Think of the government powers he may invoke under such conditions?? Right up his fucking alley. Hell he may have us under martial law. Just a thought, but one that needs to be pondered. What is his real motive? Do you believe he is such a humanitarian???? really???? give views please.
in regards to the original post:

i don't think there is an underlying conspiracy to invoke martial law or any such grandstand play. brak is merely trying to get back some of the support he has lost from the rabid anti-bush crowd. as his numbers tank, he needs a diversion to keep even his own party from turning on him. just like the few well publicized vietnam era trials; they may find a minor scapegoat or two to feed to the wolves, but it's all for show. the democrats used an unpopular war (is there any other kind these days?) to paint their opponents with a broad brush and win the lion's share of the elected positions. now that they find they can do nothing but continue on their predecessors' course, they all fear being soiled with that same brush. all of our current crises can be traced back, at least in part, to the failures of the same ideologies that they are now attempting to expand upon and i'm sure they see another witch hunt as just one more circus they can toss in front of the american public to supplement the crusts of bread they are already throwing to us.

not that the messiah wouldn't jump at a chance to cage up the dissenters. he has even made sure we are all aware of just who those enemies of the state may be, should he feel it necessary to silence any of us. you may notice that the powers of the patriot act have become back page news, even though they are still in effect. none of our keepers are so foolish as to give up such hard won control, knowing that they would never be able to regain that power without showing themselves to be the power hungry tyrants they really are.
