And if that weren't enough, two weeks to one month before 9/11 the Germans warned us that something big was happening and it would involve hijacking planes.......nothing was done. They also gave us the names of specific people.....again nada was done. And then there was the well seasoned FBI agent in MPLS who warned that something was up, that suspicious foreign nationals were getting their pilot's licenses. She too had names and she too was ignored.

Well, this kind of thing led to the biggest re-org of the government in a long time, but it is completely irrelevant to what I was talking about.

And now its two years later and we are back to the same garbage. Now we are supposed to believe that out of 300+ sleepers not one of them is in violation of their visas or broken the speed limit or violated a gun law or has not filed their income taxes or has not behaved suspiciously or done anything that warrants bringing them in for questioning?

So you're under the impression that we know who these 300 sleepers are, and we're just waiting for some legal basis to talk to them? If that's the case, then the whole war on terror at home will be a piece of cake! I doubt that is the case though.

And frankly, to blame this lack of activity on the left is baloney since the left has been relatively quiet on those rare times when someone has been taken into custody.

I'm not even claiming there is a lack of activity. YOU are. I'm just saying that we are most likely doing all we can, and going any farther would be going down the profiling road which would get the left antsy.

You sure had to wait for the results under Clinton (embassy bombings, WTC bombing 1, USS Cole...all no real response), so I guess you used up all of your patience.

Plus when the administration screws up....like in the current foreign diplomacy disaster, these same people get very quiet.

There is obviously a difference of opinion here. I think the current admin is doing a great job with foreign policy. A stand needs to be made, and I'm proud that Bush has the rocks to do it.
