Bush has given every indication that he takes his job of providing national security very very seriously. And I think this is the basis of the order.
On the other hand, the mainstream media has shown NO concern for our survival. Naturally, they'll stick their thumbs in their mouths and cry "But that material is OURS!"
Grow up!
Did you approve of building the heroin trade in order to prosecuting a failing war in Laos? Did it work? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to have made the sale to the American people by communicating with them forthrightly instead of financing it with crime, drug abuse, single parentage, or a dependent class of destroyed lives? Did you approve prosecution of a temporarily successful effort to rid Nicaragua of Daniel Ortega by flooding America with cheap cocaine? Have you noticed who is running Panama, or that Ortega is making a comeback? Wouldn't it have been cheaper than filling our jails?

Really? Has he closed the Mexican border? Has he taken immediate action to corral Arab illegals that are still crossing it in droves? No? The Federal Government is not the source of our national security. Citizens are. Citizens were the only force that prevented one of those highjeckings from achieving its goal. It sure as hell wasn't Andrews Air Force Base across the street from the Pentagon. They couldn't even find two guys with Stingers with over an hour and a half of advance notice! What has Bush done to empower citizens? Instead Ashcroft grabs a bunch of unconstitutional provisions off the shelf where Reno left it and jams them through the Senate!
Wake up.
Not according to the President. This war is expected to last for years. We're not even at the beginning yet. Anything the President wants to do can't be excused as a wartime measure. If you think that Americans need to be protected from the truth about their government, then you'd better suggest to the current administration that they privatize that protective function. After all, our government hasn't protected us from diddly at this point.
