A new report casts doubt on the terrorist-fighting credentials of the Department of Homeland Security. The report released today by a Syracuse University-based think tank concludes that out of more than 800,000 cases filed in federal courts by the Department of Homeland Security since 2004, only 12 were related to terrorism. Another 112 cases were filed using national security charges. DHS officials say the report's conclusions are misleading, arguing that many terrorist cases are ultimately prosecuted by bringing immigration-related charges. The goal, said an agency spokesperson, is often to deport individuals that present a threat as quickly as possible. By...

Starts by explaining the war, then lets the Iranian President attempt to rebut.

In this war freedom should come first not after! In New Hampshire the Motto is Live free or Die! I don't need Bush spying on law abiding americans and taking our freedoms. Anyone who surrenders a square inch of freedom to the government in the name of saftey is a traitor and should be treated like one! Let the Bush Fashists all drop dead! Filthy Commys! LET FREEDOM RING!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

who needs freedom anyway? I mean, look at what it's doen to us. America has more crime, more poverty, and more problems than any other country in the world all beacuse of freedom. The freedom to do what we want but shouldn't there be limits? Especially now that we are at war? Allowing the liberals to smear our soldiers and to sympathize with arabs is demoralizing. We never had this problem in WWII. We just threw them into camps if they messed up. Back when this country was young, we had no freedom. Everyone went to church, women did what...

A review of all of the Blam threads, the lack of Mitacondrial DNA. and any recient Volcanos has led me to think that the fat broads, Siberian Ivories, are a feminist plant. First of all, what male in his right mind would marry a woman who comes in layers, she couldn't pull a travois a mile or so before coming winded, let alone set up camp at the end of the day. Any woman who, in ancient days, sat out side of the circle, men first, womyn second, children third, would have been rail thin. No fat people in the...

This is fairly stupid... I live in central / west Virgina. We have a lovely full moon here tonight. Does that mean that everyone, everywhere on earth, has a full moon? If you're real good, you can also tell me which way the constalations appear to rotate. (I know it is really us that is rotating, but it seems that way.)

I was just curious to know what everyone thought about the winter weather in Georgia. does anyone here think we will get any snow this yr..... i know we are OVERDUE for a big snow atleast thats what soem news broadcasters say. what do u all think....

Ok. I'm back. Lots of film. I was on the street in Penn Ave with my SS bud. I'm bruised from a protestor doing the flying zambonie over the fence and I wrstled with a mad horse that bucked his rider and went nuts after all the noise. Dammit Jim, I'm a PEOPLE doctor!!! Full report to follow, although my hand may be in a cast. So typing may be very bad for a while. Big oxymoron: why are peace protesters the most violent and does a belief in socialist idealology (sp) preclude a belief in personal hygine? Finally (after...

The future of North Carolina Conservatives By Alan M. Teitleman It is a sad state of affairs for Conservatives in North Carolina. What used to be a conservative state is now rampant with liberals posing as Republicans. Although I have only lived in North Carolina for five years, I have seen a lot of changes in North Carolina politics during that time. I saw the chairman of a county Democratic party switch party affiliation and become elected to the Stallings town council as a Republican. I saw the Democratic party actively recruit Democrats to switch parties and run in Republican...

Clearly, those of us in the thinking part of the country are at odds with the red(neck) states. Why not formalise the irreconcilable differences between us by having a go at sovereignty? That way, we can rejoin the civilised world, and you can create your Taliban-style theocracy that you so obviously desire.

who actually believes the second largest porducer oil needs nuclear power?

what happened to the black box which was said to have been found from the airoplane, what was said on it. And the fbi said they found a passport of the terroist who flew the plane in the rubble, how is this possible the passprt would have been burnt if in fact it was placed there by someone. And what aboutall the telephone calls made by the people on board the planes, we should have atleast some information about what was said on the conversations. Why hasnt bin laden been caught, its been 3 years and not caught, it was...
