I thought they killed the funding for this Poindexter/Ashcroft piece of facist CRAP! <http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,59365,00.html> To track domestic terrorist threats against the military, the Pentagon is creating a new database that will contain "raw, non-validated" reports of "anomalous activities" within the United States. According to a Department of Defense memorandum, the system, known as Talon, will provide a mechanism to collect and rapidly share reports "by concerned citizens and military members regarding suspicious incidents." Talon was described in a May 2 memorandum to top Pentagon brass from Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz. In the memo, Wolfowitz directed the heads of military departments and agencies to begin producing Talon reports immediately. A similar reporting system proposed by Attorney General John Ashcroft was shelved last year following opposition from privacy groups and others. Known as Operation TIPS, the Department of Justice system was intended to enlist civilian workers nationwide to report possible terrorist activity. ...

First of all, the French have never really been the most reliable ally of the United States. After the WWI, they undercut Wilson. In WWII, during the North African campaign French troops resisted and killed many American soldiers. In the middle of the Cold War, they quit NATO and didn't rejoin till after the Soviet Union had collapsed. A French Officer was convicted of passing Allied plans to Yugoslavia (remember Kosovo?) - he claims that he was following orders. re:"our allies are no longer our allies" Terrorist blew up Embassies during the Clinton Administration. This is why OBL has been on the FBI's most wanted list since 1999. re:"terrorist are blowing up US embassies all over the world..." The economy has been tanking for almost 3 years now, and it is over three years since the biggest stock bubble in 70 years of US history, popped. re:"And lets not forget our economy has been in the toilet for two years and looks ready for a big flush"

RE:You all got us into a war for reasons we can only guess at. Only because you are too stupid or because you want to see more 9/11 type of terrorist attacks. Let's not defend ourselves from would-be terrorists, yeah, that's a great idea. Remember how happy Saddam was after 9/11, were you equally gleeful? RE: Terrorists are blowing up US embassies all over the world Where exactly are you talking about? I haven't heard of any recently, though there were some during Clinton's time.

<font size=4>"Terrorists are blowing up US embassies all over the world" <font size=3> I've followed your series of posts forward regarding this blatant lie of yours (something you seem to do quite frequently). I have searched & searched & can find no evidence to support your false claim. I even narrowed it to Afghanistan & Pakistan, which you have tried to revise your lie, yet still blame the Bush Administration about some terrible thing you contrived out of thin air. There have been no major terrorist attacks on US Embassies during the Bush Administration, let alone US Embassies being <font size=4>"blown up" .... "all over the world"<font size=3>. Here are a few links that seem to contradict your lies. Please feel free to share any links you may have that support your, thus far, completely false allegations. geocities.com cdi.org news.google.com news.google.com news.google.com news.google.com news.google.com news.google.com
