Sounds about right, yes. I can't believe you all are naive enough to believe that the Times has your best interests at heart, while the government is just trying to screw you. Everyone is trying to screw you, get used to it. On 1/28/07, Dana wrote: > > The editor of the Times gets up in the morni

The Times is fear-mongering. They are just interested in making you afraid of the US government and the Bush Administration. It does The Times no good to remind people that there are real enemies out there who want to indiscriminately murder Americans in large numbers. Are you more afraid of the CI
