#2 The rule of marginality comes into play. That is, there is no effective way of stopping the use of explosive devices in the US. However, the threat they pose is insignificant.

i.e.: "actually hasn't happened (yet), so we're saying/but downplaying/ it til we can pin a single American death at home on BushCo., then we'll wail away like a Canuck on a baby seal"

#8 g: the threat is real, I agree. However, any (right or left wing)nut with a pipebomb and clever triggering could do the same. It was apparent that:

a) they were paying valid and needed attention to the threat of importation of terror arms/people into doestic U.S.; and

b) they were prepping the ground to say "we told U so" should something happen;

c) all the while opposing any attempt at intelligence gathering via net/phones/profiling ...even while waiting to blame the Admin for failure to do so.

I call lying agenda/partisan-driven hijinx and all-aroiund ass-sucking MSM drivel
