I thought the war on terrorism was not a "law enforcement problem"

[bluestateguy]

Isn't that what our neoconservative friends lectured to us for five years?

If so, why are we going down the law enforcement route with these 7 alleged terrorists from Miami? Shouldn't we be planning on blowing up their houses and sending the Marines into their neighborhood?

1. it's not. it's a propaganda problem

and with Rove in deep shit and working on the 2006 "elections"

the "Jusice" Department is doing their part to fill the propaganda void

2. And Where Are the Democrats?

Believe me, I want all terrorists caught. But I also want the hypocricy stopped. I watched the press conference this morning and waited for the speaker to thank the troops in Iraq after thanking all the law enforcement agencies. Surprise, surprise, it didn't happen.

5. The Democrats are too busy being "even tougher on Terrorists"

Let's not pretend they don't know the value of a good propoganda war. Both parties know that.

3. This is better than fight the Communist cells

Wonder of we will always have to have a group we live in fear of? These guys sound the same as the nuts who ran around in the 60's.

4. What I wonder is this -

how long after the election in November might these charges against these people be reduced severely . . . like another high-profile terrorism case not too long ago . . .

6. Shouldn't they be whisked off for a "Cuban vacation"?

I mean, they are calling them terrorists and Smirky said that all terrorists were to be Gitmo'ed.

Could it be that they are worried of the outcry if citizens of Murka went to Gitmo?
Maybe they are playing both sides of the fence for election year.

I expect these terra guys will be prosecuted and jailed before anyone at Gitmo is.
