I understand that. But, going back to the main event that brought us all of this wonderful stuff (9/11/2001), the concept was "supposedly" specifically to better focus on catching terrorists. Now, it was clear to me quite a long time ago that something about this was bogus because there was no saturation at the borders (presumably where foreign terrorists were most likely to enter the country). So, now, the mission has changed-and at the same time they aren't doing anything about our borders, they are coming up with all kinds accusations of normal Americans as "domestic terrorists"- to me, there is something wrong with this picture. Apparently, some take offense to what I'm saying-that's ok, I respect everyone's opinion.

Sincerely, Clayton

Clayton,

I appreciate your passion and knowledge of the political process. However, the situation is much more complex than your post indicates.
