U.S. Uses Terror Law To Pursue Crimes

And does this suprise you?

Isn't this the type of behavior we should expect from our esteemed government representatives?

Using a loophole in a law to bypass personal rights and liberties is nothing new.

The Clinton administration did the same thing, however not on a (immediately obvious) far reaching scale as the Bush administration's recent bastardization of law. Remember Waco?

A "suspected crystal meth lab" was an excuse used to exploit a loophole in the Posse Comitatus Act. There was no evidence, then or now, for the BATF’s assertion that the Branch Davidians were manufacturing methamphetimine. However the government only needed a reason (excuse) to use the US military against US civilians.

Ben Franklin wrote, "Those that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Unfortunately most Americans ARE willing to give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary or safety. They keep electing the same people to office on both sides of the isle, and often it is because they DON'T want "the other guy" to win. It is both pathetic, sickening, and frightening, what we have for a government.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
