Either 9/11 was intentionally allowed to happen (doubtful) or the FBI once again
dropped the ball on an important investigation. If a person or organization
proves their gross incompetence (yet again) leading to massive loss of life, my
first response is not to hand them MORE authority. The FBI had all the
intelligence-gathering capabilities they needed to thwart 9/11 if they had just
listened to their field agents. The FBI needs to be REFORMED from the top down,
not simply given more power to abuse.
The "Patriot" Act is a massive piece of legislation. I would almost prefer to
think that it was the culmination of years of hidden agenda rather than
something that was hastily thrown together by a roomful of sleep-deprived
legislators. But either method is unlikely to create Good Law.

The Bush Administration at the very least turned a blind eye toward any evidence
that suggested that Iraq might not have WMD, then used their biased analyses of
whatever "intelligence" was left to justify attacking a sovereign nation in a
region where we already have image problems. Going into the war, they said that
to declassify their information would somehow endanger field agents and/or
informants. Now that the war is over (sort of), the danger to those field
agents and informants has surely subsided to the point where this information
can now be shared with the American public.
Halliburton has certainly profitted from every stage of the conflict in Iraq.
The disturbing thing about this is not that power is being abused, but that it
is being abused so blatantly and without any fear of consequence.
At least Nixon knew that he should be ashamed of what he was doing.

If you read the newspapers you will see that many government officials are now
spilling the beans about the fact that the evidence of WMD appears to have been
trumped up. I think you will see those approval numbers continue to move South
as more details come out over the next several months.

Actually, according to the Conspiracy Theory, Bush had nothing to do with the
planning. He is merely the finger puppet. The fact that he doesn't have a
cover story does not in itself prove that he is not part of a conspiracy. The
true power brokers don't care if he is left holding the bag; they would need a
patsy anyhow.
He could be either a deranged genius or a complete idiot. I don't know which,
(although I would happily venture a guess) but either way this nation is in for
a rough ride.
