And, of course, the Al-Guardian is all over it. Like flies on you know what.

"Michael Moore fired his opening salvo against George Bush and his rightwing cronies with his bestseller Stupid White Men. Now the president is in his sights again. In this second extract from his new book he asks his old enemy seven awkward questions."

Actually, they aren't all that awkward (a couple are even 'Yes' or 'No'). But I guess it is how you sell the news.

But this is the one that gets me.

"5. Why are you protecting the Second Amendment rights of potential terrorists?"

"Mr Bush, in the days after September 11, the FBI began running a check to see if any of the 186 "suspects" the feds had rounded up in the first five days after the attack had purchased any guns in the months leading up to September 11 (two of them had). When your attorney general, John Ashcroft, heard about this, he immediately shut down the search. He told the FBI that the background check files could not be used for such a search and these files were only to be used at the time of a purchase of a gun."

That is correct. They are violating my right to privacy by doing that. Even if they are not looking for me.

"Mr Bush, you can't be serious! Is your administration really so gun nutty and so deep in the pocket of the National Rifle Association? I truly love how you have rounded up hundreds of people, grabbing them off the streets without notice, throwing them in prison cells, unable to contact lawyers or family, and then, for the most part, shipped them out of the country on mere immigration charges."

Because they are not citizens. The two who had tried to buy guns were turned down because they do not have the right to purchase firearms.

"You can waive their Fourth Amendment protection from unlawful search and seizure, their Sixth Amendment rights to an open trial by a jury of their peers and the right to counsel, and their First Amendment rights to speak, assemble, dissent and practise their religion. You believe you have the right to just trash all these rights, but when it comes to the Second Amendment right to own an AK-47 - oh no! That right they can have - and you will defend their right to have it."

Again Michael, they are not citizens. And therefore they do not have the rights of citizens. Much to your dismay I see. If they wanted an AK-47, one of our civilian versions wouldn't do. They would sneak them into the country, somehow.

"Who, Mr Bush, is really aiding the terrorists here?"

Good question there Mike? In my opinion, it is you for trying to cause dissent in the ranks and aid illegal immigrants by giving them the full rights of citizens. And in the meantime, helping disarm the true citizens of this country from being able to defend themselves.
