*Thousands of innocent people held and tortured in military prisons without trial who have been captured as potential "enemy combatants as were witches all in violation of Jefferson's noble words about the god given human right of pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

*American police departments gearing up a campaign to get people to spy on each other to justify the existence of anti-terrorism units in the same manner as the old war on witch craft.

* The Patriot Act and National Security Letters designed to allow the government to snoop on anyone without cause.

* And the most flagrant is consideration of making thoughts a crime!

Of the thousands of suspected terrorists arrested or held there have been less than a dozen convictions and a fear to release the others because they rightfully may then become enemy combatants as a result of the injustice done to them.

So in reality like the Witch Mania, we have a Terrorist Mania designed not to remove or destroy terrorists but rather to enlist and increase numbers, create acts of violence and continue the war for the sole purpose of further suppressing the rights of American citizens already held mentally captive by a false flag of fear.

Such continued posture allows persons as William Kristol of PNAC infamy and Elizabeth Cheney, daughter of Richard Cheney, the primary scorpion of 9-11, to continue to justify torture, violence and American terrorism against earth's inhabitants to ass cover the goals of special interests in achieving for the elite, the domination of earth, its peoples and resources.

Terrorism is not an enemy! It is a political tactic designed to instill fear in those who may oppose the goals of those who use it. It is best dealt with by police action and diplomacy. Indeed as the Carthaginian General Hannibal (247-182 BCE) espoused, justice, not war is the answer to terrorism.

Iraq's Sadam was not a terrorist to America. Afghanistan's Taliban were not terrorists to America. Neither had anything to do with 9-11. Yet we have spent eight years in an unwinable war when diplomacy could have handled any of the supposed conflicts.
