More of Jeffrey Gardner’s Nonsense

Regarding Jeffrey Gardner’s latest nonsense: No one

disputes that 9/11 happened. In fact, some of the strongest critics of BushCo include the families of those killed. Most of us realize

the terrorist threat has escalated dramatically thanks to our bumbling in Iraq. And all of us are aware that a free society will always

be at risk to unscrupulous scoundrels, domestic and foreign.

As a consistent critic of BushCo’s wrong-headed and ham-handed

response to 9/11, I don’t want a dime more money from Homeland Security in Albuquerque. Vast amounts are pouring into small towns all

over AmeriCo for security cameras in every corner — more corporate welfare. The lines between the police, the military and the spies are

all gone. I feel no safer than I did on 9/12.

I heartily agree with the Tribune that “the incompetence and ignorance of Homeland

Security and the Bush administration in addressing the real issues of homeland security is staggering.” mjh
