Mukasey ’surprised’ by scope of terrorist threats
That’s the headline on this piece at CNN where Bush-Cheney puppet Attorney General Michael Mukasey reports to “have been taken aback by the scope and variety of potential terrorism threats facing the United States.”
Furthermore:
“I’m surprised by how surprised I am,” said Mukasey, who as a federal judge presided over terrorism-related trials in New York.
“It’s surprising how varied [the threat] is, how many directions it comes from, how geographically spread out it is,” he said.
You have got to be kidding me. Let me translate this whole piece of “news” trash for you:
Bush administration official thinks it’s “really crazy how scared we should be from threats of terrorists. For real, it’s really, really bad. It’s amazing how much we should give in and live in constant fear and continue to abridge our freedom and rights.”
This is nothing short of outright propaganda. This piece of “news” is indicative of how the Republicans have run this country under Bush-Cheney for the past 8 years. It is despicable. Every so often, the news is permeated with pieces like this from alleged jounralist Terry Frieden to “keep being scared and vote Republican.” There is zero substance here, naturally because - no surprise - it’s “secret”!
I, personally, have had it. Yes, terrorism exists. No, I won’t give up my rights and cower at every turn feeding into the Republican fearmongering machine.
