Read My Guest Column in the Clarion Ledger

In May I went to Washington as a student advisor for the Y2i program at the University of Southern Mississippi.

I accidently learned (like we didn't know already) the poor state of our current security measures:
The next day, the knife traveled through no fewer than five secure locations. I brought it into the U.S. Mint, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian's Museum of the American Indian and I later gained admittance to the U.S. Supreme Court building standing feet away from the courtroom.

Most frightening, however, is that I went into the Dirksen Senate building, through its security, and met with U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, all while I had a knife on my person.

It is with this in mind that I ask citizens to consider the actions of our government recently which it claims will protect us. Laws have been passed allowing government agents to tap into our phone calls, demand our records (without being required to tell those they're targeting), and detain U.S. citizens infinitely.

Rudy Giuliani: The Only Candidate Serious About "Security"



Hat Tip to Pensacola Beach Blog

It amazes me that someone who has failed so often and so consistently is being considered for the job of President of the United States. On September 11th he didn't fail miserably, but even that day was a lot more deadly due to his actions. He's no hero.
