Well, we can see from their current actions that those asshat terrorists in Congress are not addressing these issues. In fact they are talking about adding even more restrictions, such as the PASS (National Drivers' License) act. (25 States have told the Federal Government to fuck itself, because they wont do it, however.)

BINGO! Define 'terrorist' carefully because you may find Bush, Rove, and Cheney to be on the top of the list. They used the attacks to steal freedoms from the American people.

The situation could have been handled MUCH differently.

Now, actually Bush, Rove, Cheney and Obama fit into another bucket that can be labeled, "Power-mongering Jack Asses."

Of course you have to toss around another 500 into that same bucket.

Where's Microdizzey and his movie previews, I can think of a perfect use for the technology in Gamer or that other movie, Representatives, Senators and the Bureaucrats.

Dude, define terrorist. What constitutes a "terrorist"? The word terrorist was coined by the government so that people would associate it with 9/11. Thats the image the population has when it hears that word. Then, when the government stomps on a pot grower in a legal state (or anyone for that matter) over an ambiguity in the law and labels them terrorists, public opinion is already rehearsed, and in place. How can we be at war with such a nebulous enemy? What, are we at war with the world? Terrorist has no nationality, race creed or religion associated with the concept, so how do you go to war with a will o' the wisp? This is all smoke and mirrors. Our gov wants us scared to death, and willing to do anything to keep those nasty terrorists out of our homes and our CHILDREN safer. Funny nobody is worried about THAT? The propaganda machine spews on.

We are at war with an ideology, or several ideologies, and not a tangible enemy with a face because the threat of terrorism can be found anywhere from the bully on the playground, to the belligerent officer who searches your car anyway because he has cowed you into compliance. Our own government is a terrorist organization by it's own definition.

We are screwed as a country. ANYONE who says that the terrorists can't win is a turnip. They already have won. We did not have the PATRIOT act prior to 9/11 much less the ability to use it. Now, the Gov't not only uses that act AND FISA frequently, They have now justified applying them to US citizens. Drugs have already been talked about as the single most credible threat to our national security, it's only a matter of time before we start sending growers and potheads to Guantanamo (or the next secret equivalent) We are already targeting militias with it. Not saying that having a well regulated militia down the road wouldn't make me feel a bit edgy, however, as long as there are no plans for violent acts, they have the right to do thier thing. The gov't has no right to regulate them or thier ideology, only what they do in the furtherance of it. And the government certainly DIDN"T have the ability to eavesdrop/wiretap them without cause, well guess what? FISA and PATRIOT give them that power to fight national security threats. All that means is defining a threat to national security, and any rights go straight out the window.

Wanna have a political discussion? Read both FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), and the PATRIOT act. Learn them enough to be able to defend a position, and I'll be more than happy to discuss your new attitude towards the government, because it WILL change the way you think about them.

We already have had conspiracy laws on the books where it is illegal to PLAN a crime. The RICO statutes were geared to combat organized crime, yet has had it's expanded LEO powers to prosecute many other "hard to prosecute" crimes. What they wanna do now is make it easier for them to discover those plots by intruding on all electronic communications, and expand already diluted search and seizure laws. That was NOT the intention of our founding fathers. The America they envisioned looked nothing like this whatsoever. OK, maybe we do live in a different world, and we now need this type of government intrusion (I do not think so at all, but just for the sake of argument). Fine, shit can the constitution and move on. Either way, we are now the USA in name only. The idea and dream came down. They did win.
