Betting on Terrorism

It is a shame that the program wasn't laid out properly to the press.

The press had no facts to lay out the program with. Their sources, including those Congressman, also had no facts. The press had to report the emotional response of those Congressman, et al because the only fact was the emotional response.

It demonstrates why so many must be poltically correct. Notice the large numbers of posters even in the Cellar who vocalized negative responses to the DARPA terrorist futures markets - when no essential details were still available. They responded emotionally. ""Marketing in death. It must be bad."" However they forgot to include other examples that are even more heinous - such as the gross by undertakers at funerals. Why only an emotional response advocated by the party?

BTW if I am so anti-republican: the only party I registered with was Republican - and I was a treasurer of a Republican action organization. Grew among nothing but Republicans. But learned to first seek facts - rather than jump to emtional conclusions for quick political gain. Problem with such a thinking process - some are so conjoined to their political agenda that they assume other contrary opinions must also be based upon emotional responses and political agenda. My only political agenda is to first mistrust every response from a politician or political party. Which is why some responses will be contrary to popularly held yet illogical beliefs - such as Saddam is building WMD to attack the US. For this I am labeled anti-republican?

Again an emotional response based upon no facts. There are some Republicans so extremist as to not work for American such as the Project for a New American Century. Currently a president who would lie like Nixon, to invade another sovereign nation while facts be damned. For citing that glaring fact up front before the invasons; for that I am anti-Republican? Better add Senators McCain and Spectre to the list for some of their anti-Republican thinking. But then the list need no facts? Emotion is more than sufficient to replace logic.
