Racists in the military

"Under pressure to meet wartime manpower goals, the U.S. military has relaxed standards designed to weed out racist extremists. Large numbers of potentially violent neo-Nazis, skinheads and other white supremacists are now learning the art of warfare in the armed forces." The irony, of course, is that when I was active duty Army, we were repeatedly warned of extremists trying to get in the military to get training. We were trained in recognizing gang symbols and tattoos to help keep them out. A lot has changed in four years. I wonder why.

It's been thier plan all along.

This should come as no surprise to anybody: The U.S. National Security Agency asked AT&T Inc. to help it set up a domestic call monitoring site seven months before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, lawyers claimed June 23 in court papers filed in New York federal court. The NSA shouldn't be randomly spying on Americans. Bush lied about when the program started - and the nature of the program. It's funny, really. When Bush & co. were saying "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about"... they were hiding the bad stuff they were doing.
