Terrorists: coming soon to a neighborhood near you

ya know what...? i am so sick and tired of having this administration working night and day to get me to pee my pants in abject terror... but, i suppose i might as well get used to it... the mid-term elections are only a little over two and a half months away...
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, in Pittsburgh to address the World Affairs Council, recalled memories of Sep. 11 while referring ominously to a stateless enemy hidden in American towns.

"The most dramatic change," said Gonzales, "is the nature of the enemy our country today faces -- a stateless enemy sometimes hidden and nurtured here in our neighborhoods, taking advantage of the very laws they mock with their killing and destruction, as a shield from detection and prosecution."

Gonzales, further emphasizing the perceived domestic danger, stated, "The threat of homegrown terrorist cells may be as dangerous as groups like al Qaeda, if not more so.

"It is therefore essential that we continue to develop the tools we need to investigate their actions and intentions with the help of our partners, and prosecute those who travel down the road of radicalization."

the only thing i'm sure of is me and you, and i'm not too sure about you...

p.s. stick a friggin' sock in it, alberto... go out and see if you can find an innocent man to detain (i'm sure there's at least ONE out there somewhere), subject him to torture for 5 or 6 years, and see if he coughs up anything worthwhile...
