The terrorists have already won.

The terrorists have already won. At this point they don’t even have to do anything. We’re already living in a state of constant hysteria & panic fueled by the media’s feeding frenzy. As I’ve said before, 9-11 didn’t change anything. We aren’t in any more danger now than we were before 9-11. All it did was make us wake up to the danger that was there all along. We’re one step closer to living in a total police state, which is exactly what the terrorists want. When the last remnant of our freedom is gone, the terrorists can claim total victory.

Here are two headlines that illustrate this from my daily Sun-Sentinel news mailing:

BROOKLYN BRIDGE CLOSED FOR HOUR AMID HEIGHTENED SECURITY ALERT

The Brooklyn Bridge was closed for an hour this morning as police

checked out a suspicious package, one day after law enforcement

officials said the Statue of Liberty and the bridge may be

targeted by terrorists in future attacks.

UNPLUGGED METAL DETECTOR FORCES EVACUATION AT LAUDERDALE AIRPORT

A terminal at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollwood International Airport was
