Have They Forgotten

            
             On September 11th America awoke to the horrible news images of two .
             commercial airplanes flying straight into the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York. .
             Later we were horrified to hear about two other planes claiming the lives of innocent .
             Americans in Washington DC and in Pittsburgh. In the aftermath of the tragedies, .
             America has been coping by making new unnecessary laws to help enforce national .
             security. From Attorney General John Ashcroft's proposal, to outrageous procedures in .
             our airports, America has forgotten what they are all about. .
             On Tuesday, September 11th, our nation suffered the worst attack on its home turf. .
             No one can deny the gravity of the terrorists acts in New York and Washington DC. But .
             they were more than attacks on our citizens; they were attacks on what this nation stands .
             for. With rash actions being taken left and right, the last thing our country needs are the .
             people in charge to be getting carried away. Monitoring phone calls, using illegal .
             wiretaps in court, and monitoring electronic communication are all part of Attn. General .
             Ashcroft's proposal. While currently a warrant is needed to open any electronic mail, it .
             would be legal for the government to monitor the web sites and e-mail addresses used by .
             civilians. Attn. General Ashcroft's proposal to make it legal for police to have, "roving .
             wiretaps because suspects easily shift to new phones," (Huntley no pg) seems largely .
             unnecessary. Police could just as easily receive a new or altered warrant to add or .
             subtract any numbers. But with Ashcroft's recommendation the government would be .
             able to listen to any and all phone conversations the suspect would have, from phone .
             numbers ranging from home to work. The latter would be yet another form of invasion .
             of Americans. Not only is this unconstitutional, it is excessive.
             Another of Ashcroft's ideas would be to make a law that would legalize the use of .

WORDS Words can never convey what one experiences, The depth of communication not being accomplished by phrases or sentences that usually tend to barr and hurt and torture, Words that we misunderstand, Words that we misinterprit, How peaceful it would be, Were there no words to comprehend, To understand- We'd not fight, We'd not kill, We'd not hurt, We'd not betray, We'd not agonise in pain, Then again actions speak louder than words, Dancing away in front of our very own eyes, Atleast actions don't mislead, They may hurt, They may torture, They...
