Gonzales: Al Qaeda a homeland threat
Attorney general refutes recent reports of diminished risk

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has dismissed recent media reports in which some government officials said the al Qaeda threat to the United States has diminished and that the terror group is focusing mostly overseas.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/05/03/gonzales.threat/index.html


"certain Government officials"? What "media reports" in particular?
I cannot believe CNN (yes, even CNN) would publish such a blatant piece of propaganda.

6. What gets me about this...
...is that if the main tactic of international terrorism is for it's targets to live in a state of constant fear, they don't need to bother with the US anymore. We already have the Bush Administration doing it for them.

8. U.S. Corporacrats threaten lives of Americans,....
,...dying from lack of health care. U.S. Corporacrats take the stand that, if you can't pay, you die.

U.S. Corporacrats force Americans to sacrifice their lives such that Corporacrats can expand their profits and power across the globe.

U.S. Corporacrats force Americans to be slaves to debt.

BAH!!!!

9. Orwell's continuous war
Constant fear of attack, a constant ruthless enemy always lurking in the shadows, and a constant need for the state to 'protect' citizens, by restricting their freedom

Its as if the Bush administration has used Orwell's 1984 as a handbook of how to control a population of a large country with fear. Its so close to Orwell's predictions written back in 1948 its frightening.

To be free from terror you must give your freedoms to me

14. Their biggest problem is that they are getting stale. Losing credibility
will be their downfall, and they don't see it because they are getting desperate.

They need to read "The Boy who Cried Wolf."

16. Old gambit as new gambit: we are under threat from Al Qaeda here at home
Even though Sept 11 could have been stopped by the INS listening to the FBI and the FBI leadership listening to it's people, forget Bush and company and their purposeful three-monkeys routine from their illigitimate installation until Sept. 11.

Simple steps would have prevented this mess, but now we have an all-out, cooked up, fear-fest that they hope they can sustain for a time equivalent to the cold war or longer.

god, I hate these people!

17. In Malaysia they attack themselves
I have read recently in the British Guardian that the Maylasian army attack themselves and burn down villages in west papua, so they can call a security emergency and install marshall law. From this point they can do what they like to the indiginous papuans, their resources and their political dissedents

Not there yet....
