Rupert: You say you want to inform people of what is REALLY going in. What is Really going on? I guess you need to inform me. I must be one of the ignorant ones.
I think someone needs to inform you about what is going in. You obviously don't get it. Maybe we'll have to have another 9/11 for you to get it.
Although 9/11 was extremely horrible, it could have been a lot worse. If those people REALLY hated us, they would have flown the planes into our nuclear power plants. They hate our power and our financial wealth, which in their religion, are symbols of evil. That is why they attacked our monuments instead of the nuclear power plants.
Our government is doing the best job they can in a very difficult time. There is no way that our governmnet could protect us with the laws that were in place before 9/11.
We still aren't safe Rupert. We will never be safe. Congress hasn't even really addressed our biggest threat. Our biggest threat by outside countries is terrorists coming through the Mexican/U.S. border. Do you know just how easy it would be for them to do that? However, America's biggest threat is herself. I mean, look at how divided the country is right now.
I love this country, and think that it is the best country in the world. I will fight for the American people, for you and everyone, but not for the ones in office who I believe have a hidden agenda in Iraq which involves money and power. I will stand in the face of the bully alone with only words and the best of intenetions if I have to. I will die for this cause because I believe in what is right. What is going on at Guantanamo Bay is not right. The power that those in office and law enforcement possess in this country is not right. The people have too little say. We are allowing them to take away our freedoms. Now, it doesn't seem like they have taken so many away, but I fear that it is only going to get worse in the name of "safety". This country is going downhill and fast.
Genuine Risk and DTS know of what I talk about. The cases that they and myself pointed out are hardly the only ones. Lots more have occurred like them. You just have to look for them. For instance:
In the New York Times on August 17, 2006, Bob Herbert wrote an article called The Tyranny of Fear. It might put a different perspective on the situation.
I'd like you to name a single case of someone who was arrested that the government did not have good reason to detain.
It's not the fact that they don't have a good reason to detain these people Rupert. It's the fact that they don't have any Constitutional rights, are threatened, and tortured.
The fact that the people who have served in the U.S. military are starting to speak out against the U.S. government should say something.
Just as you, I mean everything that I said in the utmost respect.
