There are far too many unanswered question regarding 9/11 for me to ever buy into any methods to combat terrorism. Lets figure out who needs to be fired before we lavishly promote everyone in the intelligence agencies. The attacks could of been stopped before post-9/11 legislation so lets stop sacrificing our liberties until we have accountability. Anti-terrorism as it stands today is the wrong solution for the wrong problem. The real problem is government negligence and lack of accountability not our freedoms.

Ah, but some people are now proving in what they say, that they are willing to give up their freedoms and TAKE YOURS AND MINE AWAY, because instead of looking at it as you have eloquently stated, or by simply listening to the commissions that say government isn't doing their job..... these people would rather point to us and our freedoms and allow government to use this as an excuse for doing so. Oh and blame the party not in power and all the evil Libs. (Liberals not Libertarians because oddly enough as our rights are being taken the Libertarians aren't saying much) who voice concern for the loss of our rights, something EVERYONE should worry about, it isn't a Left or Right issue......it is an issue of what is CORRECT and what is WRONG.
And taking away the rights and freedoms from the innocent is wrong.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
