So are we only going to spy on REAL terrorists from now on |
|
I wonder how much taxpayers' money has been wasted by Bush and Cheney spying on innocent citizens?
Hopefully we will see a shake up in this department?

1. Better Question: What are we going to do to prevent it again |

Sure imprisoning the perps would go a long way to help - but we need to enact laws to prevent it from EVER happening again

3. This is a good question and I'm glad you brought it up |
|
How are we going to identify the real perps to begin with? More focus on the granting of visas and follow up? Satellite surveillance?

5. And how do they do that? |
|
I mean, what is the process? Watching international money moves? Watching raw material production, transfers, and usage? It is thought-provoking to me.

7. the process is real intelligence |
|
people are highly trained and technology is improving. Yes of course internatinal money is scrutinized, nuclear materials, weapons etc but we need to cut the nonsense.

10. Uhm, if we knew who was guilty and innocent ahead of time, that might work. |
|
Slight problem with that idea, though.
