I have questions for the GOP Senators ... why didn't the suspension of Civil Rights in the Patriot Act, and the costly expansion of the US Security State through the creation of the Department of Homeland Security prevent this terrorist attack in Boston from happening? Why did it not foresee the mayhem at Aurora, or Newtown, or the assassination of Dr Tiller ... all terrorist acts as well? Why did the Republicans in the Senate just vote to kill background checks on guns ... inviting any criminal or terrorist to access to all the weaponry they need to engage is mass murder of Americans? Why do Republican Senators scream for border control, and the same time they keep the borders wide open so the US Business constituents have uninterrupted access to low wage, undocumented workers? Why are Fertilizer Plants, like the one that just blew up the town of West, Texas, allowed to store insane amounts of ammonium nitrate under the radar of the DHS? Ammonium nitrate having been the key component in the destruction of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. It seems to me, Republican Senators, if DHS has no idea how much ammonium nitrate is being stored at Fertilizer Plants, they also have no idea who has access to it. That doesn't strike me as a definition of "Homeland Security".
Labeling the bomber an "Enemy Combatant" is just cosmetic at this point. There is no Homeland Security.
