NATIONAL SECURITY

So what, 2001 and 2002 was a pretty rocky year as far as National Security goes. I don't remember anyone complaining about Roosevelt interning all them Japanese people when he did, National Security concerns you know.

You know, I saw a movie on the History Channel that I thought was a recent movie, but as I just researched and found out, the movie was made in 1998 and was very prophetic. The movie was titled "The Siege". Its about Arabs who blew up a bus in NYC and the response of the Government. Rounding up all the Arabs and putting them in interment camps just like the Government did to the Japanese back in WW II. We will never know if it was wrong to do then or if it would be wrong to do it now. They have shown on the news where Muslims living here in the US sympathize with those Muslims that are suicide bombers over in Iraq. With so many living in the US, are we safe?

The description of the movie THE SIEGE:

A special agent of the FBI, a case officer of the CIA, and a general in the U.S. Army have all taken the same oath--"to support and defend the Constitution." But when a bus blows up in Brooklyn and campaign of terror begins to make its bloody mark on the streets of New York City, the men and women who have sworn to protect the country must now reckon with the many implications of their oath. Anthony "Hub" Hubbard, the head of the Joint FBI/NYPD Terrorism Task Force, is the man charged with keeping the city safe from an array of threats that seem to grow more terrifying with every headline. Elise Kraft is a CIA operative, now undercover, with important sources in the Arab-American community and ambiguous ties to the suspects. Her agenda, like that of her government's foreign policy, is more complex than Hub's. And yet these two are forced to work together, forging an uneasy alliance, as the incidents of terror threaten to paralyze the city under siege.
