Perhaps. But only if the ACLU continues to dismantle the President's
authority to detain illegal combatants in this war on terror.

You mean, the government's new hobby, detaining people like these?

And, don't hand us any bull**** about the source, as you usually do.

Muslims Detained at Border Sue U.S. Homeland Security

By Michelle Garcia
Special to The Washington Post
Thursday, April 21, 2005; Page A08

NEW YORK, April 20 -- American Muslims detained at the border as they
returned from a religious conference in Toronto sued the Department of
Homeland Security on Wednesday alleging they were targets of ethnic and
religious profiling.

The five Muslims, all U.S. citizens, say customs officials detained
dozens of others from their conference in December, subjecting them to
interrogations, fingerprinting and photographing.

I have no problem with the "source" of this story...nor with actions of
the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Those 5 folks who were detained are certainly more apt to commit
terrorist attacks than an 80 year old grandmother. It's about time they
started racial profiling...especially for people who travel to
"conferences" that have suspected ties to terrorism.


Besides...questioning, fingerprinting, and photographing hardly qualify
as "detainment". So what's the big deal?


But professor, you objected to the exact same type of policies when
practiced by the USSR. Sorry. Can't have it both ways.


No I didn't. I'm all for a National Photo ID card and fingerprint and/or
retinal scans at the airport and border crossings.


Nope. You're lying. When you were younger, you went along with the
anti-communist party line, agreed with Reagan 100% about his "evil empire"
views. The totalitarian tactics were the bane of your existence. You only
claim to approve of them now because the only way you can tread water in a
debate is to bait your opponents.

As opposed to Bert, who joined the Marine Corps to fight communism, but
knew nothing about it.

Interestingly, both Bert and our latest anonymous remailer poster curse
about the same. Anyone else notice?


You are too funny. Are you going to go fishing in river that your 36' lobsta

When stripper trophy season is in full swing you are fishing for Blue Gill

Would you please stop dumping your garbage in here? You seem to post here
with a 100 different names and most of your messages are exactly the same. I
don't have time to set up all sorts of filters. Other than annoying everyone
do you have a reason for doin what you are doing? I look in here a couple of
times a week for interesting fishing or boat-fishing stuff, and what I find
are hundreds of meaningless posts from you full of cuss words and insults.

Can't you stop this bad behavior?

You only claim to approve of them now because the only way you can tread
water in a debate is to bait your opponents.


WTF are you talking about?


I'll simplify this. You say you believe in things like ID cards, etc., and
that you were OK with similar obscenities when practiced in the USSR and its
Eastern European satellite countries. You're lying to yourself when you make
that statement. Why? Because you haven't thoroughly thought out all the
ramifications of these practices, many of which are the reason so many fled
from those countries.

You will now say that people left those countries because they wanted to
live in a free enterprise system, but that's hardly the whole story and you
know it.

So, think about this: You're anchored somewhere quiet on your boat, just you
and the girlfriend, or maybe even your wife. You're about to administer a
beef injection down in the cabin when a boat pulls up and announces on its
loudspeaker "Come out of the cabin with your ID cards. You have 30 seconds."
You can't get dressed quick enough, so you are boarded, and both of you are
dragged, half naked, out of the cabin. The cabin is tossed by the
"authorities" you say you believe in. Meanwhile, your ID card is in your
pocket, but they toss the entire cabin anyway.

They search your girlfriend's purse and find she's carrying a handgun. They
see her permit. In Florida, you are not required to notify an officer that
you're carrying, but these guys are Feds, so because they think their ****
don't stink, they believe the law applies only to state or local cops. They
tell your girlfriend that because she forgot to inform them of the gun,
they're confiscating it, and her too. "The president's gonna be down this
way for a fund raiser next week. What did you have in mind with the gun,
lady?"

This is potentially what you are agreeing with. And if you think there
aren't enough antisocial types who'd gladly sign up, put on a uniform, and
do things like this to innocent citizens under the guise of "national
security", think again. You've already seen it done.

It's far worse than your scenario, Doug. If there is a federal ID card,
and you are required to show it for various reasons, there also will be
various nefarious reasons why the authorities will take the card from you,
and you'll be unable to travel or to do any of the other things that
require the card.


The legislation can be written to avoid such a thing from happening. It's
an *IDENTIFICATION* card, for crying out loud.

It makes processing the bad guys a whole lot easier.

Sorry, but I wouldn't trust the thugs in the Bush administration to

I can see your point. If such a measure went through the House and Senate
in 1993 or 1994, when the Dems controlled the White House and Congress, I'd
have been very afraid too.

Muslims Detained at Border Sue U.S. Homeland Security

By Michelle Garcia
Special to The Washington Post
Thursday, April 21, 2005; Page A08

NEW YORK, April 20 -- American Muslims detained at the border as
they returned from a religious conference in Toronto sued the
Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday alleging they were
targets of ethnic and religious profiling.

The five Muslims, all U.S. citizens, say customs officials detained
dozens of others from their conference in December, subjecting them
to interrogations, fingerprinting and photographing.

I have no problem with the "source" of this story...nor with actions
of the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Those 5 folks who were detained are certainly more apt to commit
terrorist attacks than an 80 year old grandmother. It's about time
they started racial profiling...especially for people who travel to
"conferences" that have suspected ties to terrorism.


Besides...questioning, fingerprinting, and photographing hardly
qualify as "detainment". So what's the big deal?

But professor, you objected to the exact same type of policies when
practiced by the USSR. Sorry. Can't have it both ways.

No I didn't. I'm all for a National Photo ID card and fingerprint
and/or retinal scans at the airport and border crossings.


Nope. You're lying. When you were younger, you went along with the
anti-communist party line, agreed with Reagan 100% about his "evil
empire" views. The totalitarian tactics were the bane of your
existence. You only claim to approve of them now because the only way
you can tread water in a debate is to bait your opponents.

WTF are you talking about?


I'll simplify this. You say you believe in things like ID cards, etc.,
and that you were OK with similar obscenities when practiced in the USSR
and its Eastern European satellite countries. You're lying to yourself
when you make that statement. Why? Because you haven't thoroughly
thought out all the ramifications of these practices, many of which are
the reason so many fled from those countries.

You will now say that people left those countries because they wanted to
live in a free enterprise system, but that's hardly the whole story and
you know it.

So, think about this: You're anchored somewhere quiet on your boat, just
you and the girlfriend, or maybe even your wife. You're about to
administer a beef injection down in the cabin when a boat pulls up and
announces on its loudspeaker "Come out of the cabin with your ID cards.
You have 30 seconds." You can't get dressed quick enough, so you are
boarded, and both of you are dragged, half naked, out of the cabin. The
cabin is tossed by the "authorities" you say you believe in. Meanwhile,
your ID card is in your pocket, but they toss the entire cabin anyway.

They search your girlfriend's purse and find she's carrying a handgun.
They see her permit. In Florida, you are not required to notify an
officer that you're carrying, but these guys are Feds, so because they
think their **** don't stink, they believe the law applies only to state
or local cops. They tell your girlfriend that because she forgot to
inform them of the gun, they're confiscating it, and her too. "The
president's gonna be down this way for a fund raiser next week. What did
you have in mind with the gun, lady?"

This is potentially what you are agreeing with. And if you think there
aren't enough antisocial types who'd gladly sign up, put on a uniform,
and do things like this to innocent citizens under the guise of
"national security", think again. You've already seen it done.




It's far worse than your scenario, Doug. If there is a federal ID card,
and you are required to show it for various reasons, there also will be
various nefarious reasons why the authorities will take the card from
you, and you'll be unable to travel or to do any of the other things that
require the card.


The legislation can be written to avoid such a thing from happening. It's
an *IDENTIFICATION* card, for crying out loud.

It makes processing the bad guys a whole lot easier.



The law indirectly suggests that cops not butt **** a suspect with a
broomstick, or shoot a suspect 47 times before figuring out he's unarmed.
And yet, both of these things have happened in recent years. So much for
legislation.

Striped bass are not among my favorite fish, Bertie. They never have been.
Trolling for them ain't much fun. Dragging huge artificial baits or
umbrella rigs in order to snag a fish that isn't known as much of a

trolling and trying to snag the same fish ain't much fun. When I fish in

Why is this of concern to you, Bertie? You don't boat, you don't fish. You

Terrorist threats on U.S. at lowest level since 9/11
Officials think focus has turned to troops in Iraq
Washington Post

WASHINGTON - Reports of credible terrorist threats against the United

States
are at their lowest level since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according

to
U.S. intelligence officials and federal and state law enforcement
authorities.

The intelligence community's daily threat assessment, developed after the
terrorist attacks to keep policymakers informed, lists, on average, 25 to

50
percent fewer threats against domestic targets than it typically did

during
the past two years, said one senior counterterrorism official.

Many counterterrorism officials think al-Qaida and like-minded groups are
focusing on Americans deployed in Iraq, where they operate with relative
impunity, and on Europe.

Though some are expressing caution and even skepticism, interviews last

week
with 25 current or recently retired officials also cited progress in
counterterrorism operations abroad and a more experienced

homeland-security
apparatus for a general feeling that it is more difficult for terrorists

to
operate undetected. The officials represent federal intelligence and law
enforcement agencies, state and local homeland-security departments and

the
private sector.

"We are breathing easier," said U.S. Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer,
whose officers guard one of al-Qaida's expressed targets and who is
regularly briefed by the FBI and CIA. "The imminence of a threat seems to
have diminished. We're just not as worried as we were a year ago, but we
certainly are as vigilant."

"I agree," said John Brennan, acting director of the National
Counterterrorism Center, told of Gainer's assessment. "Progress has been
made."

Brennan also said the initial post-Sept. 11 belief that there were large
numbers of sleeper cells in the United States turned out to be "a lot of
hyperbole." Some thought "there was a terrorist under every rock."

But some intelligence analysts caution that the drop-off in
terrorist-related planning, communication and movement could be a tactical
pause.

Brennan and others fear most what they are not hearing or seeing,

especially
the possibility that al-Qaida has acquired chemical or biological weapons
and adapted in ways that have evaded detection. Analysts also say a flood

of
new terrorists motivated by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq may try to

travel
here and reverse the relative calm of today's environment.

Since Bush instituted them the country has gone down the tubes. Drivers
Licenses and passports reek of Nazi suppression.



That's why they call you Dr. Dr.




If you don't see a difference between a national ID card you have to
produce internally in the United States and a drivers license or passport,
then you deserve to live in a fascist state.

By the way, I hope you are wearing protection. You actually "opened" a
"Smitherscum" message. Better put your fingers in the sterile solution
before you pout them into some poor patient's mouth. Gloves aren't enough.

It's soooo easy to filter Smitherscum.

Temporary sudden right turn:

Apropos of nothing, the government allows almost half of commercial planes
to continue operating with flammable insulation in the "attic" above the
headliner, even though the flight that crashed a few years back off
Newfoundland is known to have crashed due to smoke in the cockpit.

This is also a conspiracy, of the lobbyist kind.

I'm not posting links to "conspiracy theory websites". I'm quoting a former
Clinton adviser on the Middle East, and a former CIA director.

Nowhere have I read a US government official publically go on record to
suggest that a Navy missile downed TWA 800, nor that a plane never hit the
Pentagon.

As to which incident? Oklahoma City or Flight 800? I'll admit that with

The planning for that attack was under way for several years prior to
Bush taking office. Bush had the misfortune of having to rely on
information gathered by Clinton-appointees.

Notice how there hasn't been an attack since Bush went on the offensive
with *his* people in the important positions?


You are STILL trying to pin 9-11 on Clinton?

Bush was at the helm on 9-11, and had been at the helm for eight months.
He had warnings he decided to ignore. He spent the summer diddling on his
ranch. I blame Bush for being asleep on watch on 9-11. History will, too.

Your oft-repeated comment about "no attacks" is nonsense. The terrorists
will attack on their schedule, not ours.

Speaking of which:

Did Hillary Clinton win her Senate seat through fraud?

David Rosen, former National Finance Director of Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate
campaign, is under a four-count federal indictment charging that he "knowingly
and willfully caused to be made materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent
statements" to the Federal Election Commission regarding more than $1 million in
campaign contributions. Each of the four felony counts carries a possible
penalty of five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

This is the most massive fraud ever charged against a political campaign by the
U.S. Government.

The criminal charges against Rosen stem from the largest fundraiser on behalf of
Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign. The August 12, 2000 Hollywood Gala Salute to
President Clinton featured performances by Cher, Diana Ross, Toni Braxton, Patti
LaBelle, Melissa Etheridge, Sugar Ray and Michael Bolton. The event cost
organizer Peter Paul more than $1.2 million to host, and raised $1 million in
"hard money" contributions. By falsely reporting those costs as $401,419, the
Clinton campaign avoided paying at least $800,000 in hard money -- not including
the fair market value of the performances -- during the crucial final weeks
before the election. If Paul's contribution had been reported fully as required
by law, it could have bankrupted the campaign.

Peter Paul's extensive evidence, which we will organize and present on this
site, shows clearly that Hillary Clinton knew of the actions taken by her
finance director, and that she orchestrated those actions and others in
violation of federal campaign statutes and regulations.

Mr. Paul is being represented in his ongoing civil suit against the Clintons by
the U.S. Justice Foundation, which has formed the Hillary Clinton Accountability
Project to put the facts of the most massive and least reported campaign finance
scandal in history before the American people.

Hidden explosives tie FBI to OKC destruction?

Posted: April 6, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern

On Thursday afternoon, March 31, within hours of the death of Terry Schiavo,
the FBI approached an entirely surprised Georgia Rucker in the forgotten
little town of Herington, Kan., an hour or so southwest of Topeka.

The agents asked Rucker for the keys to a cracker box of a house she was
trying to sell on South Second Street. They told her they were searching for
possible explosives. Naturally, she obliged. Unconcerned by what they might
find, Rucker went and had her hair done while she waited for them to finish.
"I didn't think it was possible for there to be anything there," she told a
reporter from the Daily Union in nearby Junction City.

Rucker was wrong. The FBI soon called in the Topeka bomb squad, evacuated
the immediate neighborhood, and cordoned off a three-block area. They worked
through the night and into the next day. As Rucker learned, this is the
house in which Terry Nichols lived at the time of the Oklahoma City bombing.

Although the FBI on the scene would not confirm that its agents found
anything, ABC News and others were told by Oklahoma City's FBI office that
explosive devices had indeed been found. The news spin, at least what little
surfaced in a period of predictable news frenzy, was that the FBI was
embarrassed for not having found this old material 10 years prior.

As has happened all too often in the past, however, seeming FBI incompetence
provides a cover for a much more troubling story. The story, as high-level
forensic economist Stephen Dresch relates it, revolves around an
extraordinary figure, Gregory Scarpa Jr., a convicted mobster now serving
hard time at the federal super max in Florence, Colo.

Readers may remember Scarpa from multiple Emmy-winner Peter Lance's book,
"Cover-Up." As Lance relates, Scarpa cooperated with the Justice Department
in the summer of 1996 by scheming to rout the calls of jailmate Ramzi Yousef
through to the FBI. Unfortunately for the United States, Yousef often used
two obscure languages that the FBI could not translate quickly enough, if at
all.

[A letter I received two weeks ago from a purported NSA insider identified
the key language as Baluchi, Yousef's native tongue. Again, reportedly,
Yousef's final transmission on the subject translated as follows, "What had
to be done has been done, TWA 800 (last two words unintelligible)."]

What is undeniable is that the day after TWA Flight 800 blew up off the
coast of Long Island, Yousef asked for a mistrial, citing the now
prejudicial environment post-explosion. He was denied. By allowing him to
communicate overseas, however, the Justice Department may well have
unwittingly assisted Yousef in his effort to destroy that ill-fated plane.

No one doubts that his allies were capable of it. Indeed, Yousef had bombed
a plane in the Philippines, killing a passenger and almost blowing the plane
out of the air. He also served as the mastermind of the first World Trade
Center bombing and was convicted for the same. His uncle, Khalid Shiekh
Muhammad, with whom he communicated from his New York jail, was the
mastermind of 9-11.

Possibly to silence him, the Justice Department cut Scarpa no slack for his
help with Yousef and deep-sixed him in Colorado for 40 years, a severe
sentence for a non-lethal RICO charge. On March 1, 2005, Scarpa called
Dresch, who was consulting with an attorney on a related case. Scarpa
informed Dresch that an unnamed inmate had made him aware of a cache of
explosives to be used in an act of domestic terrorism, possibly on the 10th
anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, April 19.

Dresch surmised, correctly as it turned out, that the inmate was Terry
Nichols, the convicted Oklahoma City bomber, and he immediately contacted
the FBI by both phone and fax, as well as Massachusetts Congressman William
Delahunt with whom Dresch had been working on an FBI-related matter. The FBI
visited Scarpa at the prison on March 3, two days later. Having been burned
once, this time Scarpa insisted on a written cooperation agreement before he
talked.

The following day, an FBI polygraph expert flew in from D.C. and
administered what Dresch's own expert calls an "absurdly flawed
examination." The FBI expert claimed that Scarpa was lying. Scarpa
immediately called Dresch's associate and insisted that she and Dresch visit
him.

It should be noted that the FBI's current chief counsel, Valerie Caproni,
was the Clinton Justice official who oversaw Scarpa's work with Yousef. To
thicken the plot, it was also Caproni who illegally ordered the FBI to take
the TWA Flight 800 investigation away from the National Transportation
Safety Board and who arranged the prosecution of James and Elizabeth Sanders
for James' reporting on the TWA Flight 800 investigation. The absurdly
compromised Caproni has any number of reasons for keeping Scarpa out of the
light.

On March 10, Dresch and his associate met with Scarpa for seven hours. He
gave them a letter from Nichols that provided a highly detailed description
of the cached bomb making material - nitromethane, blasting caps, kine-pak,
etc. Nichols had told Scarpa that he hid this second cache 10 years ago to
be used as a follow up to the Oklahoma City blast.

Nichols' apparent goal in sharing this information was to bust the man who
allegedly supplied the material, a reported FBI informant named Roger Moore.
Nichols also wanted to expose the FBI's role in supplying Moore the
material, presumably in a sting gone awry. Nichols was certain that Moore's
fingerprints would be on the material.

No longer trusting the FBI, Dresch worked through a contact, who had
high-level Homeland Security connections. Together, they improvised an
arrangement for Scarpa, and on March 11, Dresch laid out the offer. Scarpa
relented and provided Dresch with the address of the house and detailed
descriptions of the location of the cache within it.

Dresch went to Herington the following day and found the house to be vacant
and for sale. His well-connected contact had not followed through, however,
on retrieving the material and giving Scarpa credit where due. Only later
did the contact claim that his people were surveilling the site waiting for
someone to retrieve the material. It would take nearly three more weeks, the
day of Schiavo's death, for the FBI to go in.

On Saturday, I called Jeff Lanza, the FBI public affairs officer on the
scene, whom I have met on at least a few occasions. I left a message, asking
him to confirm whether the Scarpa information led to the activity at
Nichols' former home. His office paged him. Two days later he has yet to get
back to me.

Lanza, however, made a point of telling the Junction City paper, as
paraphrased, "that the FBI did not receive a tip leading them to search ...
but rather had received the information during an investigation." But either
Lanza or Gary Johnson of the FBI's Oklahoma City office is not on message.
"Johnson," writes ABC News, "said the discovery was prompted by a recent
tip."

In any case, when I visited the house on Saturday morning, there were
neither media, nor police, anywhere to be seen. The Scarpa story is one that
many people don't want told - Valerie Caproni, chief among them. And from
the looks of things, they may be succeeding.

That story came out April 6th. Make sure you note the name "Roger
Moore"...because his name just made the mainstream news today:
