fBI folly
Current mood: blah

Ok, So I just read this article on BBC about "military lawyers defending civil liberties" Make sense? Basically, the government had their eyes ona military intelligence official who served 8 years in teh US Army. So now why would FBI agents storm to his house one morning and arrest him? Because this man, despite the fact that he hadnt traveled outside the country in a decade, was accused of having ties with the Madrid train bombing in Spain last year that killed about 200 people. What was FBI's evidence? Vague segment of a fingerprint and used a certain book that upheld their suspicion of him.
So basically, Brandon Mayfield was jailed for a few weeks while they went through "thorough" investigation to finally recant and declare his innocence.

So why all the hub bub in the first place? Well, lets just say three things. He converted and became a chaplain in the army. He converted to Islam. According to their evidence, the Quran that he had in his house was sufficient enough to believe that he had ties with the Spanish trains.

Need I say more? We've gone OD on the paranoia here. 9/11 is a tragedy, but must it be so overplayed, that we track down some of the most innocent people. So, racial profiling or is the FBI just doing their job professionally and thoroughly? You decide, cuz I really shoudl get back to studying. :-)

Ugh I hate computers- I have to write this all over agian
Current mood: working

This is pathetic. Bush admin. is calling on Kofi Annan ot resign??? Are you kidding me? Because now the world is accusing him of fraud and lack of overseeing Iraq under Saddamn's rule. Please, and we charge into Fallujah withOUT the UN, place some kind of ridiculous military installment that will only further incite the Iraqi to rebel and promote more terrorism and hate towards America. Maybe politics is way more complicated than this for me to comprehend, but really if we're trying to stop terrorism, then why are we so easily provoking it?
And now the UN is being castigated for a nominal affair considering the oil for food scandal was not in their hands, but rather Saddam and his 20 bill smuggling is reprehensible.

So now the world, or at least our political experts want to get rid of one extraordinary peace-keeping, globe-unifying, nobel peace prize winning legend with a convincing yet famously sonorous voice? Now really, who will you replace him with? That's right. Kofi is the man.


and now back to calculus! :-D
