Hello all: According to the front page of the C.R.I.M.E. web site: "C.R.I.M.E C.R.I.M.E (Computer Related Investigations Management & Education) is an Oregon working group, based in Portland, OR, dedicated to combining Law Enforcement, High-Tech Industry, and Academic resources.

" This group has also become a part of the Infra-Guard program as to which information is disseminated via federal resources who participate locally with our chapter. This email not setup to be a forum for spreading your political views. I am sure there are plenty of ways to do that not the least of which would be to send email to your government representatives. Please refrain from spreading your discontent using this forum unless it is related to the charter and purpose listed above. On behalf of many, Thank you, -Kris -----Original Message----- From: Steve Coffman [mailto:divinstr@dsl-only.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 10:13 AM To: Crime List; fw@private Subject: Re: CRIME FW: [Infragard_unsecured] OPERATION LIBERTY SHIELD At 09:11 PM 3/18/03 -0800, Alan wrote: >On Tue, 2003-03-18 at 09:56, George Heuston wrote: > > > Operation LIBERTY SHIELD is a comprehensive national plan designed > > to increase protections for America's citizens and infrastructure > > while maintaining the free flow of goods and people across our > > border with minimal disruption to our economy and way of life. > >Operation Liberty Shield ("Shielding us from our liberties") sounds >like one of those insurance scams designed to separate old people from >their money.

It's been a cash cow for the media and government agencies and they help it along by adding "terror" to Americans that something drastic is going to happen in their neighborhood. I'll give some credit to the FBI trying to get the statement out that the NW is not a target for terrorist. Of course, the local mayor who likes to see her name in print, made sure she had a larger headline with "Operation Safe City"! Sounds like Commissioner Gordon and Batman have arrived in town. I guess it just saddens me that the American population on the whole are that (what's the politically correct word for stupid), to fall for this. The part of the presidents current plan to dump Saddam then pour billions into Iraq to help build their infrastructure and feed their people really ticks me off! WE have starving people and are close to a financial disaster right here in the good ole USA! How about fixing us first for a change? Pour those billions into our economy, create some jobs like FDR did. Do something else besides pissing off the rest of the world. The only positive thing I see out of this is the support for the military personnel. That's something we did not have when I served 30+ years ago and it's good to see the public suport. OK, sorry for adding this much but I needed to say it somewhere.
