So today, the alleged attack on Fort Dix was thwarted. "Alleged" because the administration has cried wolf so many times that it is hard to know when they are lying and when they are not. But, let's assume that they are telling the truth - that an attack was in fact planned and susequently stopped. From what I've read about the way that the plot was discovered, it was thru good old intelligence work. You know, the pussy stuff that the Bush crew says is for whiny liberals. The FBI got a tip and worked thru the various leads that resulted in the bust. None of the "effective" tactics that the Bush crowd wants to use were instrumental - you know; torture, illegal wiretaps, stomping on people's rights by invoking Patriot Act provisions.

[b]And so much, again, for the bullshit political slogan about fighting them over there so we dont have to fight them over here. We are fighting them in both places.[/b]

That is not bullshit. It just reinforces the fact that we must fight them everywhere. :ordr:
