One of the few things our govt is constitutionally mandated to do and the Nanny state peeps are aginst it. Go figure.
and this is why they go all batty over PNAC: Clinton did not have a plan for protecting the US, so, a group of forward thinking individuals did so.
somehow they equate thinking ahead of a disaster on par with planning a disaster so they can take over.
guess what Dummies? Bush was ALREADY the president when 9/11 happened. and there is no way in hell our govt did it to us.
