Irrefutable proof that bush*s 'war on terror' is a sham
This disgrace of a pResident has NO PROBLEM waging a war which will cost hundreds of Billions of dollars to be paid by individual American citizens for generations to come - it fills the coffers of his corporate criminal cronies who bought the presidency.

This embarrassment of a Chicken Hawk has NO QUALMS sending hundreds of individual American soldiers to their deaths in Iraq - the war lines the pockets of his corporate criminal cronies, who own him, lock, stock and barrel.

This Orwellian, Third Reich worshipping fraud has NO MISGIVINGS about asking for even more police state powers to strip individual American Citizens of their constitutionally granted civil liberties and freedoms. There is profit to be made.

Yet the ONE MEANINGFUL piece of legislation which would actually help make individual American citizens safer from a of terror attack killing tens of thousands of innocents is being opposed by this corrupt pResident and his complicent junta - as it may impinge on the profits of his corporate masters.

IMPEACH BUSH AND HIS CRIMINAL CABAL NOW !

-------------------------

" WASHINGTON -- Nearly two years after federal officials vowed to close gaps in airline security, a 25-year-old man traveled undetected this week through three airports and across 1,500 miles hidden in a shipping container, exposing a gaping hole in security that officials said yesterday could be exploited by terrorists.

The incident, which is under investigation by the Transportation Security Administration and the FBI, has reignited a fierce debate between the Bush administration and members of Congress, who contend that the case underlines a key vulnerability: Air cargo, unlike passengers, is not electronically screened.

A bill pending in Congress, but opposed by the Bush administration would require that cargo boxes be screened if they are to be transported on a passenger planes.

The Bush administration acknowledged that cargo security needs to be improved , but maintained that technology is not yet available to electronically screen cargo containers without damaging their contents. Other screening methods would require vast increases in security spending and cause economic harm to the cargo industry, the administration argues.

"The next time your nail clippers are confiscated at the security gate, ask the TSA guards whether there is anyone carrying a crowbar or a gun or a bomb in the cargo hold," said US Representative Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Malden, who cosponsored the amendment languishing in Congress. "If they are honest, they'll tell you, `We don't know, `cause we don't check.' "

2. You're quite correct
However you're preaching to the choir, hence the lack of response, I think.
