The US should reopen most of the sites shut down after September 11 because of terrorism fears, a report says.

The report appears to justify those who accused the Bush administration of acting rashly due to terrorist fears.

"It was a gigantic mistake, and I hope the study brings some rationality back to this policy," said Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists' project on government secrecy. "Up to now, decisions have been made on a knee-jerk basis."

This situation is part and parcel of why A$$KKKroft is AGUSA. Having a frothing fundy in that position is a tactical move for them. He sees the Internet as a tool of Satan, where all sorts of sinful anti-American content goes slamming around the world. A$$KKKroft has only one agenda: Theocracy, in the image HE approves. He sees himself as the enforcer of a brand of morality HE approves. Only him. John A$$KKKroft, God's Warrior.

It is very easy to manipulate people like him, and manipulate him they do. Tweak him the right way and you get him to go after websites that you want to go away.
