>> Do you honestly believe that those people didn’t see it as an opportunity and take advantage?
Well, I sure don’t believe it.
But since you and your fave nutjob feel otherwise, instead of speaking in code innuendo, JTN, why don’t you spell out...
1) EXACTLY WHO you’re talking about when you say “those people”.
2) PRECISELY WHAT they saw as an OPPORTUNITY and PRECISELY HOW they planned to take advantage of it.
The Justice Department, and the Bush administration.
2) PRECISELY WHAT they saw as an OPPORTUNITY and PRECISELY HOW they planned to take advantage of it.
9/11, which you may recall was the topic under discussion, was the opportunity.
It was taken advantage of in myriad ways. To pick just one example, The USA PATRIOT act was not proposed in reaction to the attacks. The Reno DoJ had been asking for those powers for years, and the Republican Congress kept blocking them (As Dick Armey said of it, "One of these hotshots from the Justice Department said, 'This isn't new; we've been asking for this for a long time.' I said, 'We've been saying no for a long time.'").
