Bill would set up Indiana intelligence center

THIS is disturbing … and I couldn't help but chuckle at the ridiculousness of any State agency being intelligent enough to find any kind of intelligence in this state ... so as an afterthought, it's probably going to be harmless ...

Bill would set up Indiana intelligence center


INDIANAPOLIS -- A Senate bill would create a state center to collect and analyze intelligence on Indiana residents suspected of having knowledge of terrorist or criminal activities. Senate Bill 247, sponsored by Sen. Thomas Wyss, R-Fort Wayne, would create an "intelligence fusion center" as part of homeland security efforts.

The center, which would be in the state government complex, would be an information-sharing hub staffed with law enforcement officers from across Indiana. It would work under the direction of the governor.
State Homeland Security Director J. Eric Dietz said the center would be funded through federal grants.

Fran Quigley, executive director of the ACLU of Indiana, said his group is fine with the concept if intelligence gathering is done lawfully. .

1. Under construction: Police state!

All one has to do is yell "9-11" and the public will surrender whatever rights they are asked to surrender. Make no mistake about this proposal, the new Indiana Gestapo will be used against the enemies of the Bush dictatorship.

2. Agreed. And does the ICLU really think it stands a chance

... of standing up to an entity like that ?
Their track record as a protector of citizens rights isn't that ... um ... good. :(

3. Some of my fellow Hoosiers are SO damn stupid!

"Hail, iffn' they kin git thet Ossumma Been Layden feller, Ah'm OK with it...Hain't laik Ah'm doin' enny-thang EEE-Legal, knowhuttamean?"

Yeah, granted, they just finished up trying Sheik Von Munchausen as a "terrorist", even though he insists it was his dead non-existant "twin brother"...

Wonder which PNACer is behind this bill, seeing how a member of the House of Bubbas ain't smart enough to come up with it all by hisself...

Stupid Sheep, they'd let you fuck their daughters if you told 'em it was for "Homeland Security". Why? Because Hoosiers are SO eager to be Good Germ-uh-Murkans...
