3. wow, the underlying cause! criminals, really?

that's what's beneath the surface of the problem of crime. you have to do a lot of shifting around and looking beneath the surface, but eventually, you come to a criminal. and that's what caused the crime!

well done, Mr. Ashcroft. you've done it again. you deserve a vacation.

What a dumbass, and I thought Bush was the only one in there capable of such asinine statements.

Let them eat cake rather than steal bread.
