Holy shit! I just learned that the Department of Homeland Security thwarted a Category IV hurricane headed toward downtown Los Angeles back in 2002. Apparently there was a lot of chatter from hurricane operatives and associates that the Category IV was determined to strike LAX or the tallest building in the city. Because airport security is so tight and impenetrable, it settled on the downtown area. Fortunately for America, George Tenet was able to torture the details of the plot out of a tropical storm near San Diego, and avert disaster.
Thank God our government is listening to our phone calls. If they weren't, Los Angeles might not exist. And then where would my acting career be?

Laura,
Great post. I bet the Daily Show steals it next week.
Velveeta,
All I really want is for people like you to make up your minds. It would be a great improvement if you would just treat everybody the same.
Your arguments depend on two things:
1. the reader not knowing or not remembering what happened in the pass
2. getting people to expect your opponents to behave in ways that are completely unrealistic and unlike anything they would do themselves.
Often there is a third thing, blaming the victim for making you have to mistreat them.
If you don't want to stop being hypocritical and you aren't discouraged by how stupid you seem to those who see past the smoke and mirrors, at least come up with something original instead of the same old same old.
I agree with Huck that the "war on terror" is not a war at all, more like a constant struggle. I wonder if Bush will write a book about his presidency called "My Struggle"?
"Hindsight alone is not wisdom, and second guessing is not a strategy." George W. Bush
"My Struggle"? What kind of delusional egotistical warmonger would name a book that?
I watched a History Channel show on the "Mississippi Sovereignty Commission" and was surprised to see the parallels between it and the "Department of Homeland Security."
Anybody want to bet that's why Pres. Carter spoke out at Mrs. King's funeral?
I can always count on Clinton to get the joke without the winkie face ;)
Soll das ein Scherz sein?
