"A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The study concluded that the statements “were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses.”

Now this was written by a non=profit journalist organization, which means they are solely about getting the truth out. The fact that it outlines so many falsehood that he told the american people to get behind him for the war, when he had an alternate adgenda. Knowing that, it was Bush that keopt talking about terrorists and the threat, so that we would think there was a threat. HE enlisted the fear in us, NOT TERRORISTS.

Its about a new bill that is about to expire, that bush wants the timeline extended to 2020. Called "Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act "

"The eavesdropping law expires Feb. 1. Among the issues to be resolved are how much oversight, and by whom, of the government's surveillance of communications involving people inside the United States with those outside the country. Also, whether to grant legal immunity to telecommunications companies that helped the government conduct warrantless surveillance.

“If this law expires, it will become harder to figure out what our enemies are doing to infiltrate our country, harder for us to uncover terrorist plots, and harder to prevent attacks on the American people,” Bush said. “We need to know who our enemies are and what they are plotting. And we cannot afford to wait until after an attack to put the pieces together.”

This means that the gov't has unlimited potential for surviellence whenever and however they want. Plus the fact that bush is urging this to be extended only as to prevent terrorist attacks and uncover terrorists. Well, we could have done something about 9/11, just like we knew about Pearl Horbor beore it happend, but wanted to get into the war. Bush Sr. was having lunch with the leader od pakistan the same day as 9/11, who the leader wired $100,000 to the leader who organized the plans jackings. Bush is still enlisting the fear he placed in people, ans still using that although we have proven that its not true!

Well, that about all the ranting I can get in now. READ THE ARTICLES! more to come.
