The authorities in Brazil do as well. And I am not at all keen on this idea that Alexander signed off on of using raw intelligence data for 'swapsies' with foreign governments that have a habit of murdering their political opponents (and using a British passport to cover their tracks to boot!). You have a very parochial view of the situation here and you are making the rather ridiculous claim that people who disagree with you are committing treason. If the US wants to help in the fight against terrorism it will ban all firearms and collect them for immediate disposal. Until that happens I see no reason to take them seriously. The number of deaths due to terrorism is inconsequential in comparison to the annual number of deaths due to firearms. -- Website: http://hallambaker.com/
