1. When the consolidation into the DHS was first proposed . . .
I remember lots of people saying "this agency will be too big to be effective -- we're just going to dumb down the good agencies to the level of the weak agencies, and add a layer of political patronage at the top that will guarantee inefficiency . . ." (The previous is my summary of what I observed at the time.)

And then you throw in Chertoff, a putz of the first water, and (apparently) systems designers without any common sense whatsoever, and what to you get? USA, 2008.

Whatever terrorist plots are currently being incubated in the hinterlands of Pakistan, or the barrios of LA, or the outer suburbs of Paris . . . they're going to work, because our preventive systems are dumb.as.dirt.

2. People need to wrap their heads around the fact that the main terrorist
work out of the White House. While terrorists plots may be incubated in various hinterlands they are conceived and laid in the White House.

3. Well, I still think one should make the distinction between . . .
State terrorism and freelance terrorism. State terrorism is much less effective and waaaaay more expensive.

4. I'd really like to know how many "terrorists" has this
flawed, and fucked system collared? This is just another in the long list of fascist practices bestowed upon us by fuck-head Bush and the DHS. Thanks a million fucker. I will never fly again until this shit goes away, and we are treated like customers, not criminals. If I want someone to look up my ass, I'll see a proctologist, not some disgruntled asshole at a ticket counter.

FUCK THE AIRLINES!

6. not to worry. The way the airlines are going there aren't going to be
any airlines to fly on ergo, no need for TSA or no-fly lists.

7. Drill offshore too!
It's all cosmetic in the GOP world. You can bet someone is making money off this lame crap. Now Dems are not golden either, but they seem to do better than this!

8. The War on Terror needs to be completely revamped
There is nothing Bush has done that has worked.

James Robinson probably wasn't the terrorist's real name any way. That is, if he really was a terrorist and not just some civil liberties activist who frightens the fascist wannabes in the Bush Regime.
