From: JSH on 18 Apr 2008 21:58 ---terrorism was always referred to as being by "foreign" agents. After the explosion, President Clinton called for FBI agents to be able to tap phones at will, as they can do now for organized crime. In other words, not only was there the OKC bombing terroristic act, the Government freedom terrorists then demanded even greater Police State powers over all of us.

In 1794, James Madison pointed out "the old trick of turning every contingency into a resource for accumulating force in the government." ---- I don't know any terrorists or foreign agents.

for rehab programs, but there were no available slots. Not enough funding. Law enforcement drug hysteria. Decades of Drug War. Those rumor-level stories about our government encouraging drugs to reach the inner cities were weird. Remember, we've been having a Drug War for four decades now. I guess there is a certain logic to it. Obviously the government is into hysteria on the matter: it is then possible that they would want to continue having a drug problem so they could continue the hysteria.
