Re: Unanswered Questions

    Glad to see someone's got the courage to expose the so-called "War on
Terrorism" for what it is. the "War on Terror" consists of the same warfare
and civil liberties violations the terrorists want, served to them on a
silver platter. Just wish he'd had his facts right before raising this
important issue.

    Big fat hairy deal. This isn't an absolute republic, this is a polity
governed by a Constitution that provides for an electoral college.
    It's true that we'll never know who really won Florida. It might have
been Gore, but it was probably Bush.

    It's jumping the gun to conclude that it's a "concentration camp,"
although I see your point. The prisoners, who are within the Federal
Government's sovreign territory, have been denied their right to due
process, so any civilians in there have no recourse. Bush even refuses to
release a list of the prisoners' names. and they've probably been tortured
during interrogations. (Some have died during interrogations, and Rumsfeld
has hinted that sleep deprivation and rough treatment were going to be used.
Amnesty International wasn't allowed to visit the prison.)

    Nothing even remotely conclusive. Bush is using 9/11 as an excuse for
robbing his subjects of their freedom the same way Hitler used the Reichstag
Fire as an excuse for just about everything he did, but the bureaucratic
incompetence preceding 9/11 was probably a far cry from Bush knowing about
it beforehand.
