...American or not.

I'm not American, however my wife is, and most of my friends are (hazard of living minutes from the border and spending most of my time online). Things that happen in the US concern me greatly.

Everything I've seen recently from the US looks like a McCarthy-esque witchhunt. If you donate to a charity, you are a terrorist. If you were born in the wrong country (no matter what your citizenship) you are a terrorist. If you are simply the wrong colour, you are a terrorist.

And now John Ashcroft wants the death penalty for all people who've had the slightest connection to a terrorist organization.

I'm all for declaring John Ashcroft a terrorist. George Bush might be one by the same rules of association and support that John Ashcroft is pushing for.
