Your problem is that you have lived on the Left Coast for to long and are "just another Liberal' Have you ever thought of serving on the 9th Federal Court. That would be right up your alley.

Then your only problem would be that your decisions would be overturned every time.

Of course when asked, you can't produce a single post where I said that. Conclusion, you are a liar.

And I guess I have given you more attention then you deserve.

Can't imagine a young person passing that up...

[Editor's Note, November 2005: More than two years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, there has been no verification of Khodada's account of the activities at Salman Pak. In fact, U.S. officials have now concluded that Salman Pak was most likely used to train Iraqi counter-terrorism units in anti-hijacking techniques. It should also be noted that he and other defectors interviewed for this report were brought to FRONTLINE's attention by the Iraqi National Congress (INC), a dissident organization that was working to overthrow Saddam Hussein. Since the original broadcast, Khodada has not publicly addressed questions that have been raised about his account of activities at Salman Pak.]

I would recommend not attending meetings of radical militants, not associating with terrorists, not looking at websites about how to make bombs...

FWIW, folks who protest military recruiting are nothing more than misdirected peaceniks. Te military provides great opportunities for young people. If they don't have the faith in their parenting ability, that their kids can make informed decisions about their future, then the military is the least of their worries.

Tomorrow, we'll be back to WMD as the sole reason.

Weekends it'll be the oillllll!

Compare the Iraq war. Expense? Check.

Inconvenience? Check. (Especially for all those guys who used to have arms and legs.)

Negligible impact on terrorists? Check.

Less privacy? According to MSNBC, check:

WASHINGTON - A year ago, at a Quaker Meeting House in Lake Worth, Fla., a small group of activists met to plan a protest of military recruiting at local high schools. What they didn't know was that their meeting had come to the attention of the U.S. military.

A secret 400-page Defense Department document obtained by NBC News lists the Lake Worth meeting as a “threat” and one of more than 1,500 “suspicious incidents” across the country over a recent 10-month period. * * *

“This is incredible,” adds group member Rich Hersh. “It's an example of paranoia by our government,” he says. “We're not doing anything illegal.”

The Defense Department document is the first inside look at how the U.S. military has stepped up intelligence collection inside this country since 9/11, which now includes the monitoring of peaceful anti-war and counter-military recruitment groups.
