The real threats to our national security are still thugs who hijack airplanes

Has there ever been a more bureaucratized notion of “war”? To those like Reese, it isn’t a war until the officials, in this case Congress, say it is. Let’s see here: We were attacked on September 11 resulting in massive civilian casualties. We have responded by unleashing bombs and bullets on a nation, Afghanistan, which harbored the bad guys. It appears that we will be doing the same to another nation, Iraq, in the near future. I don’t know your definition of “war,” but that certainly fits into mine. Leave it to liberals to get hung up on technicalities.

Next, Reese trivializes FBI effortss:

You don't need laws that allow the FBI to demand lists of books bought at bookstores or books checked out of libraries. There is such a law, and once the FBI makes a demand, the bookseller or the library is forbidden to say the FBI's demand ever happened. Does the FBI seriously think that a professional terrorist is going to buy or check out a book on "How to Be a Terrorist"? Apparently so.

Come now. I suspect the FBI is a tad more sophisticated that that. What shop if someone checked out the following titles from a public library: Mein Kempf, The Anarchist Cookbook, and Aviation for Dummies? Wouldn’t that raise a red flag with you, Mr. Reese? It certainly would with me. Here’s hoping that it would with the FBI too.

Finally, he concludes with this liberal cliché:

Of course, the real threats to our national security are soil erosion, soil contamination, unjust foreign policies, a profiteering health-care system and millions of hungry and poor people in the world. I don't think either the Pentagon or the Justice Department will be of much use in dealing with these genuine threats.

No, I think send anthrax through the mail. That, and perhaps foolishness posing as clever opinion.
