That there have been attempted attacks since OBL was killed is public record.
By Americans and foreigners.
Terrorism isnt going away, homegrown assholes or foreign assholes.
All it would take is ONE bomb attack, and everyone would be screaming for more than his head. For not keeping the country safe as well as he possibly can. The NDAA was against terror suspects that has to include american citizens because they are also causing terror attacks.
Wether you like it or not... terrorism is insidious and hidden and tactics HAVE to adapt to the forces in play. I dont like it, but Yes, waiving it, makes a difference. FOR NOW.After the election.... allbets are off
God help the situation if the repubs win. All you need is crazy Iranians bombing up the joint
Its been almost 40 years since the UK was the target of mad bastard bombers. I dont like the restrictions in my homeland, but having been a victim of bomb attacks personally I can understand them.
There has always been terrorism, well before attacks were labelled as terrorism.. and there always will be terrorist attacks.. I never said otherwise.. but what has been in place has worked pretty well for 10 years so why now the need for even more? What has changed now?
And its not so much the laws as they were intended that is the problem, imo,.. its how the laws will be manipulated and turned into something they were never meant to be that is, imo.. all one has to do is look at how the US forfeiture laws have turned police from upholding the law to basically using the law to become thieves themselves... In Seattle, the cops used money forfeited by fishermen to buy an expensive $300,000 boat for them to party on, the supposed "legal" reason cited for needing it was to spy on whale watchers.. and look at how TSA has abused laws too, forcing women to remove piercings for no reason, old people subjected to strip searches, seizing cupcakes, etc.. and many more examples of various laws being abused.. When it comes to laws, I just dont trust those in charge of enforcing them..
