13. I think it further attempt to broaden executive authority
The planning has been in the works for years. They needed the war to put people in a state of perpetual fear, so they would be more willing to give up their rights. They needed the press to treat them with kid gloves and to spread the talking-point propaganda, getting rid of the Helen Thomases and leaving the Katie Courics.

They have been stacking the bench with neo-con judges as well as attempting to minimize their role in government: "activist judges." I believe the Terri Shaivo debate was part of the plan to sway the public regarding the issue of judges.

The war was a great idea, because it also put the democrats in an awkward position, and they played right into their hands: against war = for terrorism. And the dems were too silent and acquiesced to the power grabs.

This is an all encompassing plan that is in the process of implementation. Hold on, its going to get worse before it gets better.
