        Abandoning Liberty; Gaining Insecurity

        By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

        02/01/05 -- Should Americans have to give up the Bill of Rights in order to be "safe" from terrorists? Actually, it doesn't matter what Americans think. The trade has already been made--and without any input from the people. The "democracy" that America is exporting is in fact a Homeland Security State with more surveillance powers than Saddam Hussein.
        ...

        Amerika is fast becoming a "securocracy" (a term coined by Irish journalist Tim Pat Coogan regarding Northern Ireland). The rampant disregard for the law, both in word and spirit, is disturbing to say the least.

        Especially when you consider this Admin. will stop at nothing to destroy their enemies to a far greater extent that I have ever seen (like outing your CIA agent wife in retaliation).

        In many a Central and South American country during the countless 'dirty wars" that took place, the key aim of the leftist or even rightist terrorists was to force the state to adopt more autocratic means by bombing and killing everything under the sun. The key objective was to spark a mass uprising against a blatantly fascist regime. Of course the regimes did become lawless, fascist states, but they were rarely overthrown.

        So in essence, the terrorists did achieve some of their stated objectives. Al-Qaida has been winning in this regard. When Bush utters liberty, he makes me ill.

          I think the problem is that people with a voice and something to say are easily discredited, mostly by the radio talking heads and FOX news, whose hosts will blatantly ridicule left-leaning voices.
          If these voices had anything of substance to say, they would not be so easily discredited.
