S. 1959 and the Great Social Divide

Even Representative Lynn Woolsey, D-CA,’s e-mailed auto-reply to Patriot Act inquiries states that religious and peace groups are being targeted as “terrorists” under the Patriot Act.

Clearly, the word “terrorism” is similarly being used in S.1959 almost as code language targeting activists. Because overwhelmingly and all over the ACLU’s website are endless examples of activists such as Greenpeace, the American Friends Service Committee, Common Cause, anti-war activists, and more being dubbed as “terrorists” by the Bush Administration itself.

The fact that the Red Cross estimates more than 70% of Guantanamo detainee “terrorists” to be innocent is yet one more proof of the farcical lie called the war on terror. Perhaps, more accurately, it may even be called the war OF terror. That may be something to think about.
