Our consitution has been trampeled over and over again, and the biggest terrorist threat to this nation is not the Chechans or foreign Muslims - it is those in DC who are violating the constitution and your rights.
This is an excellent point, Shy.
Their acts were terrorist acts, but our response to it is getting more and more concerning. Those who give up freedom for safety will have neither.
