Okay... so the Drug War has been such a success that most people don't even know what marijuana
looks like, so we should apply this same winning, liberty-enhancing strategy to fighting terrorism.

go back into my bomb shelter now to hide. this is really scary.

The In Defense of Freedom Coalition, an ad hoc group of more than 150 organizations

Oh Boy a new group has been added! The liberals can spin them out faster than you can print business cards for them.

In the interest of the survival of Christendom (it's in your interest too; believe me), I am willing to push the envelope a little. But in this case asset freezing works just as well as asset forfeiture, and it's vastly less corrupting.

I happen to believe that the best historical analogy to what's happening now is the emergence of the Soviet Union -- when a prompt and firm response from the West would have vastly reduced the danger. Instead, through Western cowardice and treachery, we were exposed to 60+ years of mortal danger. Federal authorities already have plenty of power to track terrorists here. Maybe I'd modify the wiretap laws and enforce stronger cockpt security, but the other proposals seem mostly unnecessary and dangerous. The chief danger is still abroad, and that's where I think the enemy should be attacked -- early, often, and in an intelligently targeted way.

Thanks for the flag. I've been thinking about you. Stay in touch.

In an attempt to show just how benign the War on Terror will be for law-abiding citizens, Ashcroft has chosen an odd model: the War on Drugs.

Eeek!
