I have been casually listening few minutes ago to the questioning of Robert Mueller by Senator Patrick Leahy, Senate Judiciary Committee's chairman in regard to the 9-11 attacks.

Senator Leahy asked Mueller if any of the information fed into the FBI's computer data base was ever researched routinely by any agent by using key words as everybody else does everyday using the Internet. Mueller responded that such searches or queries by keywords were not performed and that is why the FBI is revamping its computer system so that new technologies will allow the FBI with the immediate required information without the need of using searches or queries by keyword.

I just want you reader to understand the level of artificial understanding this top FBI man has as he wants to offset the intelligence failures of the FBI in preventing the 9-11 attacks with new technologies which will not entail the use of our own fundamental human capacity to think and imagine.

This artificial fabrication to put the intelligence of machines over the intelligence of people is further confirmed with yesterday's announcement by Attorney General John Ashcroft to register, fingerprint and photograph more than 100,000 visa holders who pose national security concerns, and later extend this treatment to any of the 35 million people who visit the United States each year.

I have a question: Where are we heading with the intelligence shown by this Bush administration?
