The terrorists knew what they were doing when they missed their chance to catch congress in session and hit more important targets instead. They left us hamstringed, and open for further terrorism at the hands of our own home-grown nest of congress-snakes.
No one seems to realize or refuse to admit that the baggage screeners did absolutely nothing wrong on 9/11. Those box cutters were perfectly legal at the time. Geez...they even had steak knives in first class for crying out loud. The failure was at the INS, CIA, and FBI levels. But everyone needs a target so they rail against the baggage screeners!!
I get so mad just thinking about this. The fact that they bill allows for up to 2 years to federalize everyone should raise a red flag. Even the bozos in Congress know it isn't the screeners fault. What is ocurring here is blatant politics, pure and simple. All symbolism and no substance whatsoever. It stinks.
