There is so much in this story that bugs me, I don't know where to begin

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060815/pl_afp/usattacksbushpolitics_060815172722

First off, why doesn't he just say, "Do you know how much political capital we can realize from having a few terrorists arrested every three or four months? Why, we can do this for years!"

"The president, suffering in the polls because of sky-high gas prices and the unpopular war in Iraq..." The media is still giving the SOB a free ride. Or at least the AFP is. Why not "The President, suffering in the polls because of repeated violations of the Constitutional rights of US citizens and for his almost constant lying..." If Dan Rather was dead, he'd be spinning in his grave.

It doesnt't take William Randolph Hearst to figure out that persecuting the president sells ad space. Why aren't they doing it? Because the GOP will ask why they hate America? When did the press become afraid of politicians? Did terrible things happen under Reagan that we don't know about? Did reporters get phone calls in the middle of the night? LBJ used to call Rather in the middle of the night and talk about peckers. Didn't bother Rather.

Back to the article, what has happened to the FBI? Did we disolve it when we discovered terrorism?

Feh. ITMFA.
