"We're a great nation. We're a nation of resolve. We're a nation that can't be cowed by evildoers. I've never had more faith in America than I have right now." -- George W. Bush September 16, 2001 Vist BushCountry.org today! http://www.bushcountry.org ======================================================================== Bush Update Weekly Radio Address THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. I'm pleased to report that our nation continues to takeimportant steps in the war against terrorism. Next week, the House of Representativeswill be voting on an airline security bill that Congressman Don Young has introduced. It was modeled after proposals I made last month. Under the Young bill, the federalgovernment will assume complete control of airport security and screening. It alsogreatly expands the Federal Air Marshal program, and provides substantial new fundingfor secure cockpits and other security measures aboard airplanes. There's a critical difference between the Young bill and the bill the Senate passed a fewweeks ago. My approach gives the government the flexibility it needs to assemble askilled and disciplined screening work force.

Certainly, it is important and desirable that the citizens of a nation at war have confidence and trust in their government. We should be mindful, however, that this need for trust cuts both ways. War tends necessarily to increase the concentration of power in the federal government, and particularly in the executive branch. In a free republic, such times as war increase as well the necessity that citizens trust their own judgment. Even as we willingly accept the increased energy of the government in those areas where it is truly necessary, we must increase as well our vigilant insistence that government power respect the permanent principles of liberty. The particular danger in times of war or crisis is that the legitimate need for energetic government action will provide cover for those who, from vice or ignorance, seek to expand government power at the expense of the very liberty which it is government's purpose to secure.

By Carol Devine-Molin Recent media reports indicate that the FBI is frustrated, noting difficulties in extracting information from approximately 150 suspected terrorists that remain in custody pursuant to the September 11th "Day of Infamy". Among the many zipped-mouthed individuals, there is detainee Zacarias Moussaoui, a Moroccan national with close ties to the 9/11 hijackers and allegedly key in the current investigation. How should the FBI address this thorny predicament of silent suspects? Interestingly, the idea of resorting to "torture" of suspects is being publicly floated at this juncture, which should give us pause. This is possibly a public relations "trial balloon" by the government, in order to calibrate American response to what may become an unsavory reality of war, and to "psychologically inoculate" Americans before accounts begin to surface.

Nightly talk television programs are filled, start to finish, over individuals and organizations advocating everything from outright racial profiling directed at Arab appearing individuals to hiring thirty thousand federal shock police to stand post at the luggage check-in and security portals. The Bill of Rights trembles in its very frame at the stampede of good intentions and short wit directed its way. It can be expected that following any trauma, the public will respond with its emotions showing sharply on its sleeve. Following the events of September 11, the American public is responding clothed in panic. Such are these good intentioned and feeble minded suggestions on how our government ought to deal with terrorism, a tunic of fear.

Words like these may seem strange to inhabitants of the twenty first century, but to citizenry of the revolutionary period, this was the making of serious discourse. Just hollow rhetoric, or was this sentiment of the day, a fair reflection by a significant portion of the population?

Oh my here we go. I don't recall the UN issuing any mandates to the terrorists, whoever they are, or their supporting nations, to halt terrorist attacks on the US, including bioterrorism, until they could make sure no American children would be harmed.

By Star Parker During these difficult times, it is beautiful and energizing for me to watch my fellow Americans refocus on the powerful principles that makeour country so great. I know, as I see the flags flying and the red, white, and blue lapel pins now widely sported, that we are indeed a nation under God, exalting and realizing the will of the Creator as each of us fulfill our unique destinies as free men and women. Yet, in the midst of this, I am also saddened and dismayed by things I am hearing from some of my fellow citizens and from some of our allies' abroad. What type of thinking could conclude that the horrendous, murderous act that occurred on September 11th can be justified in any way and that somehow, this grotesque behavior is our fault? What type ofthinking could possibly conclude that a cowardly act, resulting in the murder of innocent men, women, and children, is religious or heroic?
