You can say this all that you want. But you cannot honestly deny that there is a possibility. Its not like our government has a clean reputable history of always doing the right thing.
 
I applaude this new idea that the front line is now here in our front yard. This "war" today resembles nothing previous therefore should be waged accordingly. Our constitution supports martial law when required and so there is no room here for discussion. Pass this and live with it. Two recent examples of this "New America" are the airline episodes of a stewardess and now a pilot going beserk on the plane. Instead of sitting back and waiting for an authority figure vigilanties took control and saved the situation from becoming tragic. Private gun ownership is soaring now as we know it may be our next door neighbor plotting to act against us. On 9-11-01 it was said "we are forever changed" and more laws are in effect and we are urged to turn in any person appearing to be suspicious. Your best freinds would turn you in to the military if they thought you were a clear and persent danger and you know it. Welcome to the future!!

So, I haven't been keeping up -- someone tell me how many U.S. citizens have been swept up so far by the authorizations in this bill? :lamo

This bill created for the coming war on Iran, I think. It is used to deal with anti-war people.

On May 1, 2001, news released "Operation Northwoods". You also could have asked the similar question then. Nobody knew it was used to justify the 911 terror attack four months later.
