Subject: complaints about the governemnt spying!
This one I could not leave alone....
Speaking of the terrorist COWARDS. If their cause is so just and noble
to their God, how come they have to hide their faces under a black hood.
I equate them to nothing less the a group we had in and sadly still can
find here in the US at times. I might make some enemies now... The KKK
yep the Terrorists that hide under a hood are no different that the KKK.
If there case is so just why do they not show us their faces. a stupid
low life COWARD that is all a terrorist is. They would never be willing
to take a person on bare handed and hand to hand.
