Peeping Through Our Keyholes and Grabbing Our Kids
About a month ago a good friend became enraged when she learned that recruiters had called her home to try to persuade her son in high school to enlist in the military. She was doubly upset as her son was going through a bad patch in high school at that point and because she had not known that our schools are now obliged to hand out both addresses and home phone numbers of kids who might be enticed into the military. I mention this incident because opposition to military recruitment seems to be sufficient to put individuals and groups on the NAS terrorism lists per the details of the report below.
If our security operatives are this stupid, one has to worry about the actual security of our homeland against attacks. Needless to say such operations cannot have any security implications beyond protecting the incompetents now in office who are precisely botching the job of protecting us both here and abroad. Help!
P.S. I suppose this comment qualifies me as a potential terrorist suspect. Yes, I have been called along those lines by a guy who identified himself as a member of one of our area police departments who had had a report about an email posting of mine. We both lamented how incompetent our actual protection is as we discussed matters by phone. I ride our NYC subways which are a prime target this spring and know as we all do that we are TOTALLY unprotected there from bombing or worse.

While the White House defended domestic surveillance as a safeguard
against terrorism, a Florida peace activist and several Democrats in
Congress accused the Bush administration on Friday of spying on
Americans who disagree with President Bush's policies.
