Terror war a bust (Arrest Stats Inflated)

[brooklynite]

Federal authorities' strategy of arresting terror suspects on any charge possible has proved effective in thwarting attacks, but too often prosecutors have inflated the importance of the busts, a new study says.

"The strategy of disruption has worked, but they hyped these cases to be more than what they seemed," said Karen Greenberg, author of the study by New York University's Center of Law and Security.

"It leaves their record of prosecuting the war on terror unconvincing," she said yesterday.

Of 510 cases since the Sept. 11 attacks that the government said were terrorism-related, only 30% of the defendants were actually prosecuted on a terrorism charge, the NYU study found. Most of the others faced charges such as fraud, racketeering or conspiracy.

1. There has been a terror war for 100 years

For 100 years in western nations has there been a terror war, from russia, to germany,
to the USA, and always the big totalitarian thug is the one doing most of the terrorism.
With such a pretentious war designed like a formula to paralyze public initiative, to
paralyze individualism so we all take refuge in feudalism, hiding beneath the big bad
nuclear umbrella from a nonexistant rain, are we all still falling for it?

The number of people who peek behind the curtain and see for themselves who is at the controls continues to grow by the day. Look at the membership on this site and how it is growing.
