Ärende: Insurgency In Iraq...
=============================
Mulling over Jeff Binkley to Steve Asher 27 Sep 2004

SA>Looks like the "catastrophic success" in Iraq is becoming
SA>even more catastrophic and successful. Perhaps the USA &
SA>its allies will come to realise that they are about as
SA>popular as blowies at a barbie, and withdraw before they
SA>achieve even more "catastrophic success".

SA>---------------------------------------------------------

SA>Insurgency in Iraq 'intensifying'

 JB> Excellent.  I'd rather have the terrorists in Iraq than on Main St.
 JB> USA. 

I wouldn't worry too much about terrorists on Main St. USA, apart from
an "October Surprise" or whatever "Operation Northwoods" event or events
the Architects of Aquarius decide are necessary to gull / cow the already 
easily gulled & cowed US populace into accepting the "solutions" that 
they are implementing in the name of "homeland security". 

Before too long, you will find it very difficult to employ, or to be
employed, to buy or to sell, or to travel internally or externally
without the appropriate state-issued identity credential. It won't
matter whether it is "liberals" such as Kerry, or "conservatives"
such as Dreier, the result will be the same.

The USA is rapidly becoming the very thing that it denounced during
the "cold war" - a society where people are not free to travel or
to speak freely against the Administration. 

All that is missing is the Zils.

=====================================================================

National ID card a terrible idea

As Americans continue to debate immigration, they need to make sure
that precious rights and freedoms are not abridged by any new public
policy that may grow out of the discussion.

That's why we urge Congress to strongly oppose a proposal by Rep.
David Dreier, R-Calif., that would require all workers to have what
his Web site describes as a Social Security card with their picture on
it. It would "contain an electronic signature strip that contains an
encrypted electronic identification strip, unique to that individual."

Whenever you applied for a new job, your employer would be required 
to verify you are a citizen or legal alien "via a phone verification
system, to be set up by" the Department of Homeland Security.
Employers not following the procedure would face fines up to $50,000
per occurrence.

Dreier's proposal includes other reforms, such as adding 700 more
Border Patrol agents and a guest-worker program. His proposal came in
response to an effort by a local radio show to throw him from office
for what the hosts say is his support for high illegal immigration.

Dreier says his proposal wouldn't impose a national identification
card. But what else would it be?

"It scares the hell out of me," remarked former Rep. Barry Goldwater
Jr.; he represented the San Fernando Valley in Congress in the 1970s
and is the son of the late Sen. Barry Goldwater. In the 1970s, Dreier
was an intern with the younger Goldwater.
