Why do people want the Government to have so much power after 9/11?

Question

With the "patriot act" and the "Military Commissions Act of 2006" where they both point blank say that anyone (including American Citizens) can be held and interrogated included torture and RAPE to get confessions?

Where is the willingness to LIVE without Governmental control? If you don't believe me just try flying. 9/11 would never have happened if they had the impenetrable cock pit doors in the first place. There were plunty of warnings of terrorists storming into the cock pit to institute this, but no one ever did anything, why?

And then you expect the Government to protect you when they can't even CLOSE the borders? It just baffles me, is all.

I notice there isn't any Republicans answering the question either. How scary!!

Answer 1

Fear. This is why Cheney/Bush keep Americans in the state of fear.
