Ray, you are discovering today something the Latin Americans know since the 50's. Why do you think we have a Fidel in Cuba? Why do you think there was "Yankee Go Home!" splattered over the walls of South America back in the 60's? Apparently now, and you are discovering that, what used to be applied in foreign countries is starting being applied in the US homeland. You are going to see, when this "security" apparatus that Bush is applying to give people jobs, starts grinding in. You are going to see when military in the US starts getting police powers. The only problem, when Americans start having a taste, at home, what foreigners have had in theirs, you could not write: "Yankee go home!" Bush is applying the same thing South American dictators applied for decades: In the name of national "security" put in place draconian laws and oppress the people form within. Suit against Exxon? impossible. This is sabotaging the war on terrorism. This is old story in South America.

Logan Int'l Airport Receives Praise Ray, this is a typical news out of a Latin American dictatorship back in the 60's. (in capitals, my comments) . Logan Int'l Airport Receives Praise By JENNIFER PETER 08/05/2002 17:50:46 EST BOSTON (AP) - The new leader (LEADER? A BIT ORWELLIAN ISN'T IT?)of national aviation security applauded Logan International Airport on Monday for its aggressive response to the Sept. 11 attacks and defended the performance of his own beleaguered agency. Making his first airport visit since becoming head of the Transportation Security Administration in mid-July, retired Coast Guard Adm. James Loy called the criticism of Logan last fall "a bit unfair" and said the airport has been "on the leading edge" in pursuing security improvements. Hijackers boarded two planes at Logan on Sept. 11 and flew them into the World Trade Center towers. Acting Gov. Jane Swift, who appeared with Loy at a news conference, called his choice of Logan for his inaugural visit "a testament to the progress we've made here."
