"The weakest spot"
Cal Thomas

April 6, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Department of Homeland Security conducted a simulated terrorism drill this week in Connecticut and New Jersey to assess the speed and effectiveness of law enforcement and emergency medical personnel.

Rep. Chris Cox, California Republican and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said a major reason for the drill was to find our "weak spots."

What does it say about our anti-terrorist efforts if we are now preparing for disasters in Connecticut and New Jersey instead of directing substantial efforts on our weakest spot: the borders?"

"ACLU: Punish officials

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The American Civil Liberties Union has asked a judge to hold a Louisiana school board in contempt because someone said a prayer over the PA system before a high-school baseball game.

Joe Cook, executive director of ACLU of Louisiana, claims members of the Tangipahoa Parish School Board should be fined or go to jail "for their calculated un-American and immoral conduct to embarrass, hinder or obstruct the court in the administration of justice."


The March 24 prayer came after a years-long legal battle waged against the district by the ACLU, which claims any prayer at a public-school event violates the First Amendment establishment clause."
