Time Wonders if Maybe All Those Terrorism Arrests Weren't Legit

Looks like even the mainstream media is growing skeptical of the government's terrorism arrests. Time speculates that the JFK plot was overhyped, listing eight reasons why the prosecutor and the folks above her were willing to scare Americans with outrageous statements like the one where she said the plot "could have resulted in unfathomable damage, deaths and destruction." Clearly nonsense, and I'm glad Time is catching on. As for Mother Jones, we reached this point years ago. Jose Padilla and the Lackawanna Six were enough.

Fear mongering still is being used by the rethugs. When the real thing comes they who cried wolf too many times will not be trusted. And thats what republican political corruption does for 'we the people'.
Aren't they the party of family values, the moral majority, the party of law and order and the party of the religious right.

I think the final red flag for me was the muslim ninja commandos "captured" in Florida. I wasn't buying it for one minute. The timing of these releases are beyond suspicious. These stories peppered throughout the year before or after negative news regarding the administration are Exhibit A of the administration's war of terror on the people.

Give me a break!

Bush has prevented another attack since 911.

Bush has done a great job keeping the homeland safe...

No Ames he has not. The fact that there has not been another 9-11 proves nothing. There was NO 9-11 type attack during the Clinton administration. By your reasoning Clinton did a much better job 'keeping the homeland safe', without a huge 'Homeland Security' mechanism, and without spending hundreds of billions of dollars and (at least) tens of thousands of lives to do it.
