… the Bush administration launches a new pre-election antiterrorism campaign this week that will include the likely arrests of hundreds of aliens from Middle Eastern and other countries known to be havens for terrorists. Homeland Security has targeted for possible detention as many as 2,000 foreigners who are believed to be in violation of their visas and about whom there is “soft intelligence” suggesting possible terror connections.

RING, RING, RING
TOM: Ridge here
KARL: Hi Tom, this is Karl – how are you – hey we have a problem here and I need your help.
TOM: Sure Karl, what’s up? Need some guards at a rally somewhere?
KARL: No, no – you see, this Kerry guy is pointing all over Iraq – and says it’s a mess – now even the media takes note – we can’t let this happen – we need to change the headlines – but nothing like anthrax this time – that’s too negative – you know – we ARE Winning the War on Terra – even Osama holds back for now.
TOM: Okay, okay, so you want more like positive action. Want some terrorists dead or something more subtle?
KARL: Subtle sounds fine – sounds fine – and big – big numbers.
TOM: Hmmm big. Ahh, here’s an idea: Foreigners, illegal and we have plenty of them and they don’t vote. Girly man’s land is full of them and they speak Spanish – nearly as good as screwing the French.
KARL: No, no – not the Mexicans – cheap as they come – Texas needs them – get some others – or these nasty academics and work from there – toss in some mullahs and foreign actors – girly man has that list – and make it big.
TOM: So you want one hundred.
KARL: I said big – you know like ten thousand or so – big TERRORIST headlines.
TOM: Ten thousand? Hey I don’t have room for ten thousand. The RNC still has Pier 57, but even that’s too small. Let’s see, I can give you like one thousand max. That all I can put into cells right now.
KARL: Make that five thousand Tom – four thousand – just stack them – hey, even the Army could do that.
TOM: Two, two is all I can give you now and I can’t hold them for long, you know like six weeks or so.
KARL: Let me see my calendar – oh five weeks left – five weeks would be enough – and two thousand is fine for now – and find some evidence – like something chemical or laptops – you know cyberwar – just beef it up – and make it last – like, you know, five weeks – make one headline each day.
TOM: Yeah – okay, okay – I got it. Two thousand roundup – Liberals, immigrant terrorists and the like and stick some evidence up their asses. And daily media briefs – Consider it done – I am happy to help – We’ll start Monday – That’s fine with you?
KARL: Yeah, Monday is fine – gotta go and tell Dick now – see you and have a nice one – bye.
TOM: Amen, bye.
