Mr. Neumayr tries to point out the double standard of liberals towards President Bush's policies and wishes us to believe their is a mutually exclusive goals of civil liberties and national security. Unfortunately his completely misses another option.

The Bush administration could have easily prevented the tragedy of September 11th and still not even come close to violating any civil rights. If it had just been vigilant in enforcing immigration laws, monitoring the terrorist watch list and investigated the several warning memos about foreign nationals taking pilot training; any of this information would have led the government right to the terrorist.

p>This administration was just too preoccupied with linking anyone and everyone to Iraq. Ms. Rice, in her testimony, stated that the President was concerned with the strategy of eliminating Al Qaeda, not "swatting flies." To this I reply, the devil is in the details and Mr. Bush wrongly overlooked every detail to this nation's regret.
