Dave Mundt responds:

Fear will cause people to do terribly irrational things. No
matter what one feels about M. Moore's movie Fahrenheit 9/11, it
raised a very good point about the current actions of the Feds. One
of the Congressmen interviewed was discussing how many of the actions
taken by the government appear to be designed more to keep a continual
undercurrent of fear in the citizens, than to reassure us.
