It's good that the American people are being vigilant, because it sure seems our government isn't!
I can't speak for everybody, but 'necessity' matters very little to me. I'm misanthropic enough that I could really care less about 'extremely bad things' our government does, necessary or otherwise. Just in the name of self-interest though, I don't think America needs or ought to brag about doing them.
Nor do I believe the only way to determine an individual terrorist's guilt is through a system of due process. That needs to be our public stance, in stone. But if the CIA wants to keep for itself a room without doors or windows- hey, fine by this American.

What should the government have done in this particular case, given everything you now know about it?
What a stupid you are.
Hey Crooky, regale us with tales of how vigilant your beloved gang of dubya/ head/condi were in the months leading up to 9/11.
The guy's father went to the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria and told them of his concerns - but the government said it wasn't enough to put him on the watch list or revoke his visa. Seems his father was right - and if this guy had suceeded with his plan, everybody would've been screaming about it - saying why didn't they pay more attention?
And balli - you said you would've killed him if you'd been on that plane - so all I said was it was a good thing the passengers were being vigilant. Isn't that a good thing?
If you hate America so much and think it so incapable get the out. This country doesn't need trash like you constantly bad mouthing it.
Are we going to have to strip and send our undies through the scanner now?The plot to blow up an American passenger jet over Detroit was organized and launched by al Qaeda leaders in Yemen who apparently sewed bomb materials into the suspect's underwear before sending him on his mission, federal authorities tell ABC News.
I can't stand terrorists. They always make things worse for people. Airport and airline rules just got stricter because of this dumb-ass. I hope this bag gets life for this .
Yeah - kinda like you with the Bush Administration. Now all of a sudden you're so pro-America. You're such a tool. And a pathetic one at that.
I'm not bad-mouthing the country - I'm criticizing the policies of this administration.
To which specific policy of this administration are you referring?
What the is wrong with you? Serious question. It seems like you live the most hate-filled life of anyone i've come in contact with in a long time.
It's nothing that serious, Balli just hates people. Don't take it personally,_JaG.
I, personally, will be perfectly fine. It just seems like he needs a mother's love...like a hug. Or bottle of Zoloft.
The Dutch guy who stopped him is a hero. Some courage, amen to that.
LOL, dude went from being the son of an Elite Banker to being some chump on a plane that caught his crotch on fire.
One incident and 100s of Ms of innocent passengers will be ridiculously penalized in-flight, with the authorities admitting by these new rules that their check-in security is a charade.

ouch! that's gotta hurt.
This guy bought a one-way ticket, with cash, and checked NO luggage. He was practically screaming "I'm a terrorist" - but no one was listening. If not for dumb luck, we'd have had another Lockerbie incident on our hands.
But you can be sure Al-Quaida is working out the kinks and will strike again. Just like the first WTC bombing was unsuccessful - so they went back to the drawing board and figured out a new plan - and 3,000 people died.
WAKE UP AMERICA! November 2010 can't come fast enough.
"3,000 people died"
... because the Repugs and neo-c*nts were ideologically committed to ignoring anything Clinton had done, like pay attention to terrorists.
3000 people died because the Repugs were willfully negligent, intending to use any (permitted) attack as a lying pretext to go after Iran's oil, which is exactly what did.
It's a shame that's a distinction YOU couldn't see from 2001-2009.
He wasn't the seventh passenger.
I bet she drives a Dodge...![]()
yep, any dissent in 2001-2009 was shouted down as treasonously un American.
aka, Repugs EQUALS USA.
Also, the Repugs were in power for 8 months when 9/11 hit, but they weren't in any way responsible (Clinton was fully responsible),
but Magik Negro is 1000% responsible for the Christmas Day Crotch Burner.
WTF is wrong with you? Maybe you should switch to decaf.
