George W. Bush's America: A National Nightmare?
by William Hughes
12 Dec 2004


The “Intelligence Bill,” or S. 2845, was passed by the Congress, on Dec. 9, 2004, with little or no public input. Pushed by the ultra Iraqi War Hawk, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-CT), it creates the foundation for a national ID card. Bail can easily be denied to anyone charged with a terrorist offense. The power of Homeland Security bureaucrats to place an activist on “Watch” or “No Fly” lists have also been greatly enhanced by this police state scheme.

Hey! Moghrabi

I follow this kind of stuff rather closely.
This is the same stuff that took place in the 60's except they called it a war on drugs. Every citizen of the world gave up personal freedoms for a war in which even the DEA claims to only prevent 10% of drugs being illegally imported.
We give up all these rights for a 10% success rate or effectiveness.

I don't think it will even produce a 10% success.
