12 arrests in the name of terrorism... out of 814,073

Less Than 0.01% Of Homeland Security Cases Are Terrorism Related

Records obtained from the immigration courts under the Freedom of Information Act show that only 0.0015 percent of the total number of cases filed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security were terrorism related, despite the fact that the Bush administration has repeatedly asserted that it is the primary focus of the DHS.

A report issued Sunday by independent research group The Transactional Records Action Clearinghouse (TRAC) found that in the last three years there have only been 12 charges of terrorism out of 814,073 cases.

We all knew, the passing the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act was nothing but a smokescreen to curtail civil and human rights. Even I, in my scepticism, realised that on occasion, these acts, and other like it, would be used to further the agenda of the Bush Administration. However, as it turns out, I was completely wrong. These acts are not being used on occasion to foster the government's ulterior motives, but instead, they are only, on occasion being used for their intended purpose.

I can't even begin to describe the sadness I feel.

Using such an extreme form of the laws to incarcerate over 800,000 people, the size of a small city, amounts to the action of a totalitarian regime. What is worse, within the eyes of the law this is all acceptable; this is, essentially, legislated dictatorship.

When the numbers are this telling, how can any branch of the government allow this injustice to continue, even in the name of security and freedom?

The "terrorists" who "hated America for their freedoms" must hate them a lot less now.
