Yeah, actually America is great. I spent 12 years in the Army defending a constitution that gives liberalist whiners the right to their opinion, and the same with the uptight conservatives. The deal is that everyone has the right to their opinion and you have the right not to like it. People in this country like to bitch about everything, but they don't really like to do anything about it. What happened, happened. Part of it is our fault as a country for getting comfortable and lazy. We were lax on laws, we were lax on security, and we thought we were untouchable. Now we know better. So now, we're going to go to the complete opposite extreme and go overboard on security and take freedoms away that have been ours for 200+ years? Makes no sense to me, but I do have faith that eventually we will find a balance in there somewhere. This is my opinion and I respect to the death your right to agree or disagree with it, but it is because America is the greatest country on this planet that I have the right to have this opinion. Thanks.

Way to go, Chief. I'm sure the families who lost loved ones on 9-11 will enthusiastically support your politically correct decision. And, if, and when one or more of the 200 non-citizens does something to contribute to more deaths from another terrorist activity, they'll fully understand your decision not to ask questions because it was the politically correct thing to do. Isn't America great! -----Original Message----- From: owner-crime@/var/spool/majordomo/lists/crime [mailto:owner-crime@/var/spool/majordomo/lists/crime]On Behalf Of Crispin Cowan Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 11:29 AM To: crime@private Subject: CRIME Kudos to Acting Police Chief Andrew Kirkland Kudos to Acting Police Chief Andrew Kirkland for defending civil liberties http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/21/national/21PORT.html?ex=1007363873&ei=1&en =978%20a71dca117098f Note: the above URL requires free "registration".
