If there are a half-million legitimate terrorists suspects in the country then maybe we should take a hard look at their cause: If there are that many, maybe they’re on to something.
Much more likely, there are not at all 509,000 legitimate terror suspects here. More likely, it is your government at its maniacal work. The [...]
