Anti-Terror Watch List Keeps Kennedy Off Planes
You may think this was funny, but this is exactly what the 9/11
Commission has recommended.
... adopt the premise -- guilty until proven innocent.
Kennedy managed to convince Tom Ridge that he wasn't such a bad guy,
... but...
The 9/11 Commission wants J. Edgar reinstated as "US Intelligence Czar"
with full and ultimate authority to build dossiers on anybody he
doesn't happen to like ... just like he did for his buddy Joe back in
the 1950s.
If you really believe that there is ANY difference between the powers
wielded by J. Edgar Hoover and those which will be wielded by the
recommended Intelligence Czar, consider this ... J. Edgar was only able
to boss around the FBI -- the NEW NCTC Czar will be able to boss around
the FBI, NSA, CIA, NSC, TSA, Homeland Security Agency and god only
knows what else. He will be responsible for the government's ENTIRE
"black budget" (the one nobody is allowed to question, and which the
Senate must simply Approve or Disapprove en-mass).
The commission caveated their recommendation with the throwaway
statement, "... any clear-cut centralization of authority to manage and
be accountable for it [NCTC] may concentrate too much power in one
place." Everyone ignores this comment as the ravings of paranoids.
John Kerry thinks that the centralization of such power in one
individual is a good idea. He has endorsed the recommendation with no
misgivings.
John Kerry has abandoned Gay Rights; Abortion Rights and Civil Rights
-- any mention of such "divisive ideas" has been stricken from the
Democratic Platform and Kerry's Campaign literature and activities. Why
should he not also abandon Civil Liberties. All that Kerry worries
about is that somebody questions the fact that he only spent 3 months
in Vietnam, got a medal for every month there, came home, threw those
medals away, and testified before Congress that all of the men he
served with in Vietnam were guilty of War Crimes.
Kerry likes the idea of an Intelligence Czar -- he thinks that he can
"control him" ... yeah, right, just like Rasputin was controllable.
You may not like Bush, but Kerry will be the end of Civil Liberties as
we know them today.
[If you don't believe me, go read what the 9/11 Commission's
recommendations actually say. It is one scary document.]
