The fact that the truth about this murder rampage was ignored by NYPD and then Mayor Guliani comes as no surprise. We've been operating under the fallacy that if you don't say it - it's not true since the beginning of the terrorists attacks - when they were hijacking our planes back in the 1970's. Even the warning the shiek gave about attacking and bringing down the WTC went virtually ignored - else why not shore up the borders, shut down all immigration from countries where terrorists live and work etc.

We still have our collective heads in the sand with the anti Iraq war stance by the Democrats and leftist leaning people right here and all over the world.

While I agree that we haven't prosecuted this war on terror as strongly as we should have, we still need to wipe our enemies off the face of the earth before they get us again. That doesn't happen if we ignore even the slightest suspicion of terrorist activitiy let alone murder rampages.
