Muhareb to known terrorist groups.
The federal complaint said the men defrauded consumers, TracFone Wireless Inc. and Nokia Corp. by buying the prepaid phones and removing TracFone's proprietary software, making it possible to use the handsets with any cellular provider. But lawyers for the men have said the three, who are Palestinian-American, were victims of ethnic profiling.
A message seeking comment was left with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit.
