Unfortunately Goodman missed an earlier act of terrorism by Ashcroft and his henchmen just one week prior to Sept. 11. In an incident that went largely unreported outside of Michigan, FBI sharpshooters slaughtered two of America's sons and burned a local campground, Waco-style, in a dispute over music festivals and pro-marijuana events. So, while Attorney General John Ashcroft fiddled at the Rainbow Campground massacre, the World Trade Center was about to suffer the deadly consequences of his folly. Ashcroft clearly needs to get his priorities straight, but maybe he needs a little guidance. Maybe it's time to focus the Justice Department's energies on a real threat and stop threatening our fellow Americans. Mike Plylar - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
