Giving in to the terrorists. posted by Richard Seymour

The Department of Homeland Security has, according to this report , produced a document assessing the risk of terrorist attacks from internal foes. In it, no mention is made of the risk of attack from right-wing extremist groups - 'flag n foetus' nutters who are responsible for the bulk of attacks within the US over the past 20 years.

Why? The number of attacks from such groups has diminished in recent years, in large part because their agenda is being implemented by the government. So, the Bush administration has reduced terrorism by giving the terrorists what they want. With any luck, America under Bush will give up being so 'rich n free' and then Al Qaeda will decide to jack it in. Come to think about it, reducing freedoms, ruining the economy and generating increasing poverty appear to be flagship policies of this administration. That Bush is smarter than you think.
