If the USA cannot handle terror in their courts they should stop trying to claim that they are fighting world terror

Submitted by david oshen (Israel), Nov 15, 2007 at 10:04

It appears that President Bush's claim to be fighting world terror is completely without any basis if the whole legal system in the USA can't get its act in order.The USA should just throw in the towel. Fighting terror is a complicated business, requiring all parts of the administration to pull together.

Sadly only another shock will wake up everyone to the fact that terrorists are deadly enemies capable of creating disasters and they cant be beaten in this lackadaisical way!
