        Doesn't it seem kind of strange to you that terrorist are
        allowed to buy guns in America.
        \_ I'm more struck by a college-educate American reading USA Today.
           \_ I am impressed by your educate. By the way, it is 2 cups to
              a pint, 2 pints to a quart, and 4 quarts to a gallon. A cup
              is 8 fluid ounces. A pound is 16 ounces, which has nothing
              to do with fluid ounces. How much longer before my Cal
              degree is worth the same as one from CSU?

5/4     So, Bin Laden, star of Fox News, dies at 51.  But really the
        question is, when are we declaring war on pakistan for
        1. harboring a known terrorist
        2. taking our money ($ billions) for "antiterror" operations?

1/4     Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
        security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
        train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or
        sporting event. As many or more people will be killed and it will
        still make the news. I don't get why all of our security, and
        apprently much of the terrorist's resources, is focused on airplanes.

Gun loophole hurts anti-terror efforts Keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists is a top priority for the United States government. Ditto for getting information quickly to federal agents when a suspected terrorist tries to buy a gun or worse, succeeds. But those goals are being undermined because the nations chief law enforcement agency, the Justice Department, is using a loophole in federal law to let terror suspects purchase guns. Until recently, department critics contend, the loophole also denied FBI terrorism investigators access to information that might help them track suspects. Justice officials say they are following the law, which does not bar the sale of a firearm to someone merely suspected of a being in a terrorist group. But under Attorney General John Ashcroft, the department has sought to pacify powerful gun lobbies, even after 9/11. The pattern makes a mockery of the departments tough talk about needing broad changes in other criminal laws to win the war on terror at home. A small, bipartisan group of senators is complaining about the gun loophole and calling for legislation to plug it. While Justice officials discussed the issue with Senate staffers Tuesday, they have yet to join that push for a remedy. The loophole stems from the rules that govern background checks required when someone tries to buy a gun. Suspected terrorists are not specifically prohibited from making a purchase, though felons, spouse abusers and illegal immigrants are. As a result, when a federal government computer check discovers that an individual on a terrorist watch list is trying to buy a firearm, the purchase is allowed to go forward. Only some other disqualifying factor, such as a prior conviction, would prevent it. Yet the very purpose of watch lists is to help authorities track dangerous individuals. The lists are used, for instance, to flag people making airplane reservations who might pose a threat. Since 9/11, 12 people on terrorist watch lists have been allowed to purchase firearms, according to aides to Sen.
