US President George W. Bush said today that a controversial domestic spying program that some critics say is illegal was necessary in light of new threats on an audiotape from Osama bin Laden, reports the Herald Sun. Listen to the words of Osama bin Laden and take him seriously. When he says he's going to hurt the American people again, or try to, he means it, said Bush, and that's why the government needs to know what books you check out of the library. I take it seriously. And the people of NSA take it seriously. And most of the American people take it seriously as well. Bush tells us the Bill of Rights must be sacrificed because al-Qaeda has placed operatives inside of our country. They blend in with the civilian population. They get their orders from overseas. And then they emerge to strike from within. Never mind that since nine eleven not one al-Qaeda terrorist has been apprehended and convicted of plotting against the United States.
Comment: Never mind that it is Bush and Gang that have created the new Nuclear Brinksmanship. As Cindy Sheehan says: "Get Israel out of Palestine and America out of Iraq and you'll stop the terrorism."
