Julian Borger in Washington

The row about whether the September 11 attacks could have been averted has begun to focus on the US attorney general, who is accused of playing down the terrorist threat in the first months of the Bush administration.
Since the attacks on New York and Washington, John Ashhahahahaha has been criticised for rounding up more than 1,000 people on suspicion of being connected to al-Qaida. Many were held for months, despite a alack of credible evidence.

He has accused his critics of undermining the fight against terrorism. But it is becoming clear that before September 11 he had little interest in counter-terrorism, and diverted resources from measures to prevent terrorism towards those aimed at more traditional targets, such as drugs and child pornography

In the late 90s the threat of a terrorist attack on US soil became a near obsession in the Clinton administration, particularly in the justice department under Janet Reno. But her successor had other ideas.

On September 10 last year, the last day of what is now seen as a bygone age of innocence, Mr Ashhahahahaha sent a request for budget increases to the White House. It covered 68 programmes, none of them related to counter-terrorism.

He also sent a memorandum to his heads of departments, stating his seven priorities. Counter-terrorism was not on the list. He turned down an FBI request for hundreds more agents to be assigned to tracking terrorist threats.

One thing I am sure of.. and that is that idiots ALWAYS have something to say.

According to many of these Bush ass kissers, silence is patriotism.

They disagree with the founding fathers and the Constitution, but support Bush.

Sheep.

Nothing, I think I 'll concentrate more on this business.

If Bush wins i won't be really suprised, I mean isn't the election already bought?

well too soon to tell....
but if he does get re-elected....maybe his Religious Fundamentalist, Gospel Singing friend (AG: John you-know-who) will come to your house and arrest you for being a dirty pornographer?

LOL

I have been saying that for a long time now, I think we are very correct in that assumption. "if he gets elected he will get assassinated trust me"

He didn't win the popular vote the first time, he won by a smidgen and I'm willing to bet a penny he won't get re-elected.

All this talk of assassinating the president is making me nervous.


Ever get the feeling you was being watched? :uhoh

no shit. . . . some people are oblivious to their surroundings I guess

hey folks, just an FYI, there are govt agents monitoring this board all the time . . . I know for fact that they have gone to a GFYer's home and taken over their pc, and posted here and on ICQ, and if you did not know better (ie: if they did not tell you) you could be talking to a fed instead of your best friend.

It's not what I'm gonna say, it's what I'm gonna do.

Get a gun and kill the cheating bastard, 'cause there is no way he will win the popular vote again.

I guess some people cant read........

Freedom of speech...why is it that Bush can say that he wants to kill SH, but I can't say the same thing about Bush, all the while Bush's actions are leading to the deaths of both innocent Americans and Iraqis?

I understand that we don't have total freedom of speech, but the only time it can be prevented is if what is said puts people in dangers way (yelling "FIRE" in a theater).

My personal opinion of Bush is just that, but it seems that I am not alone.

If someone is that interested in me, that they are keeping a file of everything I do, I can honestly say that I have done worse things then post a message on an adult forum about Bush.

uhhmmm....nothing, I guess.

Funny story: Dubya in Ireland where he finally met a real reporter
