Yahoo! News - 2 congressmen think small, leaving nation at risk

This is nonsense. It is first nonsense to call on the people to "rally together" in the sense of rubber stamping initiatives just because they claim to "make us safe". Many things already receiving such a stamp certainly do not make us safer. If we are to remain a free country then we must perserve the full right to disagree with one another about what is and is not in our best interest. Anything less is a move to something very different than freedom.

It is not at all clear to civilians nor to the experts that the 9/11 panel recommendations regarding intelligence are reasonable and necessary. The issues are complex and deserve honest inquiry NOT hysterical disowning of those who remain unconvinced.
