Newsworthy? Does anyone doubt that Pres Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, Carter...etc... never issued such an order?? ....that we will never know about.......and quite possibly only a handful of people will ever know about? After Sept 11th, these same media types screamed bloody murder about what woulda coulda shoulda been done to prevent those attacks. Let's see the current population of the US is around 280 million (+/-) .... that "up to a thousand" folks were hyper-scrutinized based on actions or key words that showed up in e-mails or in phone conversations doesn't quite sound like gestapo tactics to me. Of course Ted Kennedy and pals were on TV, rabid, outraged and foaming at the mouth and cryin for the Prez to "restore" democracy. Gimme a break and pass the Tylenol, puh-leeeze!
