The govt admits it was not terrorism.
The govt charges him under the anti-terror PA.
When people complained about the threat posed by the PA to the liberties of US citizens John Ashcroft ridiculed the doubters and assured citizens the PA would never be abused.
Anyone know?
Easy answer: (1) the govt always lies and (2) the PA probably is the only thing they can charge him with.
Remember the debate regarding RICO? People worried it would be used against regular folks. THe govt said it would only be used against the Mafia.
Now the US Justice Dept prosecutes anti abortion protestors with RICO.
Don't believe what I tell you. For God's sake don't believe what the govt tells you. Process what you see with your own eyes and draw your own conclusions..
You know, I understand your concern remembering as I do, under Reno and Clinton, Waco and Ruby Ridge and countless pro life demonstrators hounded to jail and bankruptcy. Scary time.
I support the Patriot Act for its ability to catch terrorists in this nation. I have no problem with getting records and email from those who would do harm. Trusting and respecting John Ashcroft as I do, I could never disagree with a law that be supported.
What I need to know is why this dangerous man ion NJ wasn't charged under another law. There must be a law/s that prohibits shooting a rocket at a jet aircraft. Or dropping a rock on the thruway in the middle of rush hour traffic...What happens if Hillary - God forbid - gets into the WH?
Weren't there a set of laws the Hitler got passed in the 30's that allowed the Gestapo to go after anyone for anything?
Well I guess we are starting to realize the Patriot Act isn't just about Terrorism. It's about giving the federal government more power.
And don't believe what the MSM is telling you either...
