Seeking out "Terrorists"

A rather disturbing report from CNN would lead you to believe that an even greater divide shall fall among this country. The Justice Department is doing a full-blown investigation on the CIA's interrogation tactics for "suspected terrorists". What's really going on here? Look, I understand that these "unorthodox techniques" have been used for years. I understand that it has only been a topic of discussion here and there, but nothing big was made of it - and if it was, the media didn't show more than about a week's worth of discussion.

What we need to be talking about is our crippling economy. Yes, the unemployment rate went down, but do you know what constitutes the unemployment rate? This is the number of people who are off of unemployment benefits - this does not mean that they have a job. This rate is going to increase, I know for a fact in Missouri, they are cutting office jobs in the state Capitol. Why? We were given the most of the economical stimulus money - which I don't see helping anywhere around here!

There is a bigger picture here. "Terrorists" were created to keep the American public in fear! It is how we feed into that fear which affects our daily lives. I do not need a color coordinated chart to tell me which days I need to be more afraid - how about you? I do not need our Central Intelligence Agency meandering around, playing with guns, and messing everything up even more - especially since Abdul Aziz al-Hakim passed away with his "will" misappropriated to the public.

This corruption isn't only in the CIA, it's in the Federal Reserve and Religious groups as well. It's amazing what tactics people will use when they believe their religion will justify them. Now, this investigation is based on the principle that nobody is above the law - I can see that! These tactics are going to be used, regardless of what people think or say. Seeking out "terrorists" to "interrogate" them - fighting fear with fear has what type of end result - anger!

So what you need to know is that the Justice Department is setting this investigation up to distract from the real issues at hand. What you need to know is that fighting fire with fire only causes an explosion. What you need to know is that there are millions upon millions of Americans without jobs - and those who thought their jobs were secure are facing a harsh reality. What you need to know is that "terrorists" exist here in the United States in the form of Political leaders and Government officials. What you need to know is that "terrorism" is used to strike fear - and why should you be afraid?
